Best to get a quote buddy, I get mates rates, but I'd suggest you should expect £250 - £400 depending on how many days machine polishing it needs.
Something went wrong, ordered a Mustang, yet ended up in a British hotrod, I blame OcUK!

I contemplated spacers, but I did not want to space them out too much, 5-8mm but the hub on the car don't have a big enough lip to support anything greater than a 3mm spacer and as I did not want to add anything past 10mm, dismissed it, would rather not mess with and in the flesh the wheels don't look lost to be honest, just some photo angles or depending how its parked can make it look a touch high, but in the flesh and when been driven it sits quite low, so just leaving it as Jaguar and SVO made a stunning looking car, don't need to mess with the styling.
Took another roadtrip this weekend of Wales with some buddies, did over 600 miles, incredible roads, even better wetter and we found a true gem of a beach, it was simply breathtaking. 
Very high res photo of the bay, I also did a few lengths swimming, crystal clear waters.
Fantastic trip.

Yes the first photos are, second beach which was like a paradise is Barafundle Bay, simply beautiful.
Custom to fit the front bar, I prefer it to the stock size.
I guess its a desired taste, for me I love it I never fail to smile and just as he is doing in the video I find myself doing the same, patting the throttle to cause explosions, particular in tunnels.
For me the SVR trumps any other car I drove for noise, why, well on acceleration it just roars, has a spitfire sound to it. On overrun it pops, crackles and explodes. On gear changes it farts, gurgles, burps or just goes bang, you never know what you will get. As mentioned in video only downside for e was no SC Whine and I absolutely love the sound of a supercharger, so I made a modification.
Finally it also has incredible SC whine too, well once modded, here is mine from a mod I did a few weeks back:
I did do a before video, but when I played it back there is literally zero SC whine at all, so did not even bother uploading it, I am just glad to finally hear that supercharger scream, it sounds glorious, will at some point get some flybe done so it can be heard passing under full throttle and will then lift for those glorious crackles.
Yep have heard the same, no regrets not getting a Mustang, the SVR is just so damn good, its really no contest.
That’s standard car
Seems I could be due some very nice appreciation, it is now pretty much confirmed that if you want a V8 F-Type you best get one quick, as the V8 will soon be no more and replaced with an Ingenium i6 twin turbo unit. No doubt very fast, very efficient but sorry there is no replacement sound wise compared to a supercharged V8 and the response won't be matched.
Shall be hanging onto my SVR with so few on UK roads and very few in the blue and full carbon specification I think its safe to say the prices will hopefully head back towards 100k, which would be nice. Hit 25,000 miles this week, absolutely loving the SVR still, what a road car it is.
I think “pretty much confirmed” is stretching a rumour too far
Love the enthusiasm for the car gibbo
Quite a solid rumour though, makes absolute sense Jaguar would want to use their own engines (more profit), more Jaguar and of course it seems to be the way every car manufacturer is going, turbo's.
Yeah love the car, its just such an occaison to drive and now with that glorious SC whine, I am stuck what to do next, probably not much at all, I may look at tuning it in the future, was looking at the Lister 666HP & 700lb/ft package but it is £10,000
Not lost a penny yet, judging by how quick Jaguar moved two SVR's last month (days) at 80k for a pair of SVR's with the carbon pack which says they sold them too cheap and they were orange, blue is slightly more desirable. Think people here were a bit judgemental on depreciation when it came to Jaguar, yeah normally their cars get hit like a rock, but as I did not buy brand new and got what I consider a good price for mine considering the specification (carbon wing, carbon pack, carbon roof, carbon interior and ultra blue) I think needless to say I could easily sell the car for 75-80k today and if the V8 is no more then as always with small number produced cars with big shouty engines, the values go up or certainly hold strong.
You only have to look online, there are no ultra blue with carbon wing, carbon pack for sale. There are a few without wings and the dealers can't give them away. An ultra blue with wing, full carbon pack was advertised privately for 80k, it was sold in under 12hr (I contacted owner), that same car a week later appeared at a Jaguar dealer for 86k (dealer purchased it) and within a week it was sold. They are a rare car in the right specification and will no doubt become quite collectable and as such they sell quite quickly.
When I purchased the car, I expected at 3yr old a worse case scenario of 50k value, many here screaming sub 40k, total BS I say, got a feeling it will be well north of 60k and could be closer to what I paid or around it. It would certainly be a nice bonus that is for sure should I ever come to sell it. There is only like 100 SVR coupes registered on the road, I suspect in ultra blue with carbon wings is even less and ones with carbon roof will be single digits, when it comes to rarity, value that all helps and the SVR is a very rare car by todays standards or turbochargers and lower emissions.
I just find the current assumption that every non-mainstream, slightly unique performance car, end of era, blah blah blah, is going to to be depreciation proof or make money is not going to last. It'll continue for as long as money is cheap but as soon as that changes I think we'll see the return of regular levels of crushing depreciation and everyone can get on with their lives and stop discussing values.
25,000 miles is good going, no one can argue it isn't getting used
I do use my cars.
Though my latest purchase will probably not get so much use.
The A6 was slow but worked, the new A10 is faster, makes the car a lot faster but is basically still a slush box, still not great in manual mode but now even worse in auto mode lots of people complaining about it getting confused and can be jerky.
Agreed the manual is the way to go on a Mustang, the new manual is even better too, though shame they made the ratio's longer, great for those who decide to add a blower though!
Various things with the intake system. I took the easy route and fitted a pair of cone filters.
Spotted on Project 8 prototype it was running cone filters and spotted ITG, so I gave ITG a call and asked if they had worked with SVO / Jaguar on P7 and P8, they confirmed and that they had a kit which was used in the prototype stages and was not an official item they list.
They sold me said kit for £245 and now we have glorious whine.
The wife has the A10 in her Mustang and we haven't seen any of these issues, from what we had read online before getting the car it was getting nothing but praise.
Seems it is excellent in the Camaro, but owners of Mustangs seem to have mixed feelings on it.
I bought a set of satin grey and sold the gloss blacks.
Hi there
As most know, I really love the SVR, as much as I'd love a GT3 or 570S I simply don't think they'd be as good for me, as in a daily, so instead of essentially selling the SVR and moving into a GT3 or 570S, another option has come up and I need some help with my man maths.
The figures are not down yet, but there is an SVR available, less than 100 miles on clock, 17 plate, its identical in specification to mine except it has ceramics, been a 17 plate it also has different headlights (need to check I like these) and it also has updated lighter and cooled seats. Also need to check it has carbon roof, as that could be a killer if its a glass roof on the deal, waiting on dealership to come back to me.
This car is listed at 86k, I am thinking if I can change into this car for no more cost than 10k, that gets me the slightly updated model, 25,000 less miles on a car that is about to be discontinued, am I fooling myself into thinking this is a good idea?
But like I say I am not sure if this other car has carbon roof, it has carbon pack, but no roof pictures, awaiting for dealer to confirm, lack of carbon roof could kill it for me as that makes my car quite unique, though probably not so important to others, many probably prefer glass roof. I think carbon saves around 5kg up top over the regular roof, compared to glass roof, the saving is probably bigger....

