OVERVIEW “The exhaust note alone is enough to make you weep.”— Jeremy Clarkson, on the Jaguar F-Type R Some cars have presence.Some cars have performance.But the rare ones — the truly memorable ones — have character. We remember the first time this 2016 Jaguar F-Type R rolled into the unit. Engine ticking down after a long drive. Bodywork still warm from the sun. The Polaris White paint catching the light like porcelain. Before a word was spoken, we knew — this wasn’t your typical example. The shut lines, the original glass, the quiet whir of the fans winding down — it was clear this car had lived a good life. And deserved a better one next.

From day one, it was maintained to the highest standard — on schedule and with evidence. Serviced throughout by Jaguar main dealers and respected specialists, including Solihull, Milton Keynes, Derby, and Chichester, with stamped records and corresponding invoices. And most recently, it’s undergone a comprehensive service with The Vertex Collection, including oil, air filter, brake fluid, spark plugs, and full inspection, readying it for the next chapter of ownership.
