Ordered Oct 15th, locked Dec 22nd, build wk2 in February. SE has been helpful and forthcoming so all good
Spec in signature - won’t be to everyone’s taste but I love it and it’s locked in now !

You have probably answered this before but how did you jump the queue?

Wasn’t aware there was a queue! Just said I wanted one ASAP and the guys at Nottingham gave me the timelines - I paid deposit and they gave me a build date when they got their allocations about four weeks ago.
I do suspect this OPC gets a big allocation though??

Enjoy

Scary how expensive they are now with some key options still missing from the spec…..

Agree Tracky but luckily not as messy looking as a 992…

On a serious note, mine is slightly over optioned for an S but I can’t wait till 2023 for a GTS. Some options still left off but nothing important to me and the idea is this will be long(ish) term.
Never thought about the red clash on callipers but I reckon I can live with it cos they look same shade from more than ten feet away
Have asked for a price on the GTS black front grill insert to see if I can get the same front end as the “python green pack” which is unique - let’s see how much they want to charge me for a plastic insert…

Confirmed that unless I wanted to wait until July and get the next model year I won't be subject to the recent increase. The call timing was great as I must admit I was beginning to waver but this has stopped that!!

Just another 2 months playing with the spec before lockdown.................

When did you place your order out of interest?

Cheers for that, I was first week in October and haven’t heard a thing!
