Afternoon everyone,
I am looking for a little help again. :roll: After a bad experience I will soon be no longer an F type owner, I want to ‘ get back in the saddle ‘ ASAP. I hoped to find out what car registrations are ex JLR management cars I know from experience (bad) KR from around 2022 are.
Is there a list anywhere I have searched the forum but it’s difficult to find the information.
I have had help from SimpleR in the past (much appreciated)
I now plan to find a F type that hasn’t come from the ex management source.
Any help on registration numbers to avoid would be much appreciated my search is around P450’s MY 22 and newer
 
Pre 2021
Jaguar cars, so press cars, magazine cars, test and prototype cars etc were "V" plates cars mainly VA and VE.
Paragon Fleet Solutions, now BCA, ran the fleet cars, so manager cars, demonstrators, event management such as Fen End and Sweden Ice Academy, which were "O" plates.

Obviously some exceptions, for example cars from Jaguar Oxford were "O" plates.

Post 2021
Same for "V" plates.
Everything seems to fall under "K" plate cars via C Walton at Bruntingthorpe.

To confirm, get the VIN and pop into online service history and see who PDI'ed it.

PDI check is good suggestion 👍🏼
 
Interesting thread as I'm starting my search for a P450 and being super geeky I have a spreadsheet to track prices, age, time on the market, spec, mileage etc etc.

5 our of the 6 cars I have my eye on are all 22 or 72 plate starting with K (KT, KS, KM, KW & KP). Almost all Eiger grey with virtually the same spec including wheel options etc.

From my last 20+ years of BMW ownership, I deliberately sought out "HQ registered" cars all starting with Y for Yorkshire (YC, YG, YH etc) as they were always top spec and never had any issues myself. However, F-Type is more likely to attract press cars etc.

What was the experience you had with the ex-Management car...?

Generally poor condition once you scratch under the surface all nicely prepared by dealer but once the glossy coating they apply wears off poor paint, over spray etc
What ever they do before it gets to dealers (either JLR or I suspect BCA auction) they don’t like refitting interior panels or carpets correctly and they certainly don’t like refitting trim clips and bolts
