Default How do you do? 🙂

Hi!

Just a brief 'Hello!' To introduce myself.
My name's Dan, I've recently purchased an MY14 XF R-SPORT in Italian Racing Red. I love the car, though I wish it had more toys like my mum's Portfolio, but that is the project I have in mind for mine.

​​​​I'm from South Wales, UK. smack dab between the two Severn bridges.

Anyway, enough about me, here's the car 🙂

Thanks Dan, yes, I was set on finding one with the black pack. I also decided it had to be either white or IRR, and with the 3.0ltr V6, but I boxed myself into a corner, and whilst really wanting the portfolio, I couldn't find one on my price range that wasn't either Cat rated, or been used to travel to the moon and back. So I when I saw this, I fell for it immediately. As is testament to my 4.5hr drive to Leeds to pick it up.
She's 3 previous owners, Jag certified used car, currently on 65k plus change.

Nice one, I decided the same for my XES... Black wheels and black pack were mandatory. If you want to go blacker, Jag does a gloss black rear leaper badge.. Listed for the F-pace, but it fits my car so maybe yours too 😉 They don't do a black XF badge but you can find those on ebay..

Sounds like you took your time and found the car for you. Nice work
