New Jaguar F-Type P450 review. Why this is a half-price Aston V8 Vantage. 

Thanks Harry, you’ve persuaded me that a £70k car is a bargain...... your next challenge is to convince my wife!! 😆

I'm very much a Jag guy myself Harry so i totally agree, the F-Type is a very overlooked car. I've said for years Jaguar need to go back to racing, it's very much part of the brands DNA.

“We have lost mains power “ Harry: “ No problem, let’s make a video using my Dakar bikes!”

Glad Harry is pumping out top content every week in these horrid times. A good reason to be on RU-vid...

I gotta be honest, that Jag grabs my heart in a way that the Aston doesn't. But I don't have the wallet for either.

Nice British gentleman that does not address us as 'guy's' or Bro.

Harry is really the coolest, doesn't let a silly thing like electricity get in the way, just makes it right and continues along...BRILLANT👍👍

I feel Jaguar have struck an excellent balance with this car. For 99% of drivers this car offers more than sufficient performance and grunt to light up the rear tyres while keeping things within the bounds of most drivers abilities to control. It's also a good value proposition compared to its competitors.

I remain utterly convinced that this is one of the most iconic designs Jaguar ever came up with. I got close enough to fog the windshield a couple of months ago at the Jaguar heritage centre at Gaydon, and was blown away by the sheer beauty of the thing. I'd take one in a New York minute - make it bottle green with tan interior.......oh, and a moon roof, of course. Thanks.

For everything you do for British Automotive, God bless you Sir Harry.

I like the idea of catapulting pedestrians out of the way with bonnet airbags when they step into the road 👍

Finally a RU-vidr that doesn't get on my nerves. Plus. He really knows his stuff and has clear passion it. And he is seriously minted!

Ultra cool,A row of Dakar bikes for floodlamps!

I absolutely enjoy the no-nonsense, low drama aspect of Harry's videos. He is objective, eloquent, and extremely knowledgeable without being arrogant. The winning combination of quality, genuinely interesting content, and overall excellence breeds loyalty to this channel. Bravo, sir.

If my numbers came up, I'd be off to the Jag dealership rather than following all the lemmings going to BMW, Mer and Audi. The jags still have a heart and soul.

Whilst i'm very envious of your financial ability to seemingly be able to buy pretty much any car that takes your fancy,you do some of the most honest car reviews on You-Tube without any BS

What a great reviewer this guy is. I'm not massively interested in cars and certainly don't have the money for this sort of thing, so wouldn't normally watch, but I watched all of this. Excellent work.

Brilliant reviews, honest and straightforward, always a pleasure to watch. Kind of missing the classics and youngtimers recently, but the great style compensates, sort of. Thanks a lot for superb content.

Hi Harry. As a fellow F Type farmer, (18R coupe), I have to agree that the car is fabulous, smiles everytime I drive it. And not just from the old guy inside. Have to agree on looks of the 2021new car. Just not sure. If you are ever in Western Canada, swing by for a tour of our grain farm, and a drive in the F type. Or our 68 E type. Quite a sight when driven together.

The only gentleman I've subscribed to as far as car reviews goes. Thank you Harry.

I've been impressed with every Jaguar I've driven, including the F-Type. Their ride and handling are superb, and the F-Type looks great. I'd have this every time over the Aston Martin.

The bike lighting made it for me! So Harry, loved it.

Of all the reviewers online, this channel (Harry) is by far the best at explaining in layman’s terms the pros n cons of ownership. Thanks for the great content.

19.42, gives it some welly, opposite lock through the twisties, looks at the camera and with a smile says " it's still entertaining this car". Legend. Great video Harry, as always.

Thanks Harry another great video - your videos have really helped lift my spirit during the pandemic and I love your style of delivery as it's more 'mature' and objective than other RU-vid channels. As per Dan below I'm a Jag owner and love my XE - I'm the 3rd generation of my Family to run Jaguars, my XE feels special to drive very much like a sports car and not too far off the feeling of an F-Type - very underrated in my opinion. I love the classic styling and the seating position of the F-Type, so pleased that JLR have decided to continue with the AJ-V8 engine updated to reduce emissions and now built in-house as it's a real antidote to today's trend of downsizing and electrification, the undoubted saving in R&D over newer PU's has translated into offering the vehicle at a competitive price with very reasonable and fixed maintenance costs and less steep depreciation curve compared to an Aston Martin. Love your chickens getting a little cameo too :-)

I have the new F-Type R, with the 575 HP V8. This car is such a pleasure to drive... I love it so much.

Thanks Harry for plugging yourself into a great sound system. I have been enjoying your videos and many of them, once the drive starts, a lot of your important descriptions and information you are conveying gets lost in noise--and not good noise! Now we can hear the car, the road, and your voice conveying all the information. Another great bit of education in this one.

Thanks, Harry. I have learned so much from your videos. It's like a good friend telling you all about their new car.

