Default Just bought my first Jag and it's a V8S!

Hi all,

I registered a week or two back when I started looking at the F-Type. I did the deed today, and I'm the proud and happy owner of a new V8 S in British Racing Green with the brown interior! I came really close to buying an XK Coupe and also an XJ in the past, so third time's obviously a charm!

Really pleased with the car so far, it's just fabulous to drive and I can't see myself ever tiring of the exhaust note.

Looking forward to Jaguar ownership and being a part of the forum!

Steve

Congratulations on the new F-Type.

I hope you get a lot of enjoyment and no trouble with it.

Good Luck Steve. Would love to see pics of car and interior as I'm thinking of a Coupe in British Racing Green.

jleuz1, don't know if you've looked through the picture gallery, but I posted a few pix of a BRG V8S...

Steve, you're going to have a blast. My V6S is in winter storage, and I'm counting the days 'til I can drive it again.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys!

Jleuz1, my car is just like the one in the pics that DJS linked other than I have the darker brown interior. It looks spectacular in the sunlight.

Apologies for the cell phone pics but these might give you an idea of the BRG with the darker brown interior

They are the 20" Tornado wheel, Chris. I think they look really nice on the car. They are also available in black in addition to the silver finish I got with my car.
