Default Why I need to sell my F-Type

Because at the Greenwich Concours I fell in love with this 1952 Jaguar and pretty sure I have to sell my soul to get it



1952 Jaguar C-Type

Your soul might not be worth enough. There are a few websites that will give you (non-binding) estimates. In today's market mine is about $136,000. Not nearly enough for that C-Type. I need to shop around, and possibly do a little work on my soul so it presents better for sale. Apparently, more evil means more money, so I need to go kick some beggars.

@F-Typical a replica? Come on now! I would have been better off buying this at the auction (I was actually there trying to snag a 1967 Morgan but was outbid )



1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1

It is also possible to book a Tour independently.

Should you buy a Morgan, they're happy to help you keep it on the road.

Which is why at the Centenary Celebration a few years ago they managed to get over 3000 Morgan's on Cheltenham Racecourse.

This from a factory that makes 10 cars a week...

I'm guessing it would be pretty pricey to ship a car to the other side of the pond every time it needed service! haha... I just wish I won the auction, she really was a perty girl




1967 Morgan 4/4

Wife and I did a Morgan Factory Tour a few years ago. When we did the F-Type tour we were reminded of the Morgan Tour....very labour intensive,lots of hands on, but no robots in the Malverns.
We drove some Morgans, but I thought that the smaller engine ones were more fun....you didn't really need to change out of top gear in a Plus 8.. so much torque.
I had an MG TC in my younger days, the F-Type fits the bill now though, and I prefer Coupés.
