2017 Jaguar F-Type S400 AWD

If you’re looking for an F-Type, you won’t want to overlook this stunner of a car. With almost every box ticked on the options sheet, you have a serious GT car missile here, with all of the creature comforts you could imagine from a top end Range Rover. But is the S400 just a badge? Does it perform any different to the standard V6 F Type? You bet it does. Hit the start button and its intentions are clear. With 20hp more than the standard car, the front splitter, wider skirts, bigger wheels and the badging and details it sure looks the part, but drive off and the characteristics and spec upgrades swiftly make themselves known too…

 

An LSD, bigger brakes and Jaguar’s dynamic mode changes mean that you can really turn this F Type from the motorway cruiser into a much more adept B-road blaster than the others, it is noticeably punchier than the standard V6 in a straight line, but the corners are where it really excels, what a car. So, it isn’t all show and no go. Clarkson thinks the V6 is the sweet spot, having used one on his last Grand Tour – he liked it so much, he bought one when he got home. This one is like that, but just with added capability.

 

With the ultimate stealthy spec from the factory, all of the big boxes ticked, panoramic roof, heated seats, screen and even the S400 AWD number plate included in the sale, we think you’ll be hard pushed to find a better example anywhere, especially as we have known and looked after this car for the last 3 years, so we know it wants and needs for nothing at all, it’s rare, special and understated all in one. Useable, reliable, smooth and refined, but when awoken, it’s a true British sports car.

The F-Type is a prestige car even in standard trim, but this car has had everything possible thrown at it on the options list, so on top of the factory spec, below is a list of the highlights this car has:

 

• 12 Way adjustable electric performance seats
• All wheel drive
• Rear limited slip differential
• Bigger brakes
• Front and rear parking sensors & reverse camera
• Morzine Alcantara headlining
• Auto dimming mirror
• Keyless entry and push button start
• Heated front screen
• Infrared reflective screen
• Meridian sound system
• Aluminium paddle shift levers
• Powered tailgate
• Sport steering wheel
• Switchable active exhaust
• Yellow stitching

 

Having had a great spec, the car has also been looked after incredibly well too, with all services only having been carried out by Jaguar main dealers, or by ourselves for the last 3 years. The car is supplied with a ring binder full of all of its history, the original book pack and the handover pack from Jaguar when sold to its second owner too, so it isn’t missing a thing!

 

The car has had 7 oil changes in its life already, with all of the ancillaries carried out to Jaguar’s schedule, you have peace of mind that the car is in the best shape, having had front brake pads & discs, transfer case oil, brake fluid, rear tyres, pollen filter, 2 Michelin PS4S rear tyres and two oil services just since 2023. So, you’ll be hard pushed to find a better example anywhere.

 

With only 204 All wheel drive versions of this car ever being manufactured, and 440 in total (including the RWD cars), this is a rare opportunity to buy a very special, eminently useable and potentially one of the last real Jaguar cars! Supplied with the S400 AWD number plate, it adds the ideal finishing touch to the perfect spec!
