Brand new member here. Awaiting delivery of my 2017 F-type V6 S convertible. 18,000 miles. Bought it sight unseen from photos only. I’m wondering if anyone owns or has seen the color combo in the photo. How did it look in person? I think it looks great in the photos. Thanks for the input!

 

Congratulations on your F-Type! I've never seen that color in person and have actually only ever seen one other F-Type in my area, so I can't comment. But with such beautiful styling, I think you could paint it whatever color you wanted and it would still be gorgeous. I took mine to my parents a few days after purchase and my mom said "that's the most beautiful car I've ever seen".

 

pretty combo, congrats!

 

I am colorblind....and LOVE the combo Sir

 

Thanks for the input. Just a few more days and I’m hoping it will be love at first sight.

 

Excuse pls...what is the ext. color?

 

I did a 24 hour test drive on a white one with that color top thinking I would hate it. But....it person, it was different enough to be really cool.

 

The exterior is black, the top is a maroon color.I'll try to post a couple more photos to show the color better.

 

Did you not purchase it? Curious as to why not.

 

Gorgeous. My wife had a BMW M Roadster with the same exterior color combo and it looked incredible.

 

that interior color is terrific as well...I wish it was used more often.

 

I like the color combo

 

4 days post delivery it is now in my garage - it looks gorgeous in person. Really happy with it so far. Totally impressed by how much better and enjoyable the ride is compared to the Vette I traded in. I gave up a little speed / acceleration but this is plenty fast. No regrets with the trade - probably should have done it sooner. By the way, I have learned a lot from following this forum - thanks everyone.

 

Although the car, an ftype r, was immaculate, it had 67k miles. Just s bit too much for my tastes.

 

I hear you. I would have done the same. One of my criteria for purchase was sub 30,000 miles.

 

Jdwoody17- As someone who just sold my (the offer was just too good to pass up) 2009 Garage Queen convertible Vette with 9,600 miles and ordered a 2022 F-Type I'm gald to hear you mention the better ride of the F-Type. I can live with under 1/2 a second slower in the Jag. Enjoy yours as I will not likely see mine until July 2022

 

That’s exactly how I felt. My 2013 vette was also a garage queen. It was a beautiful car, the .60th anniversary edition 427. I figure it was about 1 sec faster 0-60 (3.7 vs 4.7) but who cares. As I’ve reached my 60th birthday this is no longer important to me. The jag has so much more class and refinement. Much better build quality and much more rare on the streets as older corvettes are now everywhere. The car just feels solid when you drive it. I’m sure you will experience the same once you get yours.
