You would hope it’s accurate as they are one of the 5 OPCs owned by Porsche Retail GB.
Thats good to know, thanks!

Nice spec and I have to approve the colour. Just surprised through you find the Gen 3 changes attractive enough to replace a 2020 Gen2 S? or are you going to run 2 Macans???
Funny that, the missus asked if we were keeping both, no. However, they had a lovely looking approved Boxter in the showroom, I feel a test drive coming on.... The change is more about 26k of wear, warranty ending, too many volcanoes about, options in light of experience and lastly, finances. First time around my order went in a month before I retired, now I have completed the transition from saver to spender!

Stockport OPC have been incredible! Fantastic service and great communication from the day I first called them and kept me updated throughout. I’m one of the customers from the “East” and picking up my S on Monday. You may have seen it parked somewhere, finished in Carrara white with 21” GT design wheels?
Good to hear that I can expect them to "keep it up", thanks. Didn't notice yours, probably would have done if Carerra White hadn't been vetoed on Monday night by my "creative director" ;) seeing it on a car was on the tick list prior to the aesthetic intervention! :lol:

There were only 5 people in front of me in the queue for the GTS when I placed my deposit, expecting mid '22 delivery. Two of those in front of me in the queue didn't want the earlier slot when it became available, so it was given to me instead which is how I'm (hopefully!) getting the car so quickly. I'd be willing to wager they can probably still get you a car faster than lots of other OPC's, the list at both Nottingham and Leicester (more local to me) was over 30 people when I enquired last year. It's probably even more now!
... and Nottingham are Stratstone too. Strange how it works (or doesnt)!

However, it had arrived with an error on the build which Porsche have rectified now. Hopefully these pictures give an idea but I’ll take proper pictures on Monday and post them under natural light. These pictures were taken indoors in a floodlit area when the car was taken in for inspection, so the interior appears brighter than normal.

I believe the second picture was taken outdoors so that’s more accurate.
Thanks for the photos - the interior does look wonderful - and, indeed, quite a rare colour option.
OK, I think I will go for the full extended option. 😜

Picked my S yesterday. Took a couple of pictures of the interior under natural light today. Will take better pictures of interior and exterior in a day or two when the sun is out. But damn, I LOVE this beast!

Looks great. How are the panel alignments?

Which wheels are those?

So they’re the GT wheels. I realise these are 21s but they look very similar to the standard 20s?

Not in real life they don’t.
