2012 JAGUAR F-TYPE V6 CONVERTIBLE

KEY FACTS

• Released as the spiritual successor to the iconic E-Type, the F-Type was unveiled in 2012, and this example is one of the Jaguar UK launch vehicles.
• Under the bonnet is a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine, producing 335bhp which is delivered to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift.
• This example is very highly specified, and its low mileage is supported by the service history.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The car is finished in the timeless shade of British Racing Green over a black leather interior, and black electrically powered convertible roof.
• The colour scheme is complemented by black 20-inch alloy wheels and the coordinating Black Pack, which features a gloss black finish in place of any brightwork, including front wing and bonnet vents, front bumper grill and surround, and even the background of the famous ‘leaping cat’ on the Jaguar badge.
• As a launch vehicle, it was specified with over £12,000 of options, which include the active sports exhaust, extended leather pack and upgraded Meridian surround-sound system.
• The car is unmodified and remains in its original factory specification.
• Accompanying the car are the original manuals and service books, spare wheel, jack and tools, warning triangle and two keys.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.

• The original black leather interior presents very well, with some minor wear to the seat bolsters and seat control switchgear.
• There are no known mechanical or electrical faults.
• The most recent MOT test was in August 2021 at 24,154 miles, when the car passed with no advisories following tyre replacements.
