Default Does This Exist?

I have been looking for the longest time for an F-Type SVR in British Racing Green. I know you can create one on the website, however I have never seen one in the wild. I am very interested in purchasing a lightly used one if anyone knows of one for sale

Let's think about this. Most cars don't enter the used market until they are three years old. So F-Types MY 14-16, but the SVR was introduced in MY 16. 4,000 F's sold that year. How many SVRs out of that 4,000. My WAG is 300 tops. Out of that 300 how many are for sale used, another WAG 40. How many of that 40 are BRG 3 maybe. And that's presuming BRG was a choice. My experience is really choice F's don't even hit the showroom floor. A couple of phone calls to interested parties is all it takes.

I'm sure there is a member here with a BRG SVR and he explained that to get BRG was a special order which cost him some $7,000.
Which means his car may well be the only BRG SVR in all of north America!

Perhaps you should consider a Project 7 in BRG, as there are plenty of those for sale.

But what is the spread between an SVR and a P7. It must be enormous.

One can go nuts trying to find a needle in a haystack. Invest a reasonable amount of time and then either buy or not buy the something that strikes your fancy. Or just decide to drink you coffee, read the paper, and wait for lightening to strike.

Or buy an SVR and wrap it in the color you want.

Yep! OzXFR is correct. Here it is "The Unicorn" (but it's not for sale). It took me two years of fighting and several phone calls to the U.K. JLR to finally get them to paint my MY 2018 SVR BRG. It was not offered in 2018 so I paid a $10,000 premium for SVO to do it. The bright surround around the windows and grille and the flat bottom steering wheel were also custom features and were not otherwise available on 2018 SVR's...


Quite possibly the only 2018 BRG SVR in the world...

Thanks! The photo was actually taken at the British Car Dealer's British Car Show in Colorado Springs. I'm planning to go back again when they host the show in September...

Beatboy, I read all the brochures '14-'16 and decided on my choice. V8, AWD, BRG with the interior and other features I wanted. (This was before the SVR was introduced) Shopped nationwide, Found mine and had it shipped. Most fun Jaguar I have owned, this is the 11th, yet I am considering selling it, getting down to just one vehicle in our Senior years. PM me if you have interest or questions.

I got lucky I guess finding my 2016 BRG R Convertible less than 30 miles from home with 1800 miles on the clock. I'm not sure how rare of a beast it really is, but I love it. More people comment on the BRG than anything else. it's a stunning color on this car.
