Bargain of the year so far - and feel a lot happier being fully covered in a car that pricey!

Pickup this afternoon.

Andy....Need pics.

Okay, someone asked for the interior photos. I have tried my best but it hasn't done the car justice. Here we go...

Thanks Arianne. The red leather interior colour looks a lot better than it does on the Jag configurator.

Hi Roy,

It's actually very nice in reality. It's not a gory red but a pale colour which works well with the sporty nature of the car and body colour.

The configurable mood lighting is stunning at night but I am struggling to properly capture it on camera, with it being night time! But I will try again.

The quality of the cabin isn't up to the standard of Volvo's finest. The style is very different but it feel great and you are cocooned into the 18way electronically adjustable seats, sports car style not dissimilar to our Audi TT but more comfortable.

I love two-tone leather featuring oxblood.
(I do not like fat-arsed fake jeeps, but the big Jag looks good from the front)

And you certainly won't get that for your forthcoming SS, nice car though it is !!

Ha ha. I know. I expect them to be slid across the table in the style of a western saloon bar. To be fair I don't mind that. There should be a difference between a standard car and a premium car. That is what you pay for.

Hi Arianne,
Very nice car and I wish you many years of happy ownership.

A couple of questions please:

The SK reg used to be a Caithness one, when each county had their own.
The SK reg moved to Edinburgh and the North of Scotland were grouped under SY.
Do the Borders now come under Edinburgh?

Excellent photographs.
One thing I noticed and did not recall at the launch of the F-Pace in Inverness, is the gear lever missing, is everything controlled from the steering wheel?
Thank you.

tem.
