Greetings all,

Ordered my first Porsche last week, black 991 50th Anniversary model. First Porsche I will have owned as I have always had (and still have) BMWs.

The plan is for it to replace my Z4M.

The rest of the fleet is an X5 40D, Abarth 500c (wife's), Polo (runabout) and Golf MK 1 Clipper (classic keeper).

First time I had driven a 911, never wanted to do that before in case I wanted to order it when it was not the right time :)

Have opted for the manual as I will only use if for a couple of thousand pleasure miles a year and found the PDK a bit non involving.
 
:worship:

:welcome: to 911uk.

Looking forward to seeing it (sorry, you as well :mrgreen: ) at one of our meetings. When's it likely to be delivered?



:envy: even though it's not a PDK.
 
very nice :thumb:

so let's hear about the full spec and all the toys you've got on the order
 
went for Black exterior, black seats (not the houndstooth) and the following extras:

- 50th Anniversary pack (satnav / phone / seat heating / PDC front+ rear)
- Interior LED light package
- Sports steering wheel
- Glass sunroof
- Dimming mirrors + rain sensor
- Usual 50th anniversary model bits (sports exhaust, sports elec seats etc)


Just from memory as I don't have the order form next to me. Production date is somewhere in April. Not sure what normal delivery time is after production.

Anything major I have not ordered and should have? Got a week to change specs I think.

Thanks for the welcome :D
 
The 50th anniversary models were all built last year
The 50th anniversary option pack is a different car

I'd of recommended PDK
Manual 991's are very unwanted secondhand

Be warned

That's right - a limited production run of 1963 vehicles were built by the factory in 2013.

Despite personally not being aware of the 50th Anniversary option pack, I would suggest Mark is correct as he is also in the trade.

I am wagering on this to buy a very nice 7 speed manual at a huge discount at some point in the future!

Forgot that I ordered cruise as well :)

Does this mean that the 2013 '50th Anniversary Edition' 911 is the same as the 2014 '50 years Edition' 911 that you can buy today?

~ Maxie :?:
 
I didn't think you could get the 1963 cars in black?

Anyhow, good stuff. When do you get her? :thumb:

Maxi, not sure that all last years allocation were sold because I understand demand wasn't very good.

Dealership tried to off load one onto me last week big discounts though

:? In the 911-50 configurator it gives two upholstery colour options but both feature the 'houndstooth' or Pepita 2 tone woven textile inserts.

As the options list was quite comprehensive and the car was available in three colours I can't see how they could have built all 1,963 before they were ordered. That would only work if all 1,963 were going to be exactly the same. It's my opinion that demand wasn't as great as Porsche had hoped because it wasn't a limited run of a specific car.

Appreciated Kryton. But was just trying to determine if all 1963 examples of the Anniversary edition were produced last year whereas anything from 2014 onwards is marketed as a '50 Years Edition' model.

Out of interest, how many miles had the car, you were being offered, covered? Roughly, how big a discount?
