I see more McLarens than F-Types in the DC area.

Funny you posted this. I’ve seen more F-Types in the past 2 weeks than I did prior...just today, saw 2 v8’s and 1 v6. Last weekend was another 3. Exclusivity is no longer in my part of town. Just surprised so many recently but not really considering they are so affordable.

I didn't see one F Type on the 1700 mile drive from Naples, FL to Portland, ME last month and it was an all daylight trip!

In the last five years I don't think I have seem more than five or six F-Types in the wild.

I saw 24 at a Jaguar "Beyond Limits" event at the Millbrook testing ground! No - 25, there was a display model in the showroom!

I saw a white convertible parked in a Waffle House parking lot last month. I stopped to see if it might have been one of my old cars, but no. However, it was driven by a nice looking girl so all was not lost.

I've seen maybe two 2021 models with the new design so far, and I occasionally see 2014-2017 examples (maybe 4 times a year) but I've literally never seen a 2018-2020 with the old-shape-but-new-design headlights.

I live in Northern Nevada, just over the hill from Lake Tahoe. I've had two F-Types since March 2017, an S convertible and now an S coupe. The surrounding area is mostly rural, but within a 75 mile range, population is over 300,000. The nearest JLR dealer is in Reno. This past week, I've seen 4 new Corvettes. Since 2017, I've seen a total of 4 F-Types in the area. My late brother and I took a 21-day, 4,500 mile trip to Texas and back in 2018. We didn't see another F-Type on the trip. Last time I looked, the total number of F-Types sold in the US through 2019 was fewer than 25,000. Chevy sells more Corvettes than that in a year. It's a pretty exclusive club.

I work quite often in Kuwait and have seen more there than I expected to. 4, 6, 8, coupe and convertible. I have not seen an SVR or Project 7, but did see a nice Project 8 though. Most of them are black or white, but did see one Firesand coupe.

Was it a vert? If it was with a temp plate that might have been me. There is a V6 Firesand convertible near me in Lincoln.

The black one may have been me.

I See more Lamborghinis around here than F-Types.

In the north Houston area, I see a few from time to time heading south towards downtown, including another today on the Grand Parkway. However, I can still count on one hand the number in the wild I have seen in the past six months. And I know that the manual is even more rare...

That said, the F-Type is still a more common sight on the road than others with a 124...

It's Location, Location & Location. The Bay Area F Type Owners Facebook page has 77 members and I'm sure that's a small percentage of all F Types around here. Last fall my wife and I went out to dinner with my son and his wife (he drove, so my F Type was in the garage) at the Blackhawk Plaza and I saw 5 F Types scattered around the parking lot so I am pretty sure they where not together. I regularly see F Types driving around these parts. Although there are more Tesla's than anything else?

Yes. Yes it does.
I was considering a Tesla before my F Type purchase. Still considering it, but in no rush.

I drive a black V6S vert around Auburn but seldom make it down to Sac except to the dealer. There are very few of us around the Sac area.

We've lived in rural central IL (between Peoria and Bloomington) for about 2 years, and I never expected to see another F-Type without leaving this immediate area. Imagine my surprise, when taking a short drive to get familiar with local roads, I came across another F-Type parked in a driveway about 2 miles away. Since that time, I've seen only 3 others on the road.