Yeah it has the carbon roof, found an advert on auto trader for it, where it is described better, if I've not been too slow, I shall probably go for it unless they really try to give me a stupid offer on mine.
I think I am fair to request 76k for mine and pay them 86k, 10k to change, because end of the day they will advertise mine for 79k I suspect and aim to make profit on that and of course they will be making profit on the 86k car too.
So as long as I've not been too slow, might take a trip up this weekend to check it over, make sure its not a lemon as I always wonder why a 17 plate car which is now like a year or so old seems to have only covered 60 miles, it must have been driven to a warehouse and then forgot about.....

I guess that is how quick blue ones sell, shame they leave things on their site which are no longer available, as its sold, they tried to offer me a white one, I was like if I am swapping it has to be same colour, no other colour will do.
Though I notice they have it listed as EX-Fleet, yet only 61 miles distance covered, so maybe a staff member crashed it, then it took a year to repair, does seem a bit odd.
A little like the orange ones that have been appearing on 65 plates and advertised as pre-production vehicles, which I guess were made to get all necessary approvals and testing, then sat for a couple of years before selling as one had 200 miles and the other 450 miles, they also sold very quickly.

Not too fussed, 10k in still in my pocket and of course the biggest worry with changing is, mine is a good one, a bloody fast one, be gutted to change and it all of a sudden runs like 11.5's instead of 11.1-11.2's.
I shall keep my eyes open as I am pretty much decided now on stick with SVR for forseeable future and as I feel if anything they will soon begin holding value which they are already doing so maybe appreciating it makes sense if I can grab one in blue, with carbon packs with very low miles, would be a good purchase for future values.
I simply find it impossible to find an all round better car really between 85-125k. Trust me I've been looking at GT3's, 570S and Vantage S V12 and they can all beat the SVR in some ways, but fall massively behind in others and I can't afford to have both.
My driveway already has 100k of cars on it and in a way I do have a great 100k garage, 4 pot, 6 pot, 8 pot, FWD, RWD and AWD.

So could not refuse this as the price was too good, grabbed a set of the alternative SVR forged wheels:
I am gonna wrap these with the Jaguar specific Michelin Cup 2 tyres:
https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-ty...4906?vehicule=32252&source=vehiculeSizeSearch
Shall be fitting these for dry track days and summer months.
Good to see Jaguar now approving Michelin Cups as well, my guess that is due to the Project 8?

Put the car on Litchfields dyno today, very happy with the result.
Shows pretty much what I feel on the road, this car has instant acceleration and pulls hard from as low as 1000rpm and that pull is maintained all the way to 6500rpm in a linear fashion.
Harry just dyno his Project 8 at Litchfields, incredible how the results are pretty much identical, though surprisingly I do have quite a lot more torque than his achieved.
Judging by my slightly improved quarter mile times since the cone filters I'd put my finger in the air and say they have probably given me another 6-7HP.

Hi there
Got the other set of wheels on today, am very happy with them, look so damn good, excuse how dirty the car is, the heavens have opened here.
Am keeping the other set also, shall throw some Michelin cups on those I think for track days and Pod days along with hot summer days.