That toughness aspect is definitely a missed opportunity. Our roads here in Northern California are, at times, appalling. It would be nice to know that you could drive something regularly with low profile 20's and not have to worry so much about bent wheels and suspension components. Excellent review, as always

That kerb strike test that Jaguars and Land Rovers go through is a legacy of their previous ownership by Ford as that has been a test Ford have used for decades.

Well done Harry. Always the best content on RU-vid. Cheers!

Love the video's Harry, honest, forthright and fun!!!

History repeats itself. I’m old enough to remember back to 1961 when the Ftype took the motoring world by storm, priced at just under £2,200. At that time the Aston Martin DB 4 was roughly twice the price, at just under £4,000. When I bought my current Ftype V6 5 years ago, I was coming from years of owning German sports cars, and remembering back to the bad old days of British Leyland, I was concerned about reliability. My Ftype is my daily driver and has covered 34,000 miles, and I’m pleased to report that so far absolutely nothing has gone wrong. Great review.

Something weirdly nostalgic about those first gen f type descriptions, and seeing this interior. The F type release was a big moment, nowadays there's too much being released and refreshed every few months

Absolutely love your presentations Harry. You got love across the pond.

Love your video's harry, i must say harry you are a very smooth and classy reviewer. Thank you.

Absolutely love this review!!! I am a XF girl and planning my 5 year upgrade to the F Type. Enriching experience right here! Cheers mate! New subbie

I'm not normally into sports cars, but this jag is a thing of beauty.

Great review as always Harry. Lovin your work 👍

Lighting was perfect Harry. Thank you. As was the video.

Love the F-type, first gen coupe V6 will be good enough for me

Excellent review. Looks like the best option. Looks like it will be a comfortable long distance GT, but will be a bit of fun when the mood takes you without the crazy price tag. A bit like the E-type when it came out, and it’s nearly as stunning to look at!

Really like the comparison shots when discussing the differences 👌🏼

By far the best auto reviewer on RU-vid. No fluff just a honest review.

A smile on Harry’s face says it all

Great review Harry, As it happens I drove the routes you use last week in a 7.5 Golf GTi - fabulous roads and a great test for any car. New F type is now on my wish list!

I admire your videos and car knowledge as I am an extreme enthusiast as well. I primarily enjoy the photography in these videos you share with the great detail etc. Cheer's H.L.

Great review thankyou! I absolutely love that design. Just beautiful.

Well my Sunday at work just went from crap to great new Harry’s Garage

Love the bikes standing behind the subject at 4:08 -- the wan light of the headlamps give the whole scene a 2001: A Space Odyssey "monolith on the moon" sort of vibe.

I love the homespun feel of your videos your Lordship. It gives them a genuine character and your casual off the cuff delivery is stupendously refreshing in an industry that's sounding duller and duller. I tried to watch Lovecars video on the M135i straight after and had to turn it off because it was so dull. "BMW goes fwd blah blah blah." Piss off, no one gives a toss. The difference in the approach and delivery was so marked I felt compelled to write to congratulate you. The joy in seeing the message that another Harry's Garage video has gone live is huge. I feel like a kid who's about to open a new present and it often comes across that is how you feel when driving a new car.

Thank you for a great video as always, Mr Metcalf. Happiness is when Harry’s Garage does a great piece on new Jag F-type; followed by Mr Tyrrell talking about wonderful V12 in an old Jag/Daimler.. AND Mr Hubnut finishing off a hatrick with an old Jag S-type.. all within a day or two of each other.. Ka-Ching..!

Just look at Her. You can tell in a glance it's not German. It makes me proud. When I see one I have to stop and walk around it to admire British styling. Great Vid xxx

Always a pleasure to watch a new Harry's Garage video. Excellent as usual, I knew Mr Metcalf wouldn't disappoint and he hasn't.

Excellent review Harry! As a lifelong Jag lover and owner, I couldn't agree more with your comment about their absence from motorsport. I long for their return to sportscar racing and LeMans. My wife and I travelled all over to watch the IMSA races and even some of the Group C events...it was simply the best of motorsport. I don't think they'll ever attain the respect they deserve until they return to the track. I also wish they'd never never cancelled the XK, it's one of the favorite cars in our 'quite' smaller garage!

Excellent evaluation/review! Thanks!

Love this car Harry.

Great video Harry. We have a 2018 340hp version and it’s been a great car. Looking forward to a 5,500 mile trip next month from Atlanta to California & back, out via Colorado and back via Texas. Lease is up in March and not sure there is a better value car to replace it. Shame the P450 isn’t offered here.

Harry your bikes are the best.. Love um as much as your videos.. Keep um coming A big thank you from up in Staffordshire. 🤜🤛

Thanks a lot Harry for your presentation of this cool piece of metal. Love every second! 👍😉🇩🇪🇬🇧

This P450 version is the perfect sweet spot.

