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.)
I think your answer is in the question: It's PERSONALIZED. Meaning it's up to YOU, not everyone else. Doesn't mean you shouldn't post a poll - I'm not saying that. The final decision is YOURS.
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.
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
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.

In the 70's & '80s I was both driving and serving as a Scrutineer for the SCCA. I ran into both Tullius and Paul Newman a couple of times. Yes, both real gentlemen, and Newman was a regular guy and loved a beer just like the rest of us.
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.
Wow, you gol-durn whippersnappers! LOL...
That's awesome, way to inject new blood into the marque!
Me, I'm old but don't really feel it. Until the fourth day of a festival

I get your take on it. I prefer plates that are "invisible" in that you need to have some non-general-public information to get it. Explaining it would be part of the fun also, I think.
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.
Well for starters, i'm 28. And also a part of the crowd who would have never considered a Jaguar if it wasn't for the F-type existence.
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.
