With production of the F-Type set to end later this year, we reflect on its ten-year life by driving a special edition 75 across Spain.

Jaguar’s return to a manually-shifted six-cylinder two-seat coupe came late in the day, but the rare F-Type V6S is worth seeking out as we discovered.

Although Jaguar had come close to building a competition version of the F-Type not long after its 2012 debut, apparently working with the Williams F1 team to develop such a model, it never came to fruition. In early 2018 a genuine racer based on the car finally broke cover. But although it was built by Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) based in Ryton, having been developed for an independent team, Invictus Games Racing, it wasn’t the works effort many had been hoping for.

Although the changes between the F-Type 400 Sport and the standard V6 S were subtle, they were enough to make this limited-edition model look and feel significantly different. We’ve tracked down a rare example.

One man’s mission to make his Jaguar stand out from the crowd has seen this F-Type gain a subtle new identity.