Thanks Harry, I've been in the JLR family for 8 years or so, and from the day I started I've been asking why there's no proper motorsport campaign. I thought an XE could have been good in BTCC, F-Type in the various GT series... I was told by a director 'we won't race if we can't be guaranteed to win', which I guess is why there is a one make series for the I-Pace!

Always insightful and interesting Love the car

I LOVE ALL YOUR BEAUTIFUL VIDEOS AND RUSH TO SEE YOURS. THANK YOU AGAIN.

I honestly learnt something new when you mentioned about how Jags have the same wheel strike standard as Landrover! Maybe that really is why it has a bit of extra heft than we might expect. That or british aluminium is secretly steel lol

I love some of these cars you review and I can only hope that one day I'll have enough money saved up to be able to afford one of these. For now, I'll be zooming around in my 2007 Suzuki Swift. After I get its battery replaced, that is.

I think the lighting seemed even better!? Jag seems ace, excellent value. 👍🏻 Great vid, Harry. 👏🏻

That Project 8 in the background is sooooooooo B E A YOUTIFULLLLLLLL! Dream Car!

Still sounds great too, once the valves fully open up at least 👍

The rear end of the F-Type coupé hasn't aged a bit. It looks just as fantastic as the day it came out. I like the new front end as well (even though the "old" one still looks quite nice).

I like this Jag...... Another great video from Harry's garage.

I have to say, love your video, simply awesome. Many thanks for your effort. Much appreciated. fantastic!

The previous one was just more beautiful. It has soul and character, while the newer one is just more casual

That's a fantastic looking motor. And Harry says it drives great and the price is a bargain....

I was in a meeting in Fort Dunlop when the first F types rolled across the road to the store - they stopped the meeting in its tracks, this update looks great.....

Love that F-Type. If I could afford it I'd have one. Another good review, cheers.

This really is a lot of car for your money and represents excellent value, along with great quality!😍

It's a good Sunday to be this early.

yet another great video Harry :)

Really enjoyed that, another cracking video. Impossible to fast forward in case I miss something.

Sounds like a good deal. And the nice thing about forced induction is you could buy this less expensive version and get a software tune to get it to the power levels of the F-Type R

I think the older car looks the more modern! Love the sound of them :o)

Great car Harry good choice as usual. Thanks made my day.

Jaguar did a great job with the styling. I like the front end and the rear proportions still are spot on. I would definitely look at one of these if I had the money.

If I had the money I'd want the older version because it had a manual transmission option. This doesn't unfortunately. Even some of the new 992 911s have a manual option. Thanks.

Love your channel, Harry! Here in Michigan, USA, my wife and I have owned several Jag "grand tourers' -- 1989 XJS V-12 Coupe (sold and replaced with a too tiny Miata!), and we currently have in our stable a 2003 XK8 Convertible (16 yrs) and 2014 XK Coupe (5 yrs), along with several proper 4x4 vehicles for off-road adventures (down to just one at the moment). LOVE the looks of the F-Type; however, to me they feel like sitting in a cave with slits for windows, and they are rather stingy on luggage space -- more of a "go to the beach for the day" than a "weekend tourer"(?). Wife and I both like the parcel space that the back seats of the XK's provide, and the trunk space (especially in the XK8 Convertible) is fantastic for our road trips throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Oh, and we don't have those nasty "run flat" tires -- there is space beneath the floors of the trunks of each XK for a proper spare tire/wheel (albeit a "space saver"). Sure wish Jaguar would bring back a proper "GT". Your thoughts?

Harry’s videos make the lockdowns far more pleasurable. Shame we can’t rush off to the nearest Jag dealer to test drive this beauty.

Another cracking video, thanks 👍🏻

only Harry would light up his garage with motorbikes like that

Harry telling it as it is. Aston is not special enough to priced as high as it is.

That was such a great video, I had a Coventry Climax

Thank you for the Video Harry, and whoever was behind the camera. Maybe I need to look at F-Types again for my wishlist spreadsheet. There is one F-Type on there already, it has a Lister badge though, If I add them to the spreadsheet, they will still loose points for not having a manual box. That is one feature that would make them really appealing.

Honestly the Aston has become too Germanic in a sense it's a bit soulless to be Frank. The jag still pulls those heart strings for half the price. Sold!

I'd rather have the V6 anyways - I love the way it sounds and felt it had plenty of power to be a ton of fun on a good road

as always very informative and interesting. This is a higher level work, only a pity that the subtitles have disappeared

Harry your videos are always top quality! Please upload also on 1080p 60fps (generally 60fps is always better).

Pretty nice but I do prefer the older design and would go for an older F Type SVR personally.

The Dakar bike lighting is the coolest thing ive seen this year

'Velly tough as old boot' was the slogan for the Golf, I think to show that they were tougher than the Japanese cars back in the 70s - great slogan and great review!

Utterly gorgeous, that's my pension lump sum gone.
