Jaguar F-Type 5.0 V8 S | Fully sorted | £11k factory options – was £91k new!

Ultimate Black F-Type 5.0 V8 S  |  Fully sorted  |  £11k Factory options – £27,995

The 5.0-litre F-Type V8 is quite simply one of the greats – an intoxicating modern British icon that is a huge event to be in and drive.  

Finding one with the money already spent in all the right areas is very important, and becoming increasingly difficult.  There will be cheaper examples out there – but this is a great opportunity to buy one with all the crucial F-Type areas addressed with a ‘no expense spared’ approach, so can simply be driven and enjoyed.

I have decided to advertise the car until the end of October.   After that, if the car is still unsold, I will most likely remove it from sale until the spring, and re-advertise, when I expect there will be more demand.   However, with its multi-layer soft top including the Thinsulate lining, plus heated seats and windscreen, it is a very comfortable and capable car for year-round use.  

Full details below – key points are:

• Massive specification with 26 factory fitted options totalling £11k – see photos for full list – this car was £91k when supplied new
• ‘Full fat’ V8 model – makes the proper noise, no restrictive particulate filter, original ECU software etc.
• Massive amount of engine-out preventive maintenance done during my ownership in 2026 by top Jaguar specialist – JLR alloy coolant pipes, new injectors, timing chains, supercharger service & rebuild, Dinitrol underside treatment, and lots, lots more (see below)
• Standard, unmodified engine, always warmed up correctly and never abused
• Full documented Jaguar & specialist history

Full description:

I’m meticulous with my cars and the plan was to keep this car for a long time, hence investing in it (see below), but sadly my wife’s redundancy means we can no longer justify keeping the car.   It has covered 59,000 miles.

It’s an extremely well maintained car in pristine condition, in Ultimate Black premium paint, with a very high specification comprising no less than 26 factory fitted options.  It was over £91k when new, with over £11k of extras including the wing-back Performance Seats with contrast red stitching, full Premium leather to doors & dashboard, Meridian Surround sound (770W), switchable Active Sports Exhaust, Heated windscreen, Flat bottomed steering wheel, Reversing cam, Heated seats, Configurable Dynamic-I, and lots more (see photo for full spec).  

On top of the condition and specification, what really makes this a standout example and separates it from others on the market is the maintenance history.  Aside from the impeccable service record, it has had £7k spent on engine-out preventative maintenance a few months ago at a top Jaguar specialist, including the following:

Injectors – replaced on cylinders 1-4 (other 4 already done)

Timing chains – new revised JLR timing chain kit fitted including new chains, guides and tensioners 

Cooling – Numerous parts replaced & upgraded including new aluminium Y pipes, water pump, upper & lower galleries, heater bridge, upgraded bleed off hose kit, and more.

Supercharger – inspected, checked & serviced by Powerhouse – new JLR coupler, rotor drive hub, case bearings re-greased, OE supercharger oil

Underside – full Dinitrol treatment to all areas as required.  New stainless rear strut brace, refurbished front A frame.

Other – Drains cleared in rear quarters and front scuttle.  New PCV valve.  New fuel return pipes.

As part of the above it has naturally had the major service items done – Fresh engine oil & filter, coolant, plus new belts and air-con re-gassed.

It has full documented Jaguar and specialist service history, including the original purchase invoice, plus 11 services recorded (all stamped & invoices present, including every MOT certificate).  On average, the oil has been changed every 5300 miles, often less, which is excellent for the longevity of this wonderful engine.
