Hi Everyone!
After many hiccups (as happens to many) I finally collected my Mamba 4S CT TODAY. It was due to be ready on Tuesday but an update failed so they contacted Porsche Gmbh who helped push it through so I was able to schedule a couple of days later.
They did a lovely job with the...
I agree on having an interior you like, actually more so than the exterior. I’ve also spec’d contrast stitching at quite some expense as you all know. Mamba green on Black. I’ll post some pictures once I get it on Tuesday.
Happy Easter !
Gosh it’s such a long time Frank. I have only seen a few on the roads also. Had to drop the 911 in for repair at Silverstone which they did in 2 days. Saw one there as a demo.
Now I have to wonder if it’s Christmas or Easter … I’m collecting mine on Tuesday from Mid Sussex. Taking my son...
Just an update to my earlier post. Ordered July 15th. Lock date Late Jan. Was originally scheduled / then delayed to build ready March 8 and then rescheduled for April 8 due to closure. But I got a call today confirming my car is now at the docks in UK. Have arranged to collect week after next.
The TYD now rebranded "Behind the Scenes" facility wasn't available to all dealerships in the UK when I ordered last July. It was being tested in a few but not all. It may now be available to new orders but I don't know for sure. You can ask your dealer about it - they will know.
I had advice that my car would be built March 8th and last week they called me to confirm that the factory had rescheduled for April 8. So similar timing
The US seem to have more allocations available compared to the UK, mainly due to the high take up rate in the UK compared to what dealers in the UK requested for allocations (before they knew it was going to be so popular here). UK tax benefits are what's driving the unexpectedly high demand...
With the new Oxford emissions restrictions you may find the centre parking quite empty soon when they ban all ICE and Hybrid cars there! Only all electric vehicles will be allowed in.
Nice car. My spec is quite different albeit same colour exterior. Also chose my spec of me and no one else. I will look out for you on the roads (when you get it) as I think you cannot be that far from me (Bucks /Oxon border). I also bought for occasional dog use. My 911 4S Convertible is our...
If you go on to a comparison site (I did Compare the Market) you can say you are not the owner but you are the keeper. And fill in your driver / history details, location, biz milage etc. I read a while back in teh forum that Admiral is the best at the moment. Just tick the usual options you...
Yes - I asked Porsche to confirm that, they said it was fine. I have been the reg keeper on other previous company cars (a while ago though).
Edit : Dont forget , being the registered keeper is not the same as the legal owner.
I will be the registered keeper on the V5. I will take out the insurance in my name and just charge it to the company. Admiral was the best quote I got.
EDIT. I'm expecting my car to be available early March. I just did a refresh on compare the market. I am the reg keeper and company is the...
