I've been trying to get my hands on a 2018+ V8 Autobiography with a light interior for years! Where did you get it from? What colour is that?
... and if it isn't too rude: approximately how many pounds? (so I can calibrate my expectations)

Lovely car: nice colour.Originally Posted by George05
Car is was an SVO , Colour is Odyssey / Metallica red interior is Cirico leather , Not ivory . These cars are driven sedately so the v6 suits me fine , Car is on a 16 reg . Your criteria is pie in the sky really as only 4 cars were made in V8 guise from 18 - and all were black . Dealer located in Midlands . Have you registered your interest with Jaguar ? I did . Also having a Family Member in SM with Jaguar helps . All i will say deposits taken car pick up on Thursday . I would not have taken a black or grey car , Price ? set your target at 40k +. Good Hunting
The 3 litre petrols are even rarer than the V8: I would have settled for anything petrol!

That is what prompted my quest: I bought a 2017 3.0D a month before lockdown hit in 2020: 53,000 oil changes and a new throttle body later I am desperate to swap for a petrol! (I think I have done more oil changes than tank refills - if not, it must be close!) The snag is that the family are spoilt now, so nothing less than an Autobiography will do, and I want Apple car play, so post-2018 is a must, too. I can live with black, as both of my X351s have been black (or nearly so, in the case of the Portfolio) - although I would prefer anything but! I'll just have to watch out for one of the four, I guess. I know where one is, and I am applying what pressure I can!Originally Posted by George05
Ps. They also do a Deisel version but avoid like Covid , Full of problems and not made for shortish trips .
