I too don’t understand how the blue isn’t more popular; speaking of is there any way to find out the breakdown of F-Types, I’m assuming mine has to be pretty uncommon. My dad has a ‘65 XKE roadster that needs a complete rebuild but if he never does it and allows me I think I’d have it painted in blue just like mine.

Really don't understand why that color is so unpopular, it might be a USA thing, but they are rarer than hens teeth - of the 1000+ new F-Types on cars.com, only 18 are Loire (dark sapphire) blue, so less than 2%!

Dark Blue Jaguars had great historical importance back in the late 1950's.

(BTW, update: Ecurie Ecosse seem to have removed merchandise from their website )

My $0.02 - these (not cheap but...) chrome bonnet louvers would look great on your car...(they are a JLR part).

That would add some nice contrast; my first modification was cheap; some Union Jack valve stem covers.
