Christmas has come late for patriotic sports car buyers, with news that Jaguar is going to build an F-Type British Design Edition.
Yours in hard or soft-top body styles, the special model will have a choice of four paint colours including red, white and blue, a 375bhp V6 engine, the popular Exterior Sport Design Pack, upgraded brakes and edition-specific black leather seats with contrasting piping in the same Union Jack-derived colours as the paint.
There will be British Design Edition badges to the front and rear of the bodywork, as well as ‘unique branding’ on the headrests, tread plates and centre console trim.
The car will be automatic-only, and four-wheel drive will be standard. Top speed is reportedly 171mph, with the 0-60mph sprint devoured in 4.9 seconds.
