Default Picked up my new F Type

Have picked up my new F-Type. Replaced my old Sapphire Blue 340 auto with new BRG 340 auto. It's had a short journey to the detailer, so won't see it again until it's polished and protected middle of next week.

New Navigation system is way better - instant response when moving around map. No longer get the annoying prompt to allow InControl on the iPhone. Seats have more space as they are thinner. Like the new front bumper with single air intakes and new LED headlights. Best of all - it's very familiar and still makes me smile!

Here's a dirty photo


BRG, 20" alloys

Will post some more photos when I get it back.

Just curious - why the change? What year to what year (2017?) ?

Old car was bought Nov 14 and I'd done 65k in it, so thought it best to swap before the warranty was out. New car is straight off the production line after a 3 month wait.

I'm glad to see they now offer the diamond cut Gyrodyne as an option on the V6 models. I had to buy takeoffs.

Awesome, beautiful. I am still trying to get my hands on mine. Today i got a call to tell me the truck with my car has not arrived yet.

I need to be so patient.

On a more serious note, congratulations. Gorgeous car, beautiful color, slick license plate!

Happy Motoring.

Beautiful car, wilky, but I am biased.

Love the brogue interior with BRG, though I don't think I've seen that in real life.

Fantastic motor brother.


My color of choice was BRG but here in the States, not many to be found. I bought a 2016 Rhodium Silver to give me that understated Bond type elegance.


But I must say, the spilt front air inlets, in the old Jags with 65kl miles are stunning.


Beautiful car man.
