New F-Type coupe!
We picked up our 2016 Italian Racing Red F-Type coupe on Thursday. Brogue leather, interior and exterior black packs, premium and vision packs, with climate pack and flat bottomed steering wheel.
The salesman was a Forum member, and another Forum member was at the dealership as well. Small world.
I'm retired, from BP, for almost 12 years. They did lure me back though, for a few months, to help out after the oil spill.
This is my first Jaguar, but I did own 3 MGBs, and a Daimler SP 250 (Dart), and lived almost 3 years outside of London, so I have been exposed to British cars.
I traded my 2000 C5 Corvette Coupe (third Vette) to get a 2012 Mazda Miata Power Hard Top for my wife, then ordered the Jag in August. It was built 11/2, but missed that day's ship, and had to wait 10 days for the next one. If you follow your car on the W&W web site, and see "Returned to Shipper", that probably means that there was no room on that ship, be patient.
The car has great looks, and I had to field questions at two stops on the first day of ownership.
Yes, there is brake dust all over the silver wheels, but it wipes off.

Welcome to the forum IRRBrogue,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
I can see you've already found your way to the F-Type tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
You can also visit the USA Southern MidWest Region forum by following this link US Southern MidWest: AR LA MS KY TN AL - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
