Description
History:
The Jaguar F‑type was first shown as a concept car in 2011 and entered production in 2013. Since the start of production, three engines have been offered: a V6 with 340 hp, the same twin‑charged engine with 380 hp, and a 5‑litre V8 with 495 hp. With a top speed of 275 km/ h and acceleration from 0–100 km/ h in 4. 9 seconds, and an average fuel consumption of 8. 9 litres of petrol per 100 kilometres, this beautiful convertible is more than just presentable. With only 64, 000 kilometres on the clock and a full service history, this F‑type is equipped with everything you need. It was acquired by the Goodtimer owner three years ago and served as a comfortable and reliable alternative to sporty classics as a summer car before passing to another car collector in the last season.
Body and paintwork:
The bodywork is completely undamaged and has only a few, barely visible stone chips. The paintwork in its original Premium Blue has been freshened and sealed with ceramic coating.
Interior:
The whole interior is very clean and tidy. Apart from the start button and the gearshift pedals, where the surface coating has worn a little, this specimen feels like new. The superb leather/ Alcantara seats are extremely comfortable and cosy, even in hot weather. The automatic climate control and the excellent audio system make long journeys a relaxing pleasure.
Engine and mechanics:
The 380S has been regularly serviced and maintained. Only 5, 000 kilometres have been driven since the last major service, during which the water pump was replaced. The whole technical system is fully functional and will be freshly inspected by the Swiss MOT (MFK) upon purchase. Remarkable is the switchable engine management and the exhaust system, which offers three settings from a gentle purr to a hiss.
Chassis:
The chassis and brakes are of the highest calibre. The coated 19‑inch alloy wheels in bronze, which harmonise with the paintwork, are noteworthy.
Driving experience:
The F‑type is a sports car with elegance and charm. And it is probably the most affordable sports roadster, sprinting to 100 km/ h in less than five seconds. You feel comfortable and safe in the cockpit. The power to the rear wheels is immediately controlled by the traction control system, which forgives the occasional driving error.
Recommendation:
The F‑type is probably the cheapest way to enjoy a genuine sports roadster in the premium segment. The F‑type 380S is also extremely reasonable in terms of maintenance costs. The breathtaking acoustics produced by both the engine and the audio system.
