From an artistic point of view and IMAO the choices you've listed are all too long. It's your car and call of course but I'm of the opinion that the shorter the better (and the less it "detracts" from the beauty of the car itself.) I know you didn't ask for that/my opinion so you have my apologies.
And I wish you luck. (And suggest you go with YOUR gut.)

Since I traded my 2012 Mini Cooper in on the F-Type, the dealer transferred my Mini tag to the Jag. I had planned to update to an apropos tag, but since this one is good for another 14 months.....
However; the more I look at it, the more I like the little bit of subtly.
It reads: MI M1N1
I still have 11 months to think about it.

Who are you people? Bob Tullius and his Group 44 team (including PL Newman: even you know who he is) were THE force to be reckoned with in SCCA racing during the latter half of the 20th century.
I worked as a very green rookie pit marshal for opening day at Road Atlanta in 1970(?). Group 44 was there in FORCE!. I walked around in awe, asking a bunch of dumb questions of this guy 'Tulius' who patiently answered me between trying to get ready for the race. A real gentleman. I ran into him again at an airshow years later and reminded him of the event. He graciously 'remembered' me, asked how I was, and chatted a while. Again, a true gentleman.

IMHO Vplates need to be unique and relevant to you or the car. I LOL when I see a car with a plate that says the exact same thing as the badge next to it. Or, it's so mumbled you think it's not a Vplate.
It's kind of like "if you have to explain the joke, it wasn't one"
I don't think anyone is going to get the Svr or svo plates
And, unless you were part of group 44, I think it's a poser plate. And you have to explain it.
So, mark me down for "none of the above".
Love the car tho! Congrats on the buy.

I guess I'm old because I remember them! But I mostly remember TRs, MGs(?) maybe even a Jensen-Healy? But I don't remember the Jags. Weird...

I'm 30, so I don't remember Group 44, but I love the story of Tullius and his American team racing British cars, and both the team and I are from Virginia, so there's that...
I'll probably just not get a plate though. Too indecisive for this sort of thing.

While I happen to know who Group 44 are, I am with Stohlen. Without F-type, Jaguar brand to me was a very unreliable car that you drive to a bingo games. In other words, a type of a car you want to pull up in if you intend to impress blue-haired ladies.
