It is not looking good here in Canada or the States for the F-Type. My Jaguar dealership has 10 vehicles signed up and ready to go out the door but due to the Oil crash and C-19 these sales are now on hold.. If you are a nerd like me look at the link where it shows the numbers in the US and Canada

FT’s are popular summer toys. F Pace and E Pace are popular here. Very rarely do you see an XJ

I’ve recently heard about an old airfield at a place called Bruntingthorpe which is housing approximately 50 000 LR cars, registered 2019 and 2020. Been there for months....
As an owner of 2 F Types, 400 Sport and an SVR, I’d be sad to see Jaguar stop production. With Jaguar’s heritage, I’d be more than a tad surprised if it did stop without a successor. Then again, I’d be highly interested in buying a J Type!

Sooooo....

a) Surely they wouldn’t miss the odd SVR?

...although it could mean half a day walking around pressing the remote button :D

b) @Blakums what’s your experience between the F-Type and Macca regarding quality, reliability, and customer service?

I think your numbers are a bit high. Cox Automotive which runs the site have capacity to store around 25,000 vehicles. They operate for many manufacturers
None of this is new though. Even back in the old days of BL they stored thousands of new cars for months

Not sure where you live, but I live in West Yorkshire and I must see 4 or 5 XEs on a daily basis. They are really popular around here. I can count at least 15 that I know of in my town alone and 2 F-Types (mine being one of them).

I see quite a lot of F-Paces and E-Paces too, and there's an I-Pace somewhere nearby that I see occasionally

That's where I got mine from - The car I wanted from the dealer was sold about 4 hours before I went to look at it, so the dealer said he would look in the group stock - 2 days later he emailed me the spec of the one I now own, it had been built for a fleet but never took delivery, so it sat at Bruntingthorpe for 6 months before I bought it. 150 miles on the clock, never registered, nearly 20k of upgrades, but had to be sold as "used", so I got a really good deal. If you look at Bruntingthorpe on Google maps, you can see thousands of cars stored there... Image

I was referring to the lack of XF's on the roads. I probably see more F types! Plenty of XE's around including our own XE R sport, so I can spot the difference between an XE and XF very easily.

Statistics worldwide are on the web by year and model. Biggest sellers by a long way are Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, which I don't think attract discount, so are a huge money spinner. Interestingly the LR Discovery is about the same volume as the XE.

The Ftype is definitely not a cash cow product, profit margins are very slim and development costs have only just been covered - this doesn't take into account the facelift car just released who's development costs will most likely not be recouped before it goes out of production.

If the Ftype survives the next 6 months in terms of JLR downsizing (evident from recent news articles and published performance figures) then I think we are looking at 2 years max before production stops

XE, XF, Ftype are all low volume & extremely low profitability cars, many sell at a loss - In the Jaguar line up they would be the first to go. Interesting times over the next few months with the car industry, I'm sure there will be a few good deals to be had for buyers and an incredibly tough time for manufacturers
