310 mile 2016 Firesand SVR

[Jimbo095]

Just wondered what people's thoughts are on this car? It was a static demo so presumably on display somewhere, been assured it wasn't some track demo car! So, 310 miles, a car 'sold' in Feb 2016 car but only registered with DVLA in November 2017, I've never come across that scenario before. Two years approved used warranty and essentially a new car, albeit a 2017MY up for £76,990. I was sure I wanted a 2018MY but bailed on the caldera as wasn't sure on the colour or mileage, this is a different proposition for similar money... Thanks to jimbobc for pointing it out, it certainly catches the eye in that colour and spec, circa £132,000 going by Topix spec sheet...

65 plate ?

JLR pre-production car

Ask to see the V5 and look at the notes section on the bottom of the front page.

I would inspect it VERY carefully ... it’s probably been pulled apart and put back together about 4 times over

I personally don't reckon it's pre production as would they sell it? But agree I am sure Jlr can tell you all the history. On the face of it a great buy.

Could you elaborate on exactly what you mean, not familiar with the pre production implications? What exactly would I be looking for on the notes, thanks in advance..

It is and they do

I bought one. 63 plate R coupe ... customer production started on 14 plate.

The car was built in 2016 but was registered in 2017 but it must have a age related plate.

The V5 will tell you that it had manual Type approval as it was pre-production

Pre-production means the car is built before Job 1. Job 1 is when the production line start rolling.

Given the mileage, it must have been used as a static car ... perhaps display around the world, but equally could have been used for technical purposes to perfect production methods

Oh ok, interesting. Any issues or regrets?!
Will enquiry on V5 tomorrow, any significant implications/concerns in buying a pre production?
