The surprising thing for me about this thread is that no one ( on a speed read) has suggeted an F type. I had one before the current toy and with one exception it was a brilliant true sports car. The one exception was the seat which at that time hasd a narrow centre and hard edges which did not go well with my motorbike injured hip.
You can now buy a 2 year old 550 bhp SVR version with a blown V8 for around £60k. And it is both a pretty car and reasonably economic to run.
Any views on why the F type is so ignored in general?
Like many of the current "sports cars" I consider them far too wide as an alternative to a Morgan in the role of B road blaster.
I predominantly use my convertible in the summer, top down and on non-motorway roads. I owned the predecessor of the F Type , an XKR, and while it was a fabulous thing the performance and physical size made it more of a GT car IMHO.
