New F-Type Owner

[Bunny]

Recently acquired a 2015 F-Type 3.0L V6, to add to my Jaguar collection - 2005 XK8 4.2L V8 Convertible and my 1999 XJ8 3.2L V8. F-Type has only recorded 18,000 miles since new and is a peach!

Welcome Bunny! Are the red strips on the alloys Wheel Gators?

Welcome to the forum! Great to see another red P340 around here. I watched this video last night featuring this trim and it's quite good

David’s: sorry for the delay in replying. Haven’t been on the forum until today. The red stripes around the wheels are Rimblades. Buy direct from Rimblades for £55.00. Easy to fit yourself.

Looks a beauty! Congratulations. Those rim blades look great too

Hi I am also a new FType owner. I see you also have an Xk8. How does that compare with the F?

I had an XK8 back in 2007, then upgraded to a 2004 XKR in 2009, a 2010 XKR in 2013 and finally got the F-Type in 2018. Each one has been noticeably better as I progressed, even though the swap to F-Type was a "downsize" (shorter car and more economical despite more power, weirdly!). Only thing I miss with the F-Type is the lack of the rear "seats" - they were very handy for storage of coats, bags, etc. Everything else is far superior, IMO. None of my Jags ever let me down, though, so I've found them to be very reliable.

I get the feeling there’s a bot posting here….

Lovely colour. Very nice.

No comparison. The XK8 is a Grand Tourer, Comfortable and sedate compared to the F. The F-Type is an out and out sports car. A pocket rocket that feels all the pot holes but still puts a smile on my face

 

[Stavros Senna]

Very nice
