I went by the dealer a couple weeks ago and saw a Lunar Grey V8 (1st picture) and was not that impressed. Called today and went down for a test drive and there was a Lunar Grey V8 (rest of pictures) that really impressed me. It was actually the same car that the dealer had put black side vents on and accented the silver Cyclone wheels with black. I'm not sure about the silver F Type decals on the side. They might look better in black. Take a look.
The test drive really impressed me. WOW! I loved the 8 speed with sport mode shifting on the floor. I never have liked paddle shifting. I think the salesman was getting a bit nervous as I was going thru the gears getting on the on-ramp. The car was way more predictable getting loose than my 4.2 XKR, the power unbelievable, and the brakes were a lot better than my optional Alcons.
It is definitely the most fun car I have ever driven. If it had a bit more cargo area I would have taken it home.

Thanks for the pics!
The wheels on car #1 look immensely better, the ones on
car number too look like they belong on a new Volkswagen,
(GTI?) or maybe the Scion FR-S. That black/silver definitely
cheapens the look in my opinion. And those F-Type decals...
oh deary me. The V8 exhaust has to be an exhilarating sound!
The car sounds like a blast, I'd love to give one a drive. good
luck searching for an F-type!
