I got a really nice pair of Espresso cups with Porsche logo, they sat on a shelf above the coffee machine as an ornament, well out of harms way for nearly three years
I was in Stuttgart when my wife sent me a text to say she had broken one, god knows how
Unfortunately it was the day after I’d visited the Porsche museum & I had left the Mercedes museum an hour before, it was too late to go back to buy myself a consolation gift at either place

Freebies.
Jo Malone room diffuser thing for my wife (they cost £75!!!! who pays that I’ve no idea.) she isn’t getting another when it runs dry.
Fancy box and two leather key rings
Full tank of fuel
and weirdly a litre of engine oil in a fake leather presentation bag. Evidently a homage to Porsches racing history, no me neither.
Later by post a slate paperweight with the spec code engraved with an invitation to the Masterclass.
Mostly the same for us from Burgess Hill, except we got a couple of Porsche baseball caps too. We also got a perspex picture frame with a photo of my son and I collecting the car and a hand written thank you card from the sales guy.

The bottle of oil is still in the shed

BTW, the full tank if fuel is a legal requirement these days apparently.

Reading many of these posts none of you clearly collected from OPC Guildford who gave us…. Nothing. My other half swiped a couple of extra Porsche napkins from when we had a coffee(didn’t get to keep the cups) but that was our only take away….

...other than the warm glow of driving away in your shiny new Porsche. ;) :D

I’ve had 4 visits to PEC from two new car purchases. Two of the sessions were for myself, and two included a participating friend. Worth a total probably well north of £2k?

Any key rings and mugs etc pale into comparative insignificance!

Got nothing free from Wolverhampton OPC either, not even a napkin.
Still, got the car I wanted, some can't even have that.

...and the term ‘freebie’ is arguable, given that in reality, pretty much everything is factored into what we pay for the car, its options, and servicing etc (including PEC visits). ;)

100% correct, there are no “freebies” it’s all paid for just some get an ever so slightly better deal than others. I got an umbrella (GT4 purchase) and a baseball cap and travel mug (Macan purchase), both were nice gestures but of no value or use to me. .

Sheffield 2019 were also on the zilch list, not even a litre of oil and barely enough fuel to get home (I only live 8 miles away). Pretty sure Jessica Ennis (pre Damehood) got a bouquet of flowers with her Cayenne, although I suspect the "JESSICA" plate on it was not genuine DLVA issue, I could be wrong though!
