So having enjoyed a V8 F Type for 3 years, I'm still drawn back to the fold. My V8V was an early 2005 and having only covered 32k was feeling tired.

I'm drawn to this https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...

So, does anyone know the car? Will this car feel significantly better than my old V8V?

Oddly I bought my first V8V from Hippo, maybe its a calling or too much gin 😁

That is a nice car but it seems to have a lot of seat bolster damage for only 15k miles🤔

Well spotted, I'd missed that.

I think this will feel very different to your old 4.3

Seat bolster damage is very common and could be repaired as part of the deal.

I'm currently working 5 miles from them so will go for a mooch on Friday afternoon. Thanks for the 8 month info too, always nice to be able to slip that comment in. I bought my first V8V from the same place and they were great.
