A BRG 16 Coupe R just sold on BAT for $62.5.

The deal was the 16 Coupe S with MT and CCB and wheels and carbon fiber bits:

No BRG MT verts in sight though.

I can confirm they do not. I have tried to order BRG MT V6S and they wouldn't take my money last fall. So I kept mine (gray, not brg).

They begin earlier every year it seems. It wouldn't surprise me if MY2021 production began before the end of this year.

Possibly to accommodate the extended shutdown planned for after the Brexit leave date.

I have one with a tan top. But as others have said, I will never part with it. I will instruct my heirs of your interest.

Thats a quick turnaround if it’s on the boat already.

My dealer called last week saying they have my official order in the system with a delivery of July. Is this normal or are they just going with worst case scenario?

Im hoping it is earlier for obvious reasons.

The Factory is having a longer than usual spring break to accommodate any delays due to Brexit.

@dhlaman is missing out on a great deal. That car meeting his specs has been dropped down to $35k.

This might not be the best example of vehicles, could have some issues but it does meet your requirements...

Lemon history? It would be interesting to hear that story.

Well I googled the vin # just for fun and this thread pops up so apparently the PO had visited the forum at some point.. He has made reference to a slipping clutch on a few post and appears to be an E-type owner as well...

Well, @mwigent old car is easily fixable. All you need is a new clutch and flywheel. I can't believe JLR would rather lemon it than pay for the fixes.

I'm in Georgia and it's my understanding that Georgia lemon law cars can't be resold. Therefore, I'd be curious where the car is actually from or if it was actually lemoned. A month or so ago I actually visited a dealership here in Georgia that specializes in reselling lemon lawed cars from California. They literally had a lot with hundreds of these cars. They claimed that the process to lemon a car in California is easy, so its very abused. They showed me documentation of this for the car that I looked at. I wasn't going to touch it with a 10 foot pole, but their prices were not even any better anyway.
