My collection of Jaguar toys is growing:

2. Jaguar branded Parker pen (from the dealer on signing up)
3. Turquoise (sorry Phosphor) pen from Jaguar on receipt of order.
4. Jaguar "carbon fibre" pen (x2) (GDO 1)
5. Jaguar head bottle stopper (x2) (don't ask) (GDO1)
6. Jaguar "carbon fibre" pens (x2) (GDO 2)
7. Jaguar 1Gb USB leather-bound pen drive (GDO 2) (cool)

[mikef]

Yep, got one of those too! I forgot to mention it in all the excitement!

I was given a pair of 'Jaguar' BRG caps when I brought the car (my daughter thinks they look 'gay'). Ho-hum.

Man, all I got was a Walnut Wood Jaguar Keychain when I picked up the car
You guys are lucky, you got all those freebies!!!

We've been lucky in the UK, partly because dealers here have a closer relationship with Jaguar (most of the staff frequently go to Jaguar events), and partly because, thanks to Jon's and Andy's organisational skills we've had two excellent free days out topped off with goody bags.

I've been impressed by Jaguar Customer Relations dept (thanks Helen Cripps) and their persistence in resolving any issues I've raised.
At GDO1 the "suits" were pleased to welcome us, and said they looked forward to feedback, particularly from this XFFORUM.

Maybe a persuasive email to Jag UK telling them that the Aussies and the rest are feeling a bit isolated?

If their database is up to scratch I would imagine that overseas customers could be rewarded with a few pens, hats and cuddly toys?
Jon has proved that a persistent charm works wonders. Just mention the forum and promise health, wealth and happiness if they could see their way clear to send you a couple of goodies. - Don't ask; don't get?

Neither did I, but after complaining about that and the quality of the hand over, I was given my first service free

So it shows it can pay to complain

I didn't get anything either. But then since I have never received a gift when buying a new car, I wasn't expecting one this time.
In fact, until reading this thread, I wasn't aware such a practice existed. Now I feel hard done by!

Andy, was your dealer the one just up the road from you?

Hi Johnny, No I bought it from Bury, but as you may know, they have since gone out of business, so I have my servicing done there. but i did buy my previous X Type from them and was very pleased with the service

I was not expecting a "Gift" from my dealer either (Jaguar Laval). When I picked up the car, the dealer put a chrome "Portfolio" badge on the rear "Boot". I was really pleased with that, and with the customary Jaguar key holder. Then he really flored me when he gave me a 700$ gift certificate for a proffessional photographer. WoW. Now I don't know if i didn't pay a little too much for the car. I had checked around and I was in the ball park price wise. Regardless, its a very nice gesture because they could have pocketed the $$$. Looks like I will have to get a Jaguar prop to include in the foto shoot. Wonder if I can drive the XF into his photo studio???
