It's a pretty odd coincidence then that there are 175 serial numbers in that range thought, right? I'm not crazy.

 

Not crazy at all, but I'm sure it's coincidence. Everything I've been told about Jaguar VINs indicates that they just get allocated as each car build commences, in whatever order that happens, and VIN ranges are not 'reserved' for limited editions.

 

If the next VIN in the sequence after SAJWA4FC1BMB41255 was another 175 you would probably expect the VIN to be the same apart from the last digit. If you put that VIN in to Jaguar's Topix web site it comes back as invalid.

At least the next 10 do as well so I suspect they are different body shapes, emission specs or for different countries, etc, not 175's.

 

I just bought my R175 and its VIN ends in 41006. In case this helps anyone figure this out.

Thanks, Mike - yes, that helps confirm the 'randomness' of VIN allocation. With yours at 41006 and another at 41430, there's no way the 175s were allocated sequential VINs.
