Indeed it must Joe, I'm starting to feel better too so time to get the car out.
I'll look forward to it
I think the Dundon modifications for the 991.1 look interesting too.

I've been a loyal, though not the most prolific Porsche customer, buying only new, and spending several hundred thousand pounds on their products and services, over the years..
Despite following my dealers advice about to apply for a GT3 I've been told that they're sold out.. For the second time..
This is utter tosh and BS imo, there's no reason that the mighty Porsche/VAG can't produce these cars in unlimited numbers should they so desire, and hence this is restrictive practice, and I'm sure that a decent lawyer could form a case on a EU level against them..
Anyway my pockets aren't that deep, but I bet a class action suit could be very interesting...?
So I can't even beg to own a brand new car, which I'll keep and cherish, yet it appears that serial flippers and bloggers, can get their hands on these things, and profit out of them when they move them on. Thus allowing the dealers to make at least twice the profit on the same vehicle!
Despite my love for the brand, ( I refuse to pay overs for something that's not actually rare) I suspect my relationship with Porsche might be coming to an end, and that there might be better places to spend my £150K with...
Perhaps somewhere that might treat me as a customer and not an irritation, any ideas?
When the interest rates start rising, and sales of these trinkets start to falter, I trust all of you who are affected in a similar matter, remind the dealers who are now chasing you for some business, of how things used to be?
Trust me, what goes round comes round.....
Good luck all... :thumb:

This sounds interesting, could you elaborate?

USA - USD 144,650 .approx. £118,585
Europe - EUR 152,416. approx. £132,489
UK - £ 111 k
I can understand the US pricing, however the delta between uk and Europe is staggering.
Maybe there was more flipping in Europe than anywhere else in the world.
rates from xe.com at 18.31 on 08/03/2017
If I was Porsche the smallest allocation goes to the UK
.1 prices should remain firm because nobody will get a .2 !
That looks like a massive bollock drop. Is it the same on the other models? Maybe Porsche uk hasn't caught up with post Brexit sterling yet and are just making less margin. The costs must be the same and in euro you'd assume.
Porsche engage in extensive multi-year currency hedging (all of which came out when the Volkswagen takeover thing was going on) so that is a major factor. As presumably is the different tax treatment of motoring around the world.
That said - prices are sure to go up eventually.

On to the back up plan...
What would you expect the 991.2 GT3 premium to be?
I wasn't on the pulse for the .1 when it was released. That said, I have seen these as high as 165k?
My guess is 180k for one in November?
Will the 991.1 RS look like a bargain at £190?
