The Notorious F-Type Roadster With a Unique Twist

The Story

Most of you may find this unusual or even a tad too much, though we really like this particular car and want to show it to you in the best way possible. Thus, when thought of selling our beloved Jaguar F Type Roadster we wanted to go the extra mile. So, instead of simply submitting an online add we have decided to dedicate this entire website to it.

One thing that we want to get clear from the get-go is that we really love driving our cars, so if you are looking for a garage queen that may not be the right one for you. That being said, it has only done 44,000 km and when it hasn’t been on the road we’ve kept it in a nice air-conditioned garage that you can see on the photos. It goes without saying that we have taken no risk when it comes to maintaining the car and it has been meticulously serviced and taken care of by a qualified mechanic in our own shop.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time with the F-Type Roadster and throughout our ownership, we have made sure to tastefully modify the car with a few unique touches. So let’s take you on a tour around the Jag and show you what’s been done. The very first thing we did was to update the front grille and headlights to the later 2019 model as we believe they refreshed the look and brought it up to date.

We then repainted the whole vehicle in the Velocity Blue which is one of the most premium colours that Jaguar offer and one that wasn’t available for the F-type when it was originally sold. It has really made the car pop, highlighting its elegant curves and aggressive edges.

To complement the rich blue exterior we have refinished the front spoiler, front and side air ducts as well as the rear diffuser in piano black lacquer. It adds a new depth to the exterior of the car and nicely matches the piano lacquer interior.

Shortly after we also fitted the carbon fibre pack that includes the side mirrors and the roll bars.

If you’ve ever been in an F Type you would know that the interior is a lovely place to sit in. But from the very beginning, we thought that there was something missing. It was only recently, however, that we made up our minds and decided to reupholster the seats and door cards with hand-stitched Alcantara.

The results were stunning. As you can see from the photos, this has completely transformed the Jag on the inside and made it even more luxurious.

So if you want a true sports car that makes every drive feel like an occasion this is the one for you. On long journeys, it is luxurious, quiet and easy to drive. Doesn’t matter how far you’re planning on going, it is going to chew up the miles in no time.

The moment you put your foot down, however, the F Type completely changes its nature. The shifts become more rapid, the throttle pedal more direct and that ungodly sounding V6 starts screaming in your ears. It truly is a special car.
