997 turbo S - am I mad?

997.1 or 997.2 Turbos are stunning but just as a fact check, if you rank in order the numbers of UK registered cars you might be surprised.

Ranking UK cars from lowest to highest

1. 997.2 Turbo PDK
2. 997.2 Turbo S PDK
3. 997.1 Manual
4. 997.1 Tiptronic

There is just a cigarette paper between the first 3 but it does rather turn on its head the whole thing.
 

Not wanting to seem pedantic but shouldn't the 997.2 manual sit at the top of that list as far as rarity goes?
 
 
There are supposedly some 997.2 Turbo S Manuals knocking about. That would be the rarest surely.

I don't think so......I can't say I've ever heard that ...where did you get that from?An official source ?
 

EDIT: Just realised the above might refer specifically to 'S' cars.

Re standard 997.2 Turbos ... they are definitely out there but when I queried how often they came up I was told by JZM that "they are 'as rare as hens teeth".

Whenever I've seen any advertised they are always at a premium price and always sell very quickly.
 

I read it on here.

I am prepared to believe the chap was mistaken.
