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!

Out of interest, where was it listed for sale?

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.
