This enticing Jaguar F-Type R comes to market having covered a modest and well below average 45, 879 miles to date. Complete with many expensive and desirable options this hugely capable sports coupe has been used and enjoyed by eight keepers to date. Offered without reserve this highly specified F-Type shows a Category S insurance marker from January 2019 and a Category N insurance marker from May 2022. Presenting today in a condition that is described as “excellent” throughout, this example is being sold complete with its distinctive personalised registration plate, partial service history and two, original keys.
The sublime Jaguar F-Type first hit the showrooms in convertible Roadster configuration with the tin-topped Coupe launching a few months later in March 2014. As such this alluring example of the range-topping F-Type R would have been one of the first examples of this exalted breed to emphatically turn the heads of passersby, being first registered in May 2014. Costing considerably over £90, 000 when new, courtesy of the addition of the £7, 000 carbon ceramic brake option and others to the £85, 000 list price, this R represents the apex-predator atop the F-Type food chain.
This example proudly exhibits all the attributes that put the R at the pinnacle of the range and that won the hearts and blew the minds of reviewers and owners alike. Chief amongst these, of course, is the 550 PS AJ-V8 Gen III 5. 0 litre power unit. Equipped in this application with a Twin Vortices Series supercharger, a veritable mountain of torque is also on tap almost from tick over, to the tune of 501 Ib-ft at 2, 000 rpm. Stiffer spring rates and a trick, more aggressive electrically controlled limited slip differential help this prodigious power to be effectively deployed at will.
This car’s state of the art carbon ceramic brakes not only provide almost physics defying retardation but also a respectful nod to the marque’s heritage. Jaguar, after all, were the first manufacturer to use disc brakes at the Le Mans 24 Hour Race of 1953. A fitting homage, then, that Jaguar described as “the most powerfully performing braking system ever fitted to a Jaguar road car” in 2014. With 398mm discs at the front and 380mm items at the rear sitting beneath six and four pot monobloc callipers respectively, this set up starts to look good value for its original £7, 000 cost. The signature vivid yellow of the big callipers contrast strikingly with the deep, pristine black of the optional 20-inch Storm alloy wheels. A staggered set of high specification Michelin Pilot Sport S tyres adorn the big wheels being date stamped from 2022 for the rears and 2024 for the fronts. The sleek, muscular aluminium and composite bodywork appears to present beautifully in its gleaming Polaris White livery.
This Jaguar’s cabin is by no means the junior partner to this heady specification, either. The cosseting cabin is finished with Jet leather with double needle stitching, and Jet hued carpets and headlining. The optional suedecoth steering wheel with carbon fibre centre console finisher features here, too. The sports focussed Performance seats feature the optional 14-way electrical adjustment, memory settings and variable heating. Padded and stitched “R” emblems adorn the integral headrests, of course. Should you want to drown out the awe-inspiring soundtrack of that supercharged V8, the optional and optimum, mighty 770 watt, 12 speaker Meridian Surround Sound system is more than equal to that task. Other refinements include satellite navigation, 8-speed ZF automatic transmission with alloy, Ignis shift paddles, reversing camera, blind spot detection, sports suspension with adaptive dynamics and switchable active sports exhaust to name a few.
Such was the F-Type’s advanced design that it remained in production, only having been lightly facelifted, until June of this year. Starting with the XJR racing cars of the 1980’s and first seen in road configuration in the XJR-S of 1988, the esteemed “R” suffix is reserved for only the fastest and most prestigious Jaguars. The F-Type R stands as a proud and worthy recipient of the fabled “R” suffix to this day.
In summary:
A range topping F-Type R offered without reserve
Well below average original mileage
Complete with numerous desirable options including carbon ceramic brakes
