2014 JAGUAR F-TYPE V8 S

This Jaguar F-Type V8 S combines head-turning good looks with low mileage and an appealing specification. Powered by a 5.0-litre V8 producing 488bhp and 461lb-ft of torque, this F-Type features rear-wheel drive via an eight-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shift. The odometer shows only 10,204 miles from new.

First registered on 8 August 2014, there are four previous registered keepers on the log book. This F-Type has been cherished and enjoyed by the current vendor for just over a year, and is currently covered by an extended Jaguar warranty in place until July 2021.

Finished in the eye-catching shade of Italian Racing Red, the paint on this sports car is in excellent condition, with no fading or delamination present. The vendor reports a handful of minor stone chips which are present on the front end of the car, as well as a light scratch 4cm in length on the matt black sill under the passenger door.

Upon delivery to the first owner, the car benefited from a full ceramic coating, with underseal and rustproofing carried out a day later. The light lenses are clear and scratch-free, and both the gloss black trim and quad tail pipes present with a smart lustre. The electrically-operated black fabric roof is in as-new condition, fitting tightly to the window frame when closed.

This example is fitted with 20-inch 10-spoke black alloy wheels, which are in excellent condition with no damage to the faces or centre caps, and they are accented by red Jaguar-branded brake callipers.

The F-Type V8’s cabin is a handsome blend of style and luxury. The alluring Pimento Red sports seats are in very good condition, with only the slightest signs of wear to the driver’s outer bolster from entering and exiting the vehicle. The Ebony black interior trim is free of any signs of wear, testament to the exceptional care this car has received to date.

A number of desirable factory features are installed, including the heated steering wheel, keyless entry, heated seats, configurable dynamic settings, and an upgraded sound system. The vendor reports that there are no known electrical faults with the vehicle and that everything works as intended.

The most recent service was completed in March 2020 at 9,888 miles by main dealer Beadles in Sidcup. This was a minor service, with the engine oil, filter and drain plug replaced. In February 2019, a major service was undertaken at 8,747 miles, and prior to this it was serviced in May 2017 at 5,003 miles. A summary of servicing is included below.

The most recent MOT test was on 7 March 2020 at 9,888 miles. This, like all of the MOT tests the car has taken to date, was passed at the first time of trying with no advisories.

This elegant roadster wears matching Pirelli P Zero tyres all round, dated to 2014. These are in the correct fitment of 255/35/ZR20 front and 295/30/ZR20 rear, with the fronts showing approximately 6mm of tread remaining and the rears around 4mm.

Now ready for its next custodian, this F-Type has the full complement of original handbooks, stamped service history with some supporting historical invoices, as well as original tools and the tyre compressor. For further peace of mind, this F-Type also retains the balance of an extended Jaguar main dealer warranty until early July 2021.

This Jaguar F-Type V8 S is a well-maintained and handsomely specified example of a coveted contemporary British sports car. Presented in excellent condition and with low mileage, it would make a smart addition to any collection, and is ready for use on long-distance journeys and short B-road blasts alike.
