Hydraulic vs Electric Power steering

[stefan9107]

So I've purchased a 2015 F Type R AWD that I should be taking delivery of this weekend.
Not that it makes much difference but just purely out of interest, anyone any idea if it has the hydraulic or electric power steering?

It was first registered in August 2015 and is on a 15 plate, but it's listed as a MY 2016.

MY16 will have electric power steering.

The 10th digit of the VIN will be G if MY16, F for MY15. My MY18 was built in March 2017 and registered in April that year.

Yeh, definitely a MY16 as the VIN is a G on the 10th digit. Electric power steering it is. Thanks for the info guys.

Coincidently I'm in the same area as your @mickjaguar. Heading to Goodwood FOS this year?

I've not been to the FOS for about 15 years. It's got mad busy these days so I'd probably go on the Thursday when it's empty if I did go. Although a bunch of us are heading to Beaulieu for the Jag event this Sunday.

Yeh that makes sense. I always go on the Friday personally. I find it's the best balance of having everything there to see and the full programme running, but quiet enough that you can actually get up close and personal with the cars.
If you arrive around opening time as well you can have a good look around the supercar paddock and motorsports areas before the crowds turn up, but by about 10am it's pretty busy.
