It looks like an F-Type, which isn’t a bad thing. Probably doing some testing as it was filthy and had trade plates gaffered on. Disappointed they didn’t floor it away from the lights...

Seems to be the new F-type 400 Sport, which introduces a mild facelift to the F-type(new led headlights and such). So you’re probably right that they were testing with it.

I’ve only ever seen one or two. I guess the Americans buy most of them so.

Americans buy tons. Most new Jags you see are either F-Types or XFs.
On the other hand, I’ve still yet to see a single XE.

How amazing would the world sound if everybody floored it off each stop?

Plates used by Manufactures or dealers so they can move cars without having to pay the usual tax for each car.

ah. in Michigan we have three separate plates for those applications; manufacturer (“M” plates) for manufacturers (obviously) dealer (“D” plates) for test drives and the like, and in-transit/repair (“G” plates) for shops to move around unregistered vehicles.

not even, North America makes up around 10%.
The majority would still be on UK soil I reckon.
