What cars did you have before the F-type?

[WShudds]

This week, while parked outside a local hotel waiting for a company client from overseas who asked me if I'd take him for a short drive on the F-type, a fine gentleman probably in his 70s went around the car inspecting it carefully a few time before saying hello.

He said he was very intrigued and attracted to the car and started asking everything about the specs, etc. He then pointed to his fine Maserati GT V8 nearby and we engaged in a short chat about cars. He went on to tell me a rather impressive list of cars he had including an SKR, DB9, Vantage among other before the Maserati!

So I thought I'd start a thread here so members could list the cars they had before the F-type and what models theyo like to own in the future if anything.

Here's my list

1985 Ford Del Rey
1994 Fiat Uno
1999 GM Corsa
2001 Vauxhaul Corsa
2010 Vauxhaul Corsa
2012 Vauxhaul Meriva
2013 Hyundai ix35
2017 Hyundai Santa Fe (current)
2008 Audi TT

All manual transmission may I say

Cars I'd like to have in the future
Lamborghini Urus
Lotus Emira
911 Turbo S

In over 30 years of driving, this is the sum-total of my personal car ownership:

Vauxhall Viva
Triumph Dolomite
Peugeot 106 GTi
Nissan 200SX
Mazda 3
Jaguar F-Type

I've owned a few more as business cars, but those are the only ones I've owned 100% personally. I had the Nissan for 12 years from new.

Well I came from a Maserati GT V8 and you can tell the chap that has one that the F Type is a vastly superior car in every way! It is faster, corners better, rides better, better gearbox, better seats, better stereo, better climate the list goes on.......beautiful car though the Gransturismo...
