Seeing that photo, I really like the lines of the Coupe WITHOUT the Pano roof, however, being INSIDE the car, I would feel to confined without it.

Beautiful picture. Other than at the dealer I have yet to see more than 2 F-Types in the same day, let alone in the same parking lot!

I feel otherwise. I feel like the pano roof/carbon fiber roof kind of breaks up all the white or any other color.

I was just going to say exactly the same thing. I like the look of the coupe better w/o the pano roof.

I think the base also sits lower than the others. I noticed, when I switched out the same 18" Vela wheels and tires on my car for 20" Gyrodynes, that the 20s were close to an inch taller. I know the tire sidewalls are supposed to compensate for the difference, as a general rule, but wasn't the case for the combos JLR chose.

Tardis, I like how you took the time to blur out YOUR plate, but left the others in plain view. You're so self centered... (J/K)

I think those are JLR-owned cars. They appear to be manufacturer's plates, and the same plate number.

Interesting how the Base Coupe, especially in the first pic, gives the perception of being even wider. Nice.

Lol. Those are manufacturer plates. I just bought mine not too long ago and haven't received my plates yet. I'm rocking a Union Jack plate frame though.

Very nice!!!... I am waiting for the exact same car as yours, arriving in May (with pano roof) . I notice that you have the Vela rims, which I opted for. Can you post a side profile of your car? How's the ride (comfortable or jarring?)

Still think the BRG looks black. Wish JAG had gone with the classic BRG. I would have opted for an F-Type in that color.

LM--completely agree.

Gene--here's a picture of my car, although not a coupe, on the original Velas. I've since swapped them for 20" Gyrodynes.

Yep. The non-pano roof really gives an impression of a wider car. I love the pano roof from the inside but it does make the car appear more narrow on the outside (mainly on the light colored F-Types).

Yes, I think JLR missed the boat by not acknowledging the E-Type heritage with some of the older colours updated with metallic. A lot of the colours are just too dark for me. IMHO.

I actually prefer the non-metallic colors these days. In addition, those paints are much easier to touch up small rock chips and make more invisible. Despite having XPEL applied in the usual places, small stones have an uncanny ability to target the unprotected areas.

The BRG actually does pop. It looks little like the poor photos that keep getting posted. I'll have to post some of my own to give you guys a better perspective. It's a really great color that changes in the light and due to it being Xryallic it's something of a chameleon. In good light it's just stunning. In low light it's dark. That's the beauty of it. Someone posted pics of a Lotus in BRG the other day and that was nowhere near as good as the Jag BRG.

I noticed that and at first thought the angle made the picture distorted.

That first picture reaffirms my decision to go with the pano roof...SO glad I made that choice.

The only place I've seen a line up like this is at the dealers front line. Going to LA for a few days and expect to see more. There is more of everything on wheels in LA. Going to give grandson with learners permit a Jag driving lesson, expect to hear his friend gets his lessons in a Ferrari!
