I’m surprised that I have not seen posts recently of anyone getting a new F-Type delivered. Am I missing something?

My wife ordered one a few months ago and it’s currently on a container ship (BESS) and due to arrive in US on 12/28. OK, given that there are thousands of container ships floating idly at US ports, I’m not holding any hopes that it will get to Dallas any time soon. Still, it seems like we are the only new F-Type buyer around here.

Am I mistaken?

 

I have one scheduled for delivery around 1/14.

 

Please remember to post pics and specs if possible.
Congrats Cowgirl!

 

My order was placed on Nov. 11, 2021 although it had been in the dealer's queue since mid July, supposedly waiting for the factory to begin accepting orders again.
The build date on the Order Details sheet is 2/4/22 and the delivery date 3/25/22.
I will still be holding my breath until I can confirm the vehicle has actually been built.

 

My wife ordered Oct 14 I think. Built in December and the ship is due to dock in Baltimore on Sunday. So I’m guessing it will be at dealer a week or so thereafter.

 

Will do Cowboy! Stay warm out there!

Specs are:

'22 R
Firenze Red
Oyster Windsor seats
Not many boxes left unchecked...panoramic roof, suede headliner, illuminated door sills...

 

SWEET.... Cowgirls know how to take the MOST BEAUTIFUL automobile and send it over the top!
Royally Appointed and well sorted for the next RODEO... just like my John Deere 3400 Series!
lol, Spark

 

Wrong pic! That's Indian Lynne, one of my ropin ponies!
pls excuse the thread highjack....PEACE OUT

 

Be warned, that could take a while. In 2016 I bought a car (an XF) that had just arrived at the dock in Baltimore. It took 6 weeks to get delivered to the dealer in NJ, and that's before the pandemic.

 

Love it!

 

I'd love to see everyone else's spec!

 

I don’t have the build details on hand, but this is what I recall:

• P450 Coupe
• R-Dynamic AWD
• Carpathian gray
• heated/cooled seats
• Light Oyster interior/ extended leather
• panoramic sun roof
• Suede cloth headlining
• blue brake calipers-could be red actually
• Meridian surround

 

Blue calipers?? Wow! Only red and an optional $500 black were available to me.

 

I'm waiting for my dealer to get confirmation for an allocation to build...

 

I ordered a '21 F-Type R in March of 2021, but COVID and chip shortage delayed it so long, I received a MY '22 in September...almost 6 mos. to the day.
Not sure what the current production status is for new orders, but I hope your wait is short. You will love it when it gets there!

 

Ah! I may have conflated brake caliper upgrade on the Land Rover Defender with the F-Type. So, it may well be red calipers on order.

How long was it from contacting dealer until you had a build date?

 

About 10 minutes

I stopped by to test the waters, told him about the car I wanted to get rid of and how I wanted to order exactly what I wanted in a new F-Type. He said that he had one build allocation that had not been finalized and we configured it right there on a car that already had a build date. This is my third Jaguar from him and my second F-Type (other was an F-Pace), and I guess that counted for something.

 

Similar thing happened to me. Put in my order, they had an allocation that they modified to my specs.

Did they say yours would be missing any options due to the chip shortage? You may want to ask. I was told mine won't have powered tailgate and proximity key.
