Default Deposit put down on a Project 8

Well folks, On Monday afternoon I placed my deposit on the upcoming Project 8.

There are only 3 cars destined for Canada and my dealer assures me, he has an allocation (hopefully he's correct).

Deliveries to start sometime in 2018.

The 8 will sit beside my 7.

Congratulations! You will be an owner of truly unique and amazing cars.

It would be amazing if you could provide some insights how the whole experience goes.

Are you planning on using it frequently?
NA version of XE should still be a relatively practical car to drive often

Wow... you have quite the garage of vehicles. One day for me I hope

I think you're very lucky to get hold of such a rare car. Maybe it won't depreciate as fast as other Jaguar models! Is there any sort of options on the car you could choose from?

Are all those cars your current fleet?

Do you have any say on color or additional options on the Project 8?

The process has just begun, and of course I will post as things move forward. The GM of the dealer has minimal info, he is only privy to what is in the press at this point.

I drive all my cars,but only a few hundred Km's per year.

I'm so jealous. I want your garage. And the orange would also be my choice. Cannot wait to see your pictures - seems like so long to wait.

+1! Its perfect.

HOOK 'EM !

Also find it cool you got the 4 seater...as everyone knows there are very few elite cars that can propel you and three adult friends at +200 Mph.
