Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
A one owner from new F-Type that comes fitted with arguably the one-to-have engine; the awesome 3.0L V6 S.
The Jaguar F-Type was big news when launched in 2013, the F-Type was praised as being the sportiest Jaguar since the XJ220. And the eager press and public were not disappointed. As a genuine two-seater sports car, not only did the F-Type coupe and roadster undercut their rivals for the price but also filled a niche that slotted in-between the V8 market and the compact mainstream sports car. Visually taking more than a fair share of styling cues from the C-X16 concept car, it was available with two engine options, with this V6 S model being the most sought after version. A step up from the entry-level model, the Supercharged 375bhp V6 offers a pure aural orchestration thanks to the active exhaust system.
Obviously, being a Jaguar it wasn’t just about the engine, the build quality, the badge, choice of materials, practicality and the styling often vie for first place in pub conversations when one might discuss the best reason to buy an F-Type. Not convinced? The V6 S model has a power advantage of a period 911 Carrera cabriolet, and while it was considerably cheaper than the Porsche when new, it’s worth noting how much they would cost you to buy today.
Lauded as a genuine replacement for the classic E-Type, the F-Type doesn’t disappoint. This car was bought new by its current owner in 2013 and has just collected under 47,000 miles in its lifetime. The owner added over 3K worth of options which can be viewed in the paperwork section. Finished in a subtle grey with 19” wheels and wider sills, complete with discreet badging, this car comes with Jaguar service history and the promise of an intact reputation and talent that hasn’t been diminished by time.
The F-Type simply fulfils every need for the discerning petrolhead at a realistic budget.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hi David,
Can you answer a few queries for me on your car. I am very interested, but have a few questions.
1: In the pictures it shows some scratches on the drivers side front area near the wheel arch and onto the bumper lower vents. Can you tell me how this occurred and if it was a low speed impact.
2: in the service documents, it mentions a replacement radiator cowl, how did this come be replaced? it seems a little strange item as its in the engine bay, unless of course it was related to question 1?
3: Normally JLR vehicles are set up to be serviced yearly or if you hit the mileage limit. As yours is a good low mileage example I would expect it to be yearly servicing, but in the history file it shows no service carried out since 21/10/19. This means it is now overdue.
4: on the service that was carried out in 2019 I note it was the 72 month service and the invoice for this is not listed in the photo’s. Are you able to provide this?
5. When the vehicle reaches 6 years old Jaguar recommend that the certain components are changed due to age degradation these include the supercharger belt and serpentine belts. I think normally as part of the 72 month service. Please can you confirm if these have been completed.
Depending on your answers to these I am willing to put in a strong offer.
Many thanks,
Chris

Thanks

Hi. Already had recent higher offer. Car can be collected any time once acceptable offer made.
What do you want for the car ?
Hi. I have had recent offer close to £24k so happy to consider something close
in all the pics and videos the door handles are permanently sticking out when car is running, in motion or with key off etc. i assume there is a problem with the handles not retracting as they should do, but nothing is mentioned in the description of this fault.
makes me wonder is there is anything else has been missed as overall it appears to have not been very well looked after
Doors 100% no fault. They retract when car starts moving. It was stationary. clearly would already have known this as you seem very knowledgable.
David
Thanks for the reply
“Door locks working 100%. The car was stationary and will lock either when moving or when locking with remote key”
However when the car is being driven in the video the door handles are still sticking out which would indicate a fault. They should retract when it’s in motion. Also they should not stick out all the time its being videoed for the whole 10 mins. So your reply doesn’t seem
quite correct
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DOOR HANDLES
Can you show that the roof mechanism works and also have some photos/film of the interior?
Hi there. I will send in. Roof works 100%
Hi David,
A few questions from me:
(i) in respect to photo 96, is that rust on the bottom corner edge of the door? It’s hard to figure out but please confirm.
(ii) noted the battery is running low (presumably from lack of use) – has this ever been changed during your ownership?
(iii) is the service history all online or do you have a book for this? I’m asking as the the last service is missing from the printout in the photo.
Thanks!
Ash
Hi Ash
Yes battery low as car not being used. I can’t recall if I have had replaced before. Service history all on line except for Dec 2020 as serviced by local garage. I need to check pic 96, but not aware of any rust. Car was always garaged up to a year ago.
Hi there, sorry if I missed it, was it rust in picture 96?
