Thanks again, Ftyperegistry! Well, I would have been searching and probably never found the 2019 coupe I was looking for... I wanted a Fuji white or ultra blue R-Dynamic manual... I see one Fuji white and the only ultra was a P340. Thanks - I'm happy with my firesand anyway!
I was curious about the % of 2016/2017 manuals shipped to the US that were either firesand or blackberry. Those seem to be the rarest.

Yes those are the two rarest colors. Super low numbers. I am missing some of the color data for 2016 and 2017 because Jaguar took the info away from Topix but for 2016 I can tell you there are around 10-15 Firesand Orange manuals and BlackBerry less than 10.
Yours is the last Firesand Orange manual made for 2016.

I will have to look it up but for S Coupe I m sure it's at least double that so 200+. It's about a 55/45 split between S and Base models. What I have noticed is that a large number of original owners of the 2016 S models have kept theirs so the sale listings reflect that. This is probably because these were owners that actually ordered them as opposed to the ones that bought dealer inventory which were mostly base models.

I figured the base/S split was 80/20 or so by sales numbers that I find. Thanks. So rough guess of 225 seem pretty safe so far. Crazy they are such rare cars, there’s 466 2016-2019 Jaguars on Autotrader right now and zero are a v6S stick shift.
Cars.com is usually the better site for finding manual F-Types. Usually around 4-10 at any given time.

The first F-type I drove was a 2014 Firesand V8S, in the spring of 2013, while I waited for my car to be delivered. My understanding is that Herb Chambers (billionaire owner of many New England dealerships) borrowed it for a while.
Maybe it’s your car.

Nope, you are quite right...the 2015/16 RWD's are so rare they don;t even figure on the list! ;-)

I collected the data as part of a past time during toilet time, down time at work, meetings etc. I will probably make it public once I clean it up and organize all of it a little better., maybe set up a website or hosted page for it somehow.

One of the questions I get asked the most is which F-Types are the rarest, lowest produced, manuals production numbers or sales figures and things along those lines. Well thanks to Coronavirus lockdowns I have been able to work on projects this year including one that I started years ago of trying to curate the lowest produced F-Type models. Please note these numbers are for US. For most of the models listed below I have numbers/figures for most countries as well.
So here are the rarest F-Types in the US:
Model Production Numbers
2016 Project 7 43 - Yes 43. I know some sources and even auctions say 50 Project 7 for US but that is incorrect. There were 50 allocated to North America. 43 for US, 7 for Canada
2018 Manual 44
2019 Manual 45 - 1 stayed in the UK, so only 44 2019 manuals in the US
2018 SVR 50 - 42 remain registered in US. The other 8 have been totaled or are unaccounted for.
2019 SVR 71
2020 SVR 90
2017 BDE 300
2017 Manual 323
2018 400 Sport 338 - Interesting fact. There were also 338 produced for the UK
2017 SVR 467
2016 Manual 579-600 - This is in a range because I know I am missing 1 or 2 batches of pre-production F-Types. I will edit this later when I get a final tally.

Right behind the 2014 V8S model.
For the US? 64 manual convertibles for 2017.
Only 3 manuals allocated there for 2018. And 7 for 2019.

My only advice to anyone reading this is if you have the manual -- think twice (or even three times) before selling it.
Yours was the only manual coupe in Canada for 2018. All were coupes in 2019. So that makes the manual 2018,2019 pool of coupes 8 including yours . Slightly higher odds if you were to look for one in the US. 88 manuals 2018-2019. 55 of them coupes.
Some flexibility is always required for almost any F-Type outside of the base models. It took me almost a year to find a good deal for my Automatic RWD 2016 F-Type S with the options I wanted it with; and even then I had to compromise a little since I could not find one with carbon fiber blade wheels.
