I took delivery of my car today. I haven't driven it since I had it trucked to the paint protection shop for some XPEL Ultimate protection. Will drive it home tomorrow.
Interestingly the dealer who I ordered the car from had quite a lot of F-Types in stock including 2 R Coupes, 1 S Coupe and 1 Coupe.
I really LOVE my configuration. I nailed it with this selection and I think it is THE best configuration (although I am sure we all think that of our selections). The red full leather interior I think gives it a much more polished and premium feel than the duo-tone interiors - it reminds me of the Aston interior in fact with the two-tone leather dash. The contrast black stitching against the red leather is also really beautiful and I can't wait to see my fiancee's reaction to the interior.
It really is a sexy beast, and it was fascinating to see a crowd gather around the car when I parked it outside the Paint Protection Shop. I suspect such crowds will be gathering quite often.

Great choice! I would have gotten the red interior instead of the Duotone but with a red exterior I thought that was a little too much red. The red and white are stunning though.

Gorgeous car! They really all are gorgeous. Congratulations. I didn't see the "R" in the seats?

CONGRATULATIONS StealthPilot!
(Saying this car is gorgeous is like saying Julia Child can - or used to - cook. i.e. gross understatement. As I and others have said, including F-TypeRookie above, they're all gorgeous).
Best regards and drive it in good health,

Lovely jubbly but just my opinion, i would have changed the chrome bits on the outside so it matches the grill and the bonnet vents.
And yes, where's the embossed "R" in the headrest!!

Yes I am a bit disappointed about this too, but it seems the Red Full leather interior does not have the R logo on the seats. I have known this for some time since I considered buying a Silver/Red car off the lot when I first looked. In the end though to me this was a small sacrifice for the interior I wanted.Originally Posted by Timbo
