This is awesome data. Thanks for putting it together! I'm ISO a 2016-2019 V6S MT Coupe. I see from your numbers that I might be waiting a long while till I find what I'm looking for. Could you please help me understand my odds (and when I should compromise) by breaking down the 2016-2019 MT numbers into Coupe/Vert and Base/Premium/S ? Thanks!
P.S. I saw that you're interested in publishing some of this data. Happy to talk to you about ways of doing this and what kind of data you want to expose or keep private.

Yours was the only manual coupe in Canada for 2018. All were coupes in 2019. So that makes the manual 2018,2019 pool of coupes 8 including yours . Slightly higher odds if you were to look for one in the US. 88 manuals 2018-2019. 55 of them coupes.
Some flexibility is always required for almost any F-Type outside of the base models. It took me almost a year to find a good deal for my Automatic RWD 2016 F-Type S with the options I wanted it with; and even then I had to compromise a little since I could not find one with carbon fiber blade wheels.

You really have the holy grail of F-type inventory. Looking at the list, I wouldn't even consider the P340s because they don't have the LSD (I drive the car year in the winter so need that). So, that leaves me with 3 cars to track down. Talk about a needle in a haystack. I always thought my 2018 was the only 6MT in Canada -- so, your data proves that (as it relates to coupes).
I really wish I had found/connected with you before I sold my 6MT.

I've got a 2016 V6S MT Coupe I've been thinking about selling (I've got an itch to go back to an Evora). Also in the past few days some 2017s have shown up on Autotrader. Feel free to send me a private message if you are interested.

No. First US manual was MY2016. It was announced at the LA auto Show in November of 2014, and I put a deposit down two days later. Mine was delivered in 8/15, but a 2016 model.

I don't suppose you'd have something similar for Canada?

There were about 5-6 pre production Canada manuals with VINs in the 20xxx and 21xxx numbers built in late 2014. Yours was the first Production Canadian manual. Second built overall. First normal production MT F-Type was a Glacier White UK manual S coupe. VIN SAJAD61W3G8K27680

Hi Ftyperegistery, this is fascinating stuff, and I was wondering if it would be possible to do a color breakdown similar to your year/model analysis in the original post? I'd also be interested in the total number of 2014 V8S if you ever do get the chance to go that far back and figure that out! Cheers, cjp

While your point is correct, data like this is always suspect because it doesn't also tell you how many available models/trim levels are offered in those colors. It's the chicken/egg thing. Dealers report black, white, silver as the best selling colors so the manufacturers make more of those and the dealers stock more of those. Then people go to the dealer and see what they want but only in one of those colors so they buy it (vast majority of dealer buyers buy off of inventory). And it repeats itself.
