2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 AWD — Custom Build (Porsche Ruby Stone Red)
​The Ultimate Restomod F-Type: V6 to Supercharged V8 Conversion
​For sale is a truly one-of-a-kind, meticulously crafted 2014 Jaguar F-Type. This is not your average F-Type.
​Important Note on History & Status: To be completely clear, this car has never been in an accident. The original 3-liter V6 shell suffered a purely mechanical, non-structural engine failure due to water ingestion through the air filters. Because of the engine damage, it was categorized as an uneconomical repair (Category N — non-structural). However, it is no longer that same car or that same engine. It has undergone a complete, no-expense-spared transformation into an entirely different mechanical beast.
​Built By a Professional
​This car was constructed by a professional with over 20 years of experience building high-performance race cars, track cars, and sports cars. Having raced competitively in British GT, the Porsche Carrera Cup, and various other top-tier championships—alongside working with premier teams in top-flight British motor racing—I know exactly how a world-class car is engineered and how it should feel when pushed to the absolute limit. This machine is right up there with the top-tier competition cars I have driven in the past.
​The Build Story: Factory-Inspired Precision
​The Foundation: Started from a clean, non-structural shell stripped entirely down to bare metal.
​Factory Inspiration: Prior to the build, a special visit was made to the Jaguar factory while they were still actively producing the F-Type. Observing the production lines and consulting with a 50-year veteran factory guide ensured the mechanical execution matched factory-level precision.
​The Conversion: A donor 5-liter V8 All-Wheel Drive (AWD) F-Type was fully stripped to supply the heart and drivetrain of this machine, seamlessly upgrading the platform from a V6 RWD to a monstrous V8 AWD setup.
​Stunning Aesthetics, Aero & Custom Wheels
​Paintwork & Glass: The entire shell—including the engine bay, door shuts, and every hidden corner—has been fully resprayed in iconic Porsche Ruby Stone Red. This is a high-end, professional paint job (not a wrap), beautifully complemented by subtly tinted windows that give the car a sleek, menacing stance.
​Exterior & Lighting Upgrades: Upgraded with a rare, limited-edition F-Type 400 front bumper featuring the genuine Jaguar large front splitter, striking xenon headlights, and crisp daytime running LEDs. At the rear, it is fitted with a large carbon fiber rear wing imported directly from the USA, perfectly balancing aggressive track styling with high-speed downforce. To top it all off, it comes with a matching private number plate: SV14ZYY  (reading SV lazy).
​Interior & Amenities: Upgraded completely to a luxury SVR interior, offering top-tier sport seats, premium materials, an intuitive touch screen head unit featuring DAB radio, and ice-cold air conditioning for total cabin comfort.
​Bespoke Forged Wheels: Sits on a custom set of 21-inch bespoke forged alloy wheels finished in gloss black powder coat. Designed personally with Porsche-inspired styling, they feature a clever center-lock look under the cap while securely retaining the standard 5-stud pattern underneath. These are literal one-offs—there is not another set of these wheels in existence (though additional sets can be ordered through the factory if ever needed). They are wrapped in sticky, excellent-condition Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.
​Performance, Handling & Braking
​Supercharged V8 Power: The 5.0L V8 powerplant underwent thorough inspections, deep cleaning, and strategic performance enhancements:
​Upgraded upper and lower pulleys for increased PSI and boost.
​Upgraded heavy-duty supercharger belt.
​Upgraded large aluminum charge cooler.
​Upgraded high-flow charge cooler water pump to keep temperatures aggressively low under hard driving.
​Exhaust System: Fitted with a custom £6,000 full race exhaust system (supplied by Capristo). Crucially, this system is valved: with a flick of a button inside the cabin, you can quiet it down to be fully compliant with strict track day regulations, or open it up to let it roar with the thunderous sound of an American NASCAR.
​Braking System: Equipped with the high-performance Jaguar carbon ceramic brake package featuring striking yellow calipers (6-piston front and 4-piston rear). Given how good these are, it is near-on impossible for these brakes to fade—delivering immense, unwavering stopping power.
​On-Road & Track Dynamics: This is a true 200+ mph car that would be immense at the Nürburgring and is capable of putting a Porsche GT3 to shame. The all-wheel-drive handling offers effortless, mind-blowing grip and power delivery that you don’t have to fight—though its sheer acceleration is immense and truly takes your breath away.
​Summary
​If you are looking for a standard F-Type, keep scrolling. If you want a professional-grade, bespoke supercharged V8 AWD supercar built with decades of motorsport experience—featuring jaw-dropping Porsche Ruby Stone Red paint, an F-Type 400 limited edition front end with xenon and daytime LEDs, tinted glass, the appropriate "SVR" private plate, a US-imported carbon fiber rear wing, one-off 21-inch forged wheels, an SVR interior with DAB touch screen and ice-cold air conditioning, carbon ceramic brakes, a valved race exhaust, and performance that rivals dedicated race machinery—this is it.
