Not many if it is like the 991 Speedster….only the first few cars could spec Heritage as Porsche underestimated how many people would want it. In shocking news Porsche had to withdraw the option. Couldn’t blame Covid in this case though……..
Dont think it will be an issue this time around. Everybody who wanted heritage on the Sport Classic got it on. The last few cars produced over last few months all have it. The heritage interiors are now avaiable to spec on the rest of the range, so no reason at all to think that they wont be able to spec on the ST.

Nice spec. Leaving roll cage makes sense, especially if you going on trips and need to carry decent amount of luggage. But it does look sooo good.

The review on the Pistonheads front page is probably the best/most complimentary one I've read/seen.

The YouTube stuff seems a little 'muted' in their tone - fewer superlatives or definitive 'it's the best there is' comments...perhaps it's latest and greatest fatigue?
Agree, they aren't shouting from the rooftops that its the best 911 ever!

It could be fatigue, or just the fact they have reached the pinnacle and now it is just becoming more and more difficult to improve upon in a meaningful way?!

First UK dealer allocations are October/November or December so should have the first cars on the road in the UK by late November
Not what i was told by 2 sources today, but they could be talking about their dealer groups. Will go back and check. If allocations are for October/November or December then cars wont be here until December/ January at the earliest i'd say. Lets see not long to wait and see when they arrive!

Spec for my order

https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PR26...

I can't work out how to have the heritage interior but without the chrome side window trim, so have ordered the black interior, PTS Grey Black with black wheels for a stealth look.

...but if grey black is not as black as on the configurator then I'll opt for flat black.
Nice.

You can't have the heritage without the chrome trim which is a pain.

You have PTS confirmed? When is your build?

Not overly keen on it myself, but can live with it. It's to do with the 60/70's look i think. It was same on the SC, you had to have it with certain options.

I dont think actual allocations have been given out yet, although some people have been told that they are getting a car and have paid deposits and submitted specs etc. I have been told by a very reliable source first UK cars go into build around Feb 24. Numbers i'm hearing are 3 for larger dealers and 1-2 for rest, with circa 150 cars for UK atm. I waiting to hear about PTS and Sonderwunch which seems to be delaying thing further.

I was told this week that my OPC had a ST that was finishing build this month for delivery next month. Don’t shoot the messenger, just what I was told from a good contact.
Thats great news. I stand corrected then! Know of a few people who will be getting them and have all been told that they will coming next year and built through to end of 24. I'm in no rush anyway as ran a GT3 and 4RS through last winter, which was fun but didnt allow me to push these cars as much as i would have liked to.

I was reading on another forum this is the last manual for Europe and UK due to the upcoming Euro 7 regulations. Anybody else heard this or know anything about it?

I have an allocation on the system (I've physically seen the computer and the allocation against my name) for a February 2024 build. Provisionally told PTS available. My OPC (a smaller one) has one car allocated to them.
Nice. Still waiting on confirmation of PTS here too. Will find out in next month or so.

I've gone with Yachting Blue Metallic and the Heritage Pack with the Porsche decal - but not the roundel (so quite similar to your specification).

Bargain. Would have expected that to go higher.
I thought it was a fair bit. I was watching it fot a while, but there are far too many ST variants you can have for a lot less!

One of the first UK cars has landed. Earlier than I was led to believe they would arrive!

To be fair the owner is a serial Porsche buyer since before the first 996 GT3. He has pretty much every car and still has a few of them including a GT2RS. I'm sure his made a few quid along the way moving some of them on though!
