Been procrastinating for a while about what to pair with my 124 Spider and finally settled on an ‘F’.
It’s an AWD 5.0 with one owner and full Main Dealer history.
V8 itch needed to be scratched whilst I have my health and we still have a Country.

That looks lovely; even better it’s not on black wheels!

Lovely car and almost practical given it's AWD.

These were always beautiful and will continue to age really well. What an engine to cut your V8 teeth on!

I had a RWD R a few years back and look back with fondness. The noise and the power made every drive an event.

Good luck with it. Can imagine some great trips out in that!

Had my V8 AWD for 18 months now. Absolutely loving it. Mine’s been remap and has an SVR exhaust, it s pretty lively.

This is why Jaguar wants to change its clientele.

Perhaps the Op was referring to the threat of WW3?

Indeed.

Some folks cannot even buy a used car without telling us all about those pesky swarthy fellows taking our jerbs.

I preferred it when the ill mannered kept their prejudiced bile to themselves.

Who did the work? I've got an F-Pace SVR and wouldn't mind making it even sillier...

Nice I think an SVR might be my next all in one car rather than running two! Speak to Paramount Performance, not the cheapest but do multiple pre dyno checks, plus multiple runs and tweaking. I was there for around 6 hours.

Many thanks. The SVR is terrific. Massively exceeded my expectations.

Lovely car even if I'm not a fan of white, but I'd want a manual gearbox and 2WD. But it's your car so enjoy it. thumbup

There's NO threat of WWIII.
The threat (and enemy) is the government!

That’s a great car - unnecessary attitude. Take it to the NP&E section and vent your reactionary spleen there.

Readers cars is (fortunately) a politics-free zone.

Awesome car though!

I thought OP meant country side to drive in been as it's all being built on instead of the empty houses and industrial estates.

Anyway this is a readers cars thread not NP&E. Love the car OP as someone else said looks so much better without black wheels. In the right spec it's got to be the best looking of the last decade. I've not heard the V8 in person but if it's anything like the Range Rove SVR it must sound epic too.

He can't without another 400 odd posts, so strap in for an OP post heavy Readers Car thread hehe

They really are awesome cars. Just for the sheer mental-ness of the thing I'd want a RWD one (and actually went to see one) but my budget wouldn't get me a good one.
