Well my F-Type V6S convertible has only been gone a few weeks and already missing it. I sold it to buy a coupe. Been trawling the usual online sites over the Xmas period and enquired\test drove a few cars, but none quite tick my very specific requirements, currently feels like finding a needle in a haystack. Perhaps someone on here is thinking of selling theirs.... worth a shot. It's more about the spec, history and condition for me. Looking for:

Facelift V6 R Dynamic 2017\2018 RWD
or
Pre-facelift 2016 V8S\R (must have updated entertainment system)
or
2017 Facelift V8R

Colours - Either Salsa or caldera red, a light grey, IRR or Firesand orange. Mileage ideally sub 30k with full dealer service history

Must have options:
Panoramic roof
Heated Performance Seats
Std deployable rear spoiler (Definitely no rear fixed spoiler\wing)
Must have gloss black pack (no colour coded side skirts\front splitter).
Gloss black window surround trim (not chrome)
Meridian or Surround Meridian sound system
20" wheels.

Nice to have options:
Heated steering wheel
Powered Bootlid
Keyless entry

Told you I was selective! But in absolutely no rush, so happy to wait for the right car. Willing to travel anywhere in the UK.

I've actually found one car which I'm interested in, just needs the standard seats swapped out for performance seats, which I'm looking into.
 
Whats your budget?

This ticks everything I think - but at a price

There is a also a full beans V8R RWD but missing a pano roof and obviously older entertainment system

But a nice car for someone.
 
Budget really depends on the car. But anywhere from £37k for a V6, to £47k for a facelift V8R with dealer warranty.

This is the one I'm considering, just need to see if I can find a set of facelift performance seats to retrofit.

I was too slow with this one - https://www.johnhollandsales.co.uk/stock-list/15512670-jaguar-f-type-3.0-v6-r-dynamic-auto-euro-6-s-s-2dr/
 
Forgot to add, this is the other one which ticks 98% of the boxes - https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202111229840602?fromSavedAds=true&advertising-location=at_cars

However, rather intriguingly, it's been on the market for over a year now (Nov 21) and MOT expired in Jan 22, so alarm bells are ringing. Looks like it needs two new rear tyres, probably new discs all round and quite possibly missed its annual service. It's not even cheap, might be worth an enquiry if they're desperate to get rid. Was just reduced by £2500, but needs another £3k off IMO. It's the second closest V8 to me (180 miles away).

I test drove the other Scottish V8 in Edinburgh last week but wrong spec and looked terrible underneath, worse than my MY14..

Two beautiful F-Types are currently being marketed on the Facebook F-Type Owners group. Won’t bore you with the spec as they are both black. One V6 & one V8. Both stunning coupes, well looked after & under 30k miles.

I’d consider posting your wish-list there. Also a UK only F-Type Owners group. Good luck with your search 👍
