IXO has released their model 141280 in 1/43 Scale which represents a Jaguar F-Type V8 S Convertible in Firesand Orange. This diecast collectors' model is part of the 'Official' Dealer range from this manufacturer and is intended for the adult and discerning collector. Sadly not recommended or suitable as a toy for young children this is a freewheeling diecast model with no opening 'bones of contention' for where it's intended for [doors etc.] This particular Firesand Orange example is a rendition of the first production Jaguar F-Type S which I know very well having driven the real thing when only three of these existed on the planet. This opportunity arose through my line of work in Vehicle Ergonomics and Technology or 'fitting fat people into nice motors' [!] but I have only ever driven this car in Track Mode. What a memorable experience of a lovely motor and this model definitely captures the characteristic spirit of the F-Type S without a doubt being an impressive high performance vehicle. OK: I'm going to be a little biased in my opinion having actual knowledge of the subject of this model ... But even without that I would encourage and recommend this for Jaguar and Supercar fans alike. The modern motors collector would also enjoy having this model on display as it has wonderful looks and lines and the Firesand Orange colour is attractive as well - but this in my opinion helps capture the character of these cars to an excellent degree. As with one of my recent reviews I wish I could 'Eleven out of Ten' this model ... But even a Vehicle Ergonomics Specialist cannot design or 'magic' this into feasibility! But what I can hope is that shows my level of encouragement towards getting one of these - EXCELLENT Effort IXO! :o)Read full review
