Hi all
Brilliant forum...very helpful
Joining here via 10 years of GT3 ownership followed by 2.5 years with an XK RS.

Spotted the Firesand SVR F type at an Aston dealership near Coventry and simply fell in love!!

Picking it up on Tuesday.....it’s planned as a long term mate

Reg is BF66WCT, not sure if anyone has any knowledge on it

I’ll let you know how we get on!,

Car number 44189. Model Year 17.
Jaguar main dealer warranty until 24th November 2019.

The car was PDI'ed and 1st service by Guy Salmon of Coventry. The service was a little late (over time not mileage).

The second service was due 10 days ago. If it was done by Aston dealer then make sure they update the service history online.

Enjoy, post some pics when you get it.

Many thanks...hoped you would reply!
Couldn’t do a full resume for me could you? You seem to have a mine of information. The car seems very genuine. I have looked at a number and this one ticks all the boxes.
How do I post pictures, I have loads!

Everybody like the fire sand, even the ponies on Dartmoor, over 20 cars in the park but only congregated around my F Type.

Jaguar system does not allow search by colour. Either it's a request to Jaguar which I don't see being answered or if you just want UK figures then an anonymised data set from DVLA.
 
Hi SimpleR
Many thanks for the PM. Looks like I've got a good one.

Collecting Tuesday, with a busy week ahead. Shame it will look gorgeous for about an hour!

Looks really great... ... will be easy to find you with a traffic violation though.. :shock:

I am looking for a D5 to replace my D3.. this looks very impressive too.. ..love the colour.. ..named my cat 'orange' [..over 13yrs ago..].

I know, its Madagascar [Nahib?] orange, still orange..

But the wheels.. ..a bit too much for me.. I thought about the traffic violation and decided better not to buy this... :mrgreen:

Hi all
OK, so perhaps yesterday wasn't the best day to pick up a new sparkling clean motor! It was awful! Biblical rain and motorways were awash with grime etc.

Mortified to get back and find a multitude of stone chips on bonnet and O/S rear wheel. Not a happy chap!

But today, another 200-mile jaunt, in the dry.
Impressions?
It's quick, noisy and comfortable.
So, that's all OK then!

I did about 330K (not a typo!) miles in 2 x GT3s and then bought the XK-RS. I loved the noise and the ambiance of the XK, but missed the compactness of the GT3. That has re-emerged with the SVR. It wraps itself around you in a way that the XK didn't. And, isn't the satnav so much better!!

With much fiddling, the seat is now sorted, I've found a couple of radio stations, linked the iPhone and worked out how to get into vehicle settings!

The next 2 days see a longish jaunt across the country, which should be fun. This is growing on me faster than grass in the summer rain!

Oh, and the chips will get sorted

More later

Love this car, but do not like the little quirky fault that Jaguar cant seem to fix.
