I think it looks pretty good on the car. Here is a link to the video:

Interesting, but I'd take BRG over that any day.

Hard to tell from the light, but it looked similar to the blue colour and I reckon that looks fantastic in the new shape.

Dark sapphire blue, while not a rare or limitted edition color, cannot be appreciated until one sees it in person in the light. I suspect that is the case with all of these complex colors - I am blown away by them in reality while being not so impressed by them in photographs......so go see the car(s) in person if possible. The dealer may have some samples or maybe the colors come in other JLR products.

This is something not often discussed - the paint on these cars is simply sublime/amazing/beautiful. I frankly prefer the JLR paint on the F-type to anything I have seen on Porsche, BMW, or MB, *(audi too). It is just incredible. The shape doesn't hurt either.

These new colors look amazing.


Good luck!

Yeah, my salesman is supposed to contact me when he has a LR come in with the colour on it, but with the videos and pics starting to circulate on the the Internet for this colour on an actual F-type I'm liking it quite a lot. Actually seeing it on the car has helped a lot. I definitely like the colour in low light, and a buddy sent me some pics of it in very high light, which I like a lot too actually. That's enough for me to know I quite like it. Pair this with the fact that it is exclusive to the final year of production, it's a bit more interesting than the greys and silvers I typically gravitate to, and I'm pretty much sold on it now.

It's got greys, blues, greens and pearl...That makes for a highly variable look based on sun exposure...Don't mind that...It'll be like getting a new car at different times throughout the day ;-)

If you haven't gathered this yet, I'm particularly interested in this colour...lol

In case others might be now, or moving forward, here's a few more. The variability of the colour still surprises me a bit:

Here is a review of one in Giola Green https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-rev...type-75-review

Note in a few places they have called it Gigolo Green by mistake, lol

I have to admit, it did cross my mind. A lot of these reviewers do this, and I always think, "Is that a chair?" lol

Are they that lazy they can't stand for a minute or 2? Geez Louise.

Well, as some of you may have gathered from other recent threads I just couldn’t do it. In my head I wanted to go with the Giola Green, but in reality I just wasn’t brave enough to do it without seeing the colour in person first (which proved to be near impossible where I’m located).

Just signed on the dotted line this morning for a 2024 F-type R allocation that finally came in after 8 or so months of waiting here in Canada.

Eiger grey, Mars Red and Ebony interior (extended leather option), standard exterior black pack, 1066 black wheels, black calipers, Meridian surround sound upgrade…That’s it I believe.

Still have to wait awhile to get it, but at least everything is set…I apparently can make spec changes until the first week of Sept but I do not intend to make any…I’ve tortured myself enough making the decision over the last many months already I think…One of the disadvantages of having too much time to decide ;-0

Appreciate all your thoughts in this original thread here

woot ;-0
