Default New Arrival....

Well, that didn't take as long as I thought... The latest addition to the car barn, having sold my 1966 4.2 E-Type 2+2 to pay for it, is a white F-Type S Coupe Manual, 2017. Found in Florida on Monday, wife went to test drive as she was only an hour and twenty away riding her horse in Ocala. Three hours later it was purchased. Picked up Wednesday arrived in Westchester, NY, next day...! $19,000 in options - red/black leather interior - design package & black package, high performance brake system, premium & vision package, etc, etc. Best of all upgraded 4th generation clutch and even has sports shifter... Very well looked after by PO who obviously knew what he/she wanted when he ordered this. And I was thinking it was going to take months to find the right stick shift with an interesting interior, and then do the clutch and shifter upgrades.
Loving it.
Oh.. If the PO wants his/her pens back I can mail them to Auburn Rotary Club, ME.

Awesome. I hope to find exactly what I am looking for too. Seems to be a lot of options in FL currently.

Well spotted. It is a manual shift thing. Armrest lowered to possibly allow better elbow room for shifting. Certainly helps. In my Audi S4 V8 Avant stick shift, I have to leave armrest raised all the time...

When you say sport shifter, do you mean the short shifter?

It's a great feeling isn't it!?!
Having just purchased my 2017 R two weeks ago, after 3 years of dreaming, I know how good it feels to find the "one"!
Enjoy!

Loving it so far. Snow & ice restricting travel for the next few days. Front parking sensors seem a bit tame. Not spotting curbs, not that I've hit one yet.
Stop/start plug will also have to be removed. Different one from XF I note.

Time for lower crank pulley and tune. They can tune out the start stop button.
