Ordered mine on the 21st of May, and mine was ready to be picked up on Monday (21st) last week. So pretty much three months - however I've chosen to wait until Friday to get the new plate.. Can't wait for Friday!!!

Oh and the F-Type is built at Castle Bromwich, not Browns Lane :) I went to go and see my car get built, but it's one of the perks of working for JLR product development ;)

I squeezed my order in on Christmas Eve 2015, was told around 3 months delivery but took 10 weeks. Was also told Jaguar are conservative on their delivery times in case the car has to go back from quality control for corrections. In a masochistic sort of way you might hope it takes longer and you get a car without faults?

Thanks Ian! I'll try not to post up too many pictures. Had a teaser video of the car sent to me by the dealer this afternoon, all polished and ready in the handover bay! Can't wait! Fingers crossed yours gets through the system quickly!

I did a mammoth 12 miles in her yesterday! But spent a lot of time fiddling with the in control, and generally taking the car in. I'm loving being able to see into the engine back through the bonnet louvres, to see the word "Supercharged". The little details! It's a pretty basic spec in terms of options, but I didn't really need anything else, so here she is. Sorry for the poor second and third pictures, sun was coming through and couldn't do anything about it.
