BOUGHT AS A RETIREMENT GIFT. KEPT FOR YEARS. CORRIS GREY OVER RED. THIS ONE MEANT SOMETHING. OVERVIEW Every now and again, a car comes in that feels different before you even turn the key. Not because it is loud.Not because it is flashy.But because you can tell it has been owned with intention. This Jaguar F Type was purchased from a Jaguar main dealer as a retirement present. Not a quick decision. Not a temporary toy. A reward. A milestone. A car chosen to mark the end of one chapter and the start of another. That matters. Finished in Corrsis Grey, the colour suits the shape perfectly. It is understated, metallic, mature. It allows the long bonnet, low roofline and muscular rear haunches to speak for themselves. The F Type has always been one of the most beautifully proportioned modern sports cars, and in this shade it looks elegant and serious rather than shouty. Then you open the door. The red leather interior completely transforms the experience. It is rich, vibrant and full of character. Against the grey exterior it feels purposeful and classic. The seats remain tight and supportive, the leather still soft and properly cared for. There is no excessive creasing, no worn edges, no signs of careless use. It feels like a car that has been cherished rather than simply driven. With just 35,698 miles and only one previous owner before the gentleman who bought it as his retirement car, the story is clean and reassuring. Long term ownership. No bouncing between keepers. No patchy history. Just sensible mileage and consistent care. We have just serviced the car as part of our preparation, so it is fully up to date and ready to be enjoyed. Specification wise, this is exactly how you would want to use an F Type. Heated and cooled seats mean it is comfortable whether it is a summer evening drive or a crisp winter morning. The panoramic roof floods the cabin with light and adds a real sense of occasion every time you step inside. The reverse camera makes daily manoeuvring effortless, taking the edge off what is otherwise a focused sports car. It was not ordered bare. It was ordered properly. On the road, it feels everything a well kept F Type should. The engine fires cleanly and settles into a smooth, confident idle. Throttle response is sharp but progressive. As you build speed, the car feels tight and planted, not loose or tired. The steering is direct and reassuring, the chassis balanced and confidence inspiring. It feels connected without feeling harsh. There is no drivetrain slack. No hesitation. No unwanted vibration. Just a car that feels mechanically correct and properly maintained. When you cruise, it is refined and comfortable. When you press on, it comes alive in exactly the way Jaguar intended. That blend of theatre and composure is what made the F Type such a success when new, and this example still delivers it beautifully. Everything lines up. The colour combination.The ownership story
