Private Registration - P8 JBP

The Registration

When Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations department (SVO) took the popular XE saloon, lavished it with carbon fibre and gave it 592 bhp, the result was quite simply astounding. Known as the ‘Project 8’, (or ‘P8’ for short), this ultra-high-performance big cat was limited to just three hundred examples. If you’re lucky enough to own one, here’s the perfect registration to make your Jag even more special. 
Better still, if you’ve got a Project 8 on the driveway and your name is Jonathan Benjamin Potter - or any other name with the initials ‘JBP’ for that matter - ‘P8 JBP’ is quite literally the perfect registration. 
If we forget the Jaguar connection for a moment, you could specialise in ‘joint business planning’ or be a particular fan of the Boeing P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine warfare aircraft. The possibilities are endless…
Offered with its retention certificate, ‘P8 JBP’ can be assigned to any vehicle registered in or after August 1996.

The vendor has paid the £80 transfer fee meaning there is no further cost to the buyer of this plate to register the plate into their name or to transfer onto their relevant vehicle.

The safest way to buy a classic car online

Car & Classic's secure payment system protects buyers and sellers. At the end of the auction, the winning bidder transfers payment into a third-party escrow account.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
