My nipper works at the docks driving the cars on the boats, anything from Mini's to Rollers,

But the mainstay are Range Rovers and Jag's,mainly F Types,

The first thing the drivers do is press the sport button so you can imagine the noise from a convoy of maybe 10 V8 F Types

all in sport mode, Having to pass their boss's office on route they put the cars on normal mode having passed his office they are back in sport

again, It must sound like armageddon against the high sided building especially on the night shift,

That is precisely why he thinks i should buy one as a daily instead of a late Mach1 or Bullitt,

Did see a convertible up on a dealers stand at the NEC at the weekend in a great colour that i've never seen before ,it was like new and up for £34K,

Looked good value compared to most yanks , that money will only buy you a driver of a E Type needing a full restoration,

It was sold later in the afternoon and i'm not surprised.

My mates bought a V6 supercharged one and keeps telling me i should buy one but definitely not with a V6,

My only problem is how do i stop the car trying to turn into every golf course it pass's as i consider them more of a

tweedy golfers car than hot rodders, rolleyes

I think you would be very lucky to get a golf bag in that boot, already thinking about taking the parcel shelf out to get 2 small cases inbiggrin

I bought mine in 2016 and sold it 2 years later for almost what I paid for it, but I reckon I could have done that even if I'd kept it 7 years.

Did you find the same?

Although I did order mine in 2015 when the prices were announced. £33k for the V8, such a bargain.
Yes I'm happy with the price I got
