Guys,

Good choice; sounds like it's going to be a very sharp car. Congrats.

Default Here's what's strange ....

I reside in Northern NJ approx 30 minutes from Manhattan . I am always on the lookout for the F Type, especially the R coupe. I travel in successful areas/communities in NJ, Mnhatten and also the weathy sections of Long Island and I do not see the F Type on the road, anywhere. What gives?

It's relatively rare and as well possibly more popular in areas that do not have much of a winter. Personally, I hope it stays relatively rare so I do not see as many on the road as Porsche or BMW etc. in the future.

I've only seen two others in the Boston area in the last 6 months: a white V6 coupe driving by and an ammonite R coupe parked in a garage.

I'd imagine more will start to surface in the Northeast around mid/late April...

On May 5 you will likely see a dozen or more headed through the Boston area on the way to Portland ME for the Lobster Run, including a project 7.....that should fill the first half of the year New England quota on sightings

Black pack sets that color off beautifully, particularly with any of the wheels that have black in them.

I pulled mine out of winter storage on Sat, so of course, we got 5" of snow Sunday night/Monday morning. Strangely, I saw a white vert Monday afternoon near work.


Put the top down on the way home yesterday, though it was only 50. Couldn't help myself.

I ordered my 2017 on January 25th. I'm told it will arrive in May.
