Rarest F-Type models by production numbers including manual transmisision
While your point is correct, data like this is always suspect because it doesn't also tell you how many available models/trim levels are offered in those colors. It's the chicken/egg thing. Dealers report black, white, silver as the best selling colors so the manufacturers make more of those and the dealers stock more of those. Then people go to the dealer and see what they want but only in one of those colors so they buy it (vast majority of dealer buyers buy off of inventory). And it repeats itself.

Hi Ftyperegistry. Great work on researching and sharing the manual F-Type's etc.!!
As owner (Toronto, Canada) of VIN ***28086, I can confirm my MY 2016 manual coupe (base, with various options, 340 hp) is indeed Ammonite Grey.
If I understand correctly, insofar as manual F-Type's in Canada:
2019 - 7
2018 - 1
2017 - ??
2016 - 6
Look forward to your confirmation.
Many thanks!!

Around 700? There were a lot for sale last year, maybe because they were the first V8 Ftypes to go out of warranty? Maybe I should feel lucky to have one!
I did factory order mine, and picked Satellite Gray. It would be the data for the '14 V8S OTS trim that interested me as I was told by the dealer about a month after I got the car that that that particular gray had been dropped from the option sheet for some reason. The only Fs I've seen in the wild in Indiana have been Black, White, or Red, which kind of supports Unhingd's national numbers model. Thanks, cjp

Those colors along with Ammonite Grey/Corris Grey are the most popular for almost all trims. Followed closely by British Racing Green. Except for F-Type SVRs and Project 7s, which are on the opposite sides of the spectrum. A little More than half of all Project 7s are BRG. On the other hand for SVRs very hard to find one in BRG. For example out of the entire run of 678 US SVRs only 10 are BRG.

Last time I was in for service the manager told me that there were "only about 100" manuals in Canada - I didn't believe him! Thought that number was way too low.

I'm a new owner of a 17 Coupe S Manual. H8 K40121.
64 manual convertibles in the US for 2017. I don't recall the base/s info off the top of my head. But Base/S for 2016 was like a 60/40 split.

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 didn't order mine but the color combination suggests that SOMEONE had ordered it and then declined delivery. I acquired it as a never-titled vehicle from a Louisiana dealership in late 2017. Still the original owner but about to kill the warranty...miles before age. What can I say...it begs to be driven.
