Greetings,

I am a new member from Switzerland, who has been reading into some threads here recently and decided to join now. This forum seems like a great source of information, and the overall tone here very friendly. Since English is not my native language, please excuse any misspellings. I used to live in San Diego, CA for a year (17 years ago, though...) and travelled the United States often during holidays in the last twenty years, so I'm still somewhat fluent

My father used to own a XK8, followed by an XKR and two early XFs. Always had a soft spot for beautiful Jaguars, and right now I'm thinking about selling one of my coupes for an F-Type Roadster. As a matter of fact, I'm going to view an F-Type R this afternoon. That's the main reason I started reading into the experiences of other drivers here.

Let's see if the F-Type bug bites

Best regards from Switzerland,

James

Hello, James,
I wish you success in your search for the Puuurrrfect F-type roadster.
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Thank you all for the nice welcome

I had a great test drive in a 2017 R AWD model yesterday, it's a beautifully spec'd example in Eiger grey with a red convertible top (I like that!!), you hardly ever see another top color than black here. However, one wheel is curbed, tires are a tad older than I'd like, there's a strong smell of "scented tree" in the car which would need my attention (non-smoker, but apparently restaurant owner), and for the mileage the price seems a bit too high. Will see if a deal can be struck. If not, I'll have to wait as there currently is no other pre-loved example I'd fancy. While I can absolutely understand why people chose the color they do, I personally would not like my F-Type to be either white or black, and it seems that most are exactly in either of those colors here at the moment.

Much appreciated, thanks!

Will do so, thanks.

 

welcome to the forum - enjoy!!

 

Thank you all, very much.
