F-Type Sports Car

Production started: 2013

The Jaguar F-TYPE is the first two-seater sports car produced by the company since the E-type, and it replaced the grand touring New XK and XKR models.

 

The F-TYPE was introduced in 2014 as an entirely new car using an aluminium structure with stylish two-seater convertible or coupe bodywork, with wide rectangular grille and vertical bi-xenon headlight treatment.

 

Mechanically the car is powered by a new 3.0 litre V6 supercharged petrol engine of 340 or 380bhp or a 5.0 litre V8 supercharged engine of 488, 550 or 575bhp, with an 8-speed transmission with paddle shift controls or the option of a 6-speed manual gearbox for the V6 models. The suspension is also new with adaptive damping and up to 25 different settings to adjust the ride and handling characteristics. Some models are equipped with an active differential, and all wheel drive.

 

All interiors have the latest infotainment system and driver aids to maximum performance and take advantage of the latest technological advancements.

Personal Details

  • Your personal details, including your full address, home, work and mobile phone numbers, and email address.
  • The full name, address, date of birth, duration of licence to drive, and 5-year claim and conviction record of the person who will be driving the vehicle(s).
  • Your membership number for the JEC
  • How many vehicles are in the household (you might qualify for multi-car insurance).

  • The make, model and year of the vehicle(s).
  • The current overall mileage of the vehicle(s).
  • The engine size and specification of the vehicle(s).
  • All modifications made to the vehicle(s), such as the installation of non-standard wheels, aftermarket electronic equipment, performance-enhancing parts, or cosmetic upgrades.
  • Any previous professional valuations of the vehicle(s).

  • Where the vehicle(s) is/are typically kept overnight (e.g. a garage).
  • The expected annual mileage of the vehicle(s).
  • What the vehicle(s) is/are typically used for.

Agreed values

We have a number of highly-qualified experts who can inspect your vehicle prior to purchase and provide you with a full written report. In addition to their complete understanding of the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of vehicle inspection, they have extensive experience with the Jaguar marque which perfectly equips them to identify the unique requirements of specific models and years, something that is particularly important for older cars.

The cost of an inspection begins at £100, with the final figure determined by the time needed and the distance the inspector is required to travel. We can guarantee that your inspection will be cheaper than an equivalent AA or RAC inspection.

This small upfront outlay could save you thousands in the long term.

To arrange an inspection simply call JEC Head Office on 0117 969 8186 and they will provide you with details of your nearest inspector.

Also from our club HQ in Bristol we can give you an official valuation for insurance purposes. Our valuations are accepted by all leading insurance brokers and Companies.

Simply call 0117 969 8186 for details

GETTING STARTED

Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club Insurance is designed specifically for members of the JEC. That’s why it covers JEC TrackSport events and offers cover for JEC Young Enthusiasts. Furthermore, the scheme recognises that members may have a combination of newer and more historic Jaguars and so the scheme caters for all, other individually or part of a multi-vehicle offering.

Club insurance doesn’t operate the way standard insurance does. While it does still take a vehicle’s mechanical characteristics into account, it also places a lot of emphasis on how the vehicle is used, cared for and maintained.

Club insurance also offers a host of benefits and products that you simply cannot get outside of membership of the JEC, such as member to member cover for example. This enables you to drive your friends Jaguars at regional meets, events and on tours with fully comprehensive cover and without the need to complete more paperwork or ring up and incur costs for adding named drivers.

This way, you’ll be comfortable knowing that you have a policy that fits your vehicle and your usage needs perfectly.
