Default Tie down points for towing

I'm picking up a 2016 F Type R convertible Friday and will be towing it home on an open trailer. My question is where are the tie down points and does anyone have or know where I can get photos of the tie down points?

Thanks.

+1. Do not try to hook to any suspension member. The tow hooks can hold it fore and aft, but not laterally.

I got it figured out, thanks. Got the car home today with no issues. I used wheel straps.

It's a 2016 F Type R convertible in rhodium silver with jet/red stitch and jet top. Vision pack, black pack. gyrodyne wheels.

I'll post more pics when I get it detailed. This is the delivery photo. Bought at Jaguar Palm Beach.

The contrast between this and collection at my life cal dealership is pretty striking. I was fortunate it wasn't raining on the day, or I would have got wet...
