That's pretty funny. Thanks for the update. Hopefully the new owner doesn't freak out if he ever sees this thread.

 

That reply also reads like a fabricated story Like these guys remember these cars by their options and not by inputting the VIN... LOL

This dealer puts the bluff in Lake Bluff

This one just came up for sale. Shame it's another wingless one...

 

I’ve been reading with interest as wondered how many SVR there were globally. I currently own a July 16 UK SVR. I was wondering why no 2016 production year cars were included in your numbers. I know approx 95 were registered in the UK during 2016 with a split of MY16 and MY17.
Being from Warwickshire with several friends working across the JLR sites I could possibly ask for total numbers built but wouldn’t get VINs obviously.

 

The reason why there is no data for 2016 is because the SVR was introduced for the 2017 model year. A 2016 F-Type SVR does not exist. The year they were registered does not actually matter so you can't really go off of that to determine numbers. You could get an estimate but it will most likely be off by a couple hundred. Cars are usually built a year before their model year designation. For example normal production of 2017 SVRs went from early January 2016 until December 2016. Even though they were all built in 2016 the model year was 2017. Having said that, your car is a 2017 F-Type SVR that was sold/registered in 2016. Easy way to confirm is to look at your VIN. 2017 F-Type SVRs ended with HMKxxxxx

The total number for the global 2017-2020 F-Type SVR production run is 1878.
Would be interesting to see if you are able to get your friends at JLR to share how many F-Type SVRs they say were made. Only one member here has been successful in getting any production number data. It was only for the 2018 model year and it took him a long time and various requests to get the information.

 

The definitive answer to the MY is in the 10th digit of the VIN - MY16 is G, 2017 is H.

 

My VIN is ...HMK40.. so that will be MY17 then.

 

I did reply earlier but it seems it went into the ether 😁
So having spoken to my friend at JLR in Gaydon he was saying normal MY change is June which makes sense but often it’s late. As for numbers he is going to have a look at the systems to see. He thinks the engine forecast will be the easiest to get numbers from.

 

Mmm, I'm not convinced - my MY18 has a build date of 25 March 2017!

 

I have no reason to doubt him as his job is project managing new model years and special editions into production. His last project was the RR 50th Anniversary I believe. Admittedly he has been purely Land Rover platforms until his current project on the E-Pace. It’s entirely possible the F-Type is pre June but he stated new MY changeover is usually June. I don’t work there or know enough so don’t profess to know. 🤷‍♂️

 

I have no reason to doubt him. His job is project managing new model years and special editions into production. His last project was the RR 50th anniversary edition I believe. He could be wrong though as e stated usually June and he usually works on LR platforms although currently on a Jaguar new MY. I don’t profess to know myself. 🤷‍♂️

 

Correct. The change over usually occurs January-February on most years. Pre-production test runs for the upcoming year usually occur sparingly during August- December. They can range from runs of 15-30 cars at a time to as little as 1-3.

 

He does usually work on the Land Rover projects. He project manages the new model years to production. It’s possible Land Rover is on a different cycle.

 

Ftyperegistry,
man that is a lot of great work you have done on the full SVR list..

I have done a few searches, but found nothing good, do you know the US numbers for the 2015 Rs Seeing they were a one production run, be nice to know the numbers on them also.

 

Unfortunately I do not but yep I agree would be cool to have those numbers since they were only available in the US for 2015. My guess is around
1000-1200 based on percentage of listing I recall from back in 2015.
A while ago I also asked JaguarUSA about the production numbers for the 2015 F-Type R and of course they refused to provide the info.I used to track them on and off so I have a list of about 100 but nowhere near complete. I will get to it eventually, just got too much career related stuff going on right now. Stay tuned though.

 

Ftyperegistry,

So my friend checked model year change dates and so I have the exact dates also they gave me the forecast SVR production not actuals by fiscal year if this helps you. I will hopefully get the actuals for you in the upcoming days.

SVR as you said was introduced as a 17MY.
Job 1 intro 11th Jan 16
18MY
Job 1 intro 19th Dec 16
19MY
Job 1 intro 4th Jun 18
20MY
Job 1 intro 14th Jan 19
21MY
Job 1 intro 13th Jan 20

So forecast figures for Coupe and Cab combined by fiscal year were

15/16. 158
16/17. 792
17/18. 663
18/19. 485
19/20. 288

with a LHD/RHD split of 80/20

These are forecast not actuals though.

 

Hmm. Interesting.There was no 21 MY F-Type SVR. So are they tracking the 2021 F-Type R that way since it has the same engine as the SVR?

 

Ftyperegistry,

Quite possibly as he mentioned they were looking at block engines. I’ll clarify later. It 100% verifies your thoughts on MY changeover though with exact production dates.

 

Ftyperegistry,

Well I finally got the actual numbers for the SVR. I’m not sure how it compares to your data. Let me know

2017MY 919
2018MY 382
2019MY 330
2020MY 237
2021MY 806 (facelift F-Type R 575)
