The Ivory White was at Tewkesbury OPC when I called in on Saturday

Looked understated but very cool the cloth and wood was a real highlight …. :D :D

Great photos, Mike. I can kind of see where they’re going with the retro look of classic colours, cloth seats, wood trim, exterior aluminium and the Fuchs-inspired wheels. Am sure they’ll all sell easily, assuming they’re for sale?

Yeah, and there’s a dark grey one that makes up the quintet. :geek:

I was reading the latest edition of Christophorus yesterday and was surprised to learn there are 105 colours available under the "Paint to Sample" scheme and an almost infinite number under "Paint to Sample Plus". Mind you, reading about the process involved with "Paint to Sample Plus", that option must const nearly as much as the complete car.

Slate Grey and Light Ivory are more subtle... ;)

I don’t get that magazine any more. :( Maybe because my car’s over 3 years old and they think it’s a keeper... 🤔

That surprises me Simon as it has always seemed to me to be a magazine for 911 owners. For years it has annoyed me that the Macan and Cayenne hardly get a mention despite being the major sellers.

I kept my Macan SD for five years and I'm sure Christophorus kept coming beyond the three year mark. Mind you, old age affected memory and the fact that I've never kept a single edition makes it impossible to tie down when (or if) the magazine stopped coming. Obviously, it restarted (or continued) when the GTS arrived.
