That's got to be serious structural damage for a 2017 model to end up at Silverlake? New dash fascia, airbag kit, bumper, side skirt, radiators, quick straightening on the chassis jig, and away you go...wonder why the insurance company didn't have it repaired?
 
Strange one isn’t it.
Bonnet alignment looks ok still - better than mine 🙄 - as does the tracking.
Also can’t see any headlight damage.
Wonder if he hit and ran over something.

…or are the potholes getting even worse?
 
Given the lack of damage to the upper bumper and bonnet, I'd be thinking it's either run over a lump of granite or launched and landed on something solid and immovable? Rear edge of passenger door looks to be close to the rear quarter panel, and the side skirt looks as though it's landed on something from the upward damage on its edge? Tailgate right lip looks to be lower than the rear quarter just above the tail light? Rippled/twisted monocoque? Struts pushed up the inner wings? Will we ever know what really happened...?
 
Looking at the position of the drivers seat, I'd say a youngsters taken their first flying lesson over a parapet wall !
No chance of any pocket money, ever!!!!!
 
Too clean for the usual ditch dives.
I’d say straight over a kerb/ traffic island or even a savage speed bump, given the wide front end damage, at low enough speed to not dent rims, but deploy the airbags. Beached midway down the car on the sill
Bet it sliced and destroyed a lot off the underside and probably bent monocoque, hence write off.
 
It was car 47926.

It was on a private plate at the time of the incident which I won't post as the previous owner now has that plate on an SVR. It wasn't recorded as stolen.

As the bonnet hasn't popped up I would presume the incident happened at a speed over 30mph+. The sill damage might just be from a fork lift picking it up. It doesn't look that bad so presume it is bent underneath. I did see a previous, non F-Type, that looked similar after hitting the back of a tail lift on a lorry.

There is a mileage discrepancy recorded.
Jaguar recorded the mileage on 9th July 2019 (the last time it was seen by them) as 31,978 miles.
The first MOT on 19th June 2020 was recorded as 22,179 miles.
