Have you contacted Jaguar and given them your VIN?

No I will though.

 

When I got my 2005 STR the dealer gave me a print out with the factory build ticket plus all the work done on the car. Just be aware if the dealership does not enter the work it won't show.

In fact I have found other car makers will do the same thing. My wife's 2003 Lincoln LS was purchased used but Ford was able to give me the service history too.

You really can ask any dealer and they can print out full car spec details, even stuff you're never gonna understand! My local parts guy did it, free.
