Default A close look at Jaguars' color - Black Berry. Your thoughts?


I was thinking Ivory or Camel interior as opposed to red on this color.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a new color. The video is old and 2017s are out now.

They've had blackberry on the XF since at least 2013 which is when I bought mine.

I like it too but unfortunately this car is reflecting purple walls around it.

I looked at the book for the coupe and it's a premium color...

Perhaps only special order unless a dealership orders one. Ive looked at many FT's and have never seen one on a lot or for sale.

Your right, dealers going to steer clear of this color, much harder sell that the standard fare of Black, Silver or White. Unless customer ordered.

I bought my car off the lot and it's a 2016 F-Type R Coupe in Blackberry. It did sit for quite a long time before I bought it, but I think that has more to do with the overall price tag since it also has the suede interior and the carbon ceramic brakes. It definitely has purple flake in it (and my gf loves it) but it is not nearly that purple in real life as depicted in the first video.

Like the BRG, it is a very subtle color until it hits the bright lights (artificial or sunlight) and then really pops.

By any chance were you at The Great Britains in Willow Grove yesterday evening?

Yup, that would be me! I saw one or two other f-types show up and wondered if any were from the forum .

I was in the IRR got there about 6:30. A bit later Todd was going to introduce me to you but you had just left. Gorgeous car..the color and brakes pop! Maybe we'll pass each other on the road one day.

Ah, I saw you come in since I had originally wanted an IRR and always look at them. Appreciate the compliments. I was gonna test drive a F-Pace but the manager refused since they had already started serving alcohol so I said I'd stop in another time.

I'm sure we'll see each other around. It's not like they're easy to miss! My custom plate is a dead giveaway anyways (JAG RAWR).

I would have thought the solid Caldera red would have been a more accurate reflection of what an Italian (Ferrari) red is as opposed to being the metallic red.

Weird decision.

Thinking about it. I need to contact Smokem who is going to pass close by on rt 78 on his way.

Going to hellertown on June 12 for the British car show.

Sounds like a plan. Let me know. I will be down 287 and hopping on 78 for the entire ride until I get to 81 and getting off as Marko advised to meet the party at the Sunoco station. Once we finalize the meet up time which I'm hoping is close to 9ish will allow me to leave around the 6:15 timeframe.

I've parked next to rosso corsa Ferraris, and was surprised that they were more orange than my salsa red.
