Positive. I have the order number, VIN number and build sheet in hand.
The dealer might have thought he was placing orders for '15's, but I'm willing to bet that they were actually '16's in allocation. To my knowledge the factory stopped excepting new orders sometime in the later part of Nov. or early Dec.

The ability of any dealer to enter orders depends entirely on when JLR decides they can enter orders. I ran across one dealer yesterday who still has 3 new MY14s and 3 new MY15s on their lot. JLR is not opening an order call for them until later this year for Fall delivery. (anybody want a $12 k discount on an MY14?)

Well you are just incredibly helpful! Looks like mine is also scheduled to ship out on the Atlantic Conveyor with yours. Scheduled to arrive on Feb. 26th it currently says.
Now of course they could have a port hold on these cars, which could delay delivery. This is quite common if they need to flash software or retrofit vehicles with last minute parts.

The really good news is that it is one of the faster ships capable of cruising at 16kts., and good for 8 day trans-Atlantic crossings.

No need to pester him. The info will go up on the Jaguar website at the same time the info is broadcast out to the dealerships. Same thing happened with the announcement of the 2016 MY offerings on November 19.

Documents I have says the model year's are shown in the VIN, 10th digit
E = 2013
F = 2014
I don't know if it follows on with G = 2015 & H = 2016 accordingly, but that would appear to be a 2014MY ?
Were the 2015MY cars the same spec as 2014MY?
With other Jag models you could have a car build in the calendar year later than the model year. Model year is specification, rather than when it was built.
E = 2013
F = 2014

Wikipedia says 'F' = 2015 (or 1985), for what it's worth.

The VIN picture above is an F, suggesting it is a 2015

A 2015MY built in 2015 is not that surprising, it's happened with other models...
No I meant the document I have which gives the code for the MY in the VIN is wrong, obviously the cars themselves will be right.
Just out of curiosity, how would you spot the difference between a 2014MY & 2015MY V6, V6S or V8S without checking the VIN or other documents?
Obviously the R is only 2015MY but the other models were around since the beginning and apart from options/accessories, there were no major changes...
EDIT
Aha!
So who's got a 2014MY or 2015MY V6, V6S or V8S, is it E or F in the VIN?
EDIT AGAIN
Here's a V6S with E in the VIN 2014 Jaguar F-TYPE V6 S - Stock #DX4717 - Sale Price: $69,715 - M.S.R.P.: $84,715 so that's a 2014MY or 2013MY ???
