New F type Jag

[safrane]

One pulled out next to where I was having lunch yesterday...brief sprint to the lights with a lovely bellow...but far too load with the crackles and pops on the run off as be slowed for the lights.

 

[dem maser]

they will be very good buys on second hand market

 

[Andyk]

Wonder if they will hold their value...AT first maybe but then it depends on how many they plan to make....

 

[safrane]

A few hundred thousand i would guess

 

[dem maser]

they said if it goes well an e type will be out........

 

[Andyk]

I'm looking forward to the Coupe version as the concept was drop down stunning...

 

[dem maser]

[Andyk]

Yes! Possibly prefer it. Plus... it has a usable boot.

[Andyk]

Agree Dem a thing of beauty....

Went to test drive a V8S today and it was really very good. Quite similar in character to my spyder but; smoother drivetrain, quicker gear changes, more gears (8) and a more refined interior. However, it wasn't much quicker than mine, it had a fair bit more wind buffet and a much smaller boot. Things have moved on a lot in the automotive world in the last 10 years but, hand on heart, I wouldn't swap one for mine. They had the new coupe in as well, it arrived this morning and it was the first one out to a dealer. Very nice indeed. The boot lid however, opens from the top not the side like the E Type. Otherwise it was just the same as the photos on the previous page. A great day out but the drives to and from the dealership were a lot more fun and more than a little outrageous!

I don't know about you guys but I just couldn't see myself driving a Jag by choice and paying with my own money!

Sure if you were given a freebee on a company scheme ok....where I live you'd have to drive it with a full face helmet complete with black visor..

Give me Italian elegance anytime!

Absolutely! However, in 3 years I reckon they will be down towards £30-35k and, for that, they would be fantastic value for money. I could see myself in one and if anything catastrophic happens to my spyder, you guys might see me in one too!

 

[alfatwo]

Dead on there Ben...so a three year old hi tech F type Jag Super Barge is worth less than a nice "Italian" 1969 Alfa 1750 GTV...

How things have come on!

There you go, rust isn't always a bad thing; it is in your car but not if it's in somebody else's!

 

[Andyk]

Sounds like a fun day Benny.....That Coupe is a stunner...

 

[BennyD]

It is, it's got an E Type look about it. The side opening tailgate would have been the icing on the cake. However, it does have a £450 electric self lowering soft-close option on the tailgate which is very neat. Apparently the coupe boot is twice as big as the rag-top's.

How were the acoustics, Benny?
