Gooday! That will be a lovely car. Are you keeping the XE? I am lucky enough to have the F type as my daily driver and I get the XE whenever I can steal it from my wife - what an awesome car it is, but just quietly the F Type gets far more attention...

Welcome! I wouldn't be concerned about which model you have, there is a cross section of various owners here.

Congratulations! I have a base and I think it is a great car.

My wife and I enjoy many get-away weekend trips and local ice cream runs all summer long.

Welcome. I had to wait 7+ months after I ordered mine (waiting for the manual transmission). The pain of waiting goes away within a couple minutes of having the car.
