Hi
Looking at a car 2018 but hoping that it doesn't have the killjoy particulate filter.

Simple R could you kindly advise please ;)

Hi,

That is car 56227 and is an early MY19 used by Jaguar as a track day car for the first 2,956 miles (I believe).

V8 cars from 59207 have GPF (gasoline particle filter) and are recorded as 249g/km co2 and should be euro 6d on v5c.

This car is listed as 269g/km co2 so should be no GPF however as it was a Jaguar test car this could be wrong and would need a physical inspection to check.

EDIT - Please also check MOT history as it has multiple warnings for worn suspension and brake pads worn at low miles etc. I wonder why?
 
Simple R,
You have saved me from an expensive mistake,
Unsurprisingly I'm going to pass on the car in the light of your eye opening information.

You are invaluable Sir!
 
Auto 100 who are in Nottinghamshire.
It came up Saturday and I thought it had great spec.

Little did I know it's past life
 
Okay I have to ask... how the hell did you find out this was a track car, let alone find a picture of it on the track?!

Google has some amazing features for finding specific resources and viewing source code to find information that typically is not found by a normal search.

Here is another picture.

Are you at liberty to spill the beans on how this is done? I’ve tried using the Google advanced search using the VRN and it did find the car at CarSnitch but nowhere else, reverse image searching with a photo of the VRN which didn’t reveal anything, looking through website source code and nothing was revealed either…

I was eyeing-up the red V6 S that they had up for sale a few weeks ago, but after reading reviews about Auto100, I decided to steer well clear of them.

Seems like they have a knack for selling pretty cars with a lot of hidden issues :shock:

So for example put the reg into Google images with quotes IE "AB12 CDE" both with and without spaces.

To view data returned on a website but not displayed edit the URL and put view-source: in front of it.
 
To be fair to auto 100 as they are on trust pilot you get both good and bad reviews.
I doubt that they would have been able to know the svr I was looking at had been used by jaguar for track work. They said it was a of from a man who bought a range rover from them.
It was thanks to simple R on here doing such amazing detective work.
I think it had had 3 owners so no doubt none of them would have been any the wiser either.
It's a minefield buying a performance car :o
