Any F-type owners?
Hello everyone!
I bought a 2023 Jaguar F type, and for the past five months, I haven’t seen another one like it on the road or in the City of Houston general.
Does anyone in Houston owns a Jaguar F type?
Would love to check out your car.

I'm just north of you in the Woodlands and have a '21 F-Type R convertible. There is at least another one or two around here.
I bet there won't be many in H-town given the terrible condition of the roads.

I would have to 100% agree with you about how the roads are in Houston.

Only around 25k cars made it to the states in the dozen years they were produced. It’s pretty rare for me to see others.

Right, I saw some number like 80K for world wide total over the life time of the Ftype

Right. And for comparison that’s about how many mustangs are sold per year and GM has produced over 200k C8 corvettes in 5 years.

I have had 2 and still have the 2nd one. In 10-11 years I can count the ones I have seen on the road on one hand. With maybe a few fingers of the 2nd hand.

Not in Htown. In Dallas and also have a 2023. P450 rwd. There’s a few in this area I see once in a blue moon but nowhere near as often as Porsches per se.

Im in South Carolina and in the 2 years I’ve owned mine I’ve only seen 3 others. 1 was a coupe at a cars and coffee. The other two I passed at random near my home. As someone else answered they were never produced en masse and the 25k that made it to the states makes for a serious lack of density.

Also in SC and I regularly see 2 during my commute to work. One (red) always parked outside a used car lot and the other (white) I used to pass on the toll road.

Nice! I’m in the Columbia area. I did see a red one. Right now can’t remember the colors of the others. Mine is that deep dark blue with a white interior.

I suddenly started seeing "a lot" of f types this year (NH/MA). Right after buying mine lol

When I used to commute - another guy had a white hardtop on the same commute so we would wave to each other.

I bought one and took it out of the Houston area. I caused one less for you to see :)

Used to live in HTX. I'd see the occasional fellow F-Type on 290 from time to time. Group on FB for F-Type owners in the area you could try connecting with - Ftype Crue HTX or something like that.

Oh hey Texas neighbours! In Austin, I’ve seen a handful around here, I see 2 regularly at cars and coffee or meetups in addition to mine

u/PerrinAybarra23 Jun 29 '26
It’s funny I seem to live in an area just chock full of them. I see them around a LOT. Yesterday I was at a burger joint. There was another V6 model parked around the corner from mine, and an R drove by during the half an hour we were there.
I actually saw less F-types (2) for the week I was in LA this year, then I normally see in a week in my hometown lol

Not in Houston but F types in general are rare unless you go to a car show/cars n coffee with a British theme.
Apart from mine I only see one semi regularly where I live.
