Jaguar F Type

JLR are certainly on a design roll at the moment. The photos of the red F type that has been shown in the press makes it look a fantastic car, especially I think the rear has a lot more appeal than the Evoque's rear. Maybe Ian Macallum and Jerry McGovern should get together and one work on the front/ sides and the other should model the car's rear and sides! Not so sure about the V6's twin centre exhaust (maybe one call too close to the E Type) but the V8's quad offset exhausts look just the job

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Jaguar F Type

I like it, esp the rear, but the headlights growing up the wings trend is still there and not my favourite design...

Agree, I've also got a pet hate of headlights with an acute angle, where they just seem to fill a gap between two adjoining panels.

JLR are on a roll at the moment, it could have been so much different after 2008.

RE: Jaguar F Type

With prices rumoured to start the wrong side of £50k for the base model cabrio though, I think Jaguar might be being a bit greedy. OK so then they can make the Coupe cheaper, but I reckon they have been £10k over optimistic with their pricing.

RE: Jaguar F Type

Start at £58k for the base model, for anything decent add £10k and then at least £5k for a few goodiesVery Happy
