Sounds like they have gone over something and broken it, did a dodgy temporary repair and just forgot to do a proper fix.

Hi, um...... To confirm yours is the red SVR ending "VOO" and is car "67967" (last 5 digits of VIN in the window).
I have some history for you. I cannot confirm it is 100% correct but looks like your car as it shows the reg! I hope it isn't though.
Would you like it posting here? Or privately on PM?

Im mpressed SimpleR.... excellent detective work, which I hope will add ammunition for Hazbean to confront the dealer.

I'm under a strict NDA with Hazbean after sharing info and having a chat!
I'm sure he will post back with a suitable update once all sorted.

Just a quick update, many thanks to SimpleR for his excellent research, I couldn’t have found all the information without his help.
The dealer has offered me an extra years warranty on the car and has also offered to send up the missing parts to me to be fitted by a dealer at their expense.
The dealer still has not got an answer as to why the diff guard has been fastened by 4 zip ties but admits it was “demonstrated” as a press car on the ice in Sweden but not raced!
I do have pictures of several red F types all at the same ice driving experience event, all British with their plates readable if anyone else wants to check theirs. All have “O” plates.
I will post more when the parts arrive and are fitted.

Was reading elsewhere that lot's of OE plates, or OV, registered Oxford are press cars, magazine cars, exhibition cars, jaguar mgmt. An OV XJ was used in Skyfall according to another forum.
