One of the best looking cars of late (not white though), had a nosey round them at the Jag dealers while my brother was sorting out a deal for a LWB XJ for the new board of directors car for his work.

There is usually a snag to this;

In 1975,for my 25th birthday :o: :cry: I was added to the insurance so that I could drive my mother's Alfa spyder...cover note read;
When Mr or Mrs Daimlerman senior are driving,an excess of £25 applies,when Daimlerman is in charge,an excess of £75 applies...
In 1975,my salary from a gratefull RAF was about £100 per month... :mad:

The V6 one looks and sounds pretty fruity

Here is the Jaguar UK one I saw in Canary Wharf a few weeks ago :-)

They are making a F type Coupe soon.
I thought the S version was pretty fast on Top Gear imagine what the R version is like!!!!
But why choose a F type convertible over the very very sexy XKR Convertible which is WOW. What's so different about the F Type over the XKR ?

Jaguar are doing a great job of shedding their East End gangster Phil Mitchell / old retired gent image and appealing to a younger target audience

When I went Goodwood FoS earlier in 2013 on the Supercar run of all the latest supercars by Poreche, Ferrari, Lambo, etc the only test drivers that went sideways in the corners with little run off except Armco and straw bales were the Jaguar test drivers or engineers !!!!

Barry, he said it's rapid enough for him and good on the corners.

Pony, Jag phoned him and asked him if he wanted a drive of it, he went down drove it for 20 mins and signed on the line :mad: Also think he likes having an E-type and F-type on the drive :)
