Depends where you are in the queue. My OPC has an allocation of 3 for 2015 - July; Oct; Nov delivery.

My dealer confirmed their allocation today and they are only getting two. I'm number two on the list so that was lucky. I am confirming spec tomorrow! However, they said the 918 seats are not an option on UK cars. Has anyone else had this when doing their spec with the dealer?

Oh poo.... I haven't had a call from my local OPC yet...I'd assume they all got their allocations at the same time...? I'll give them a call in the morning.... Nobody's heard from OPC Nottingham have they....?

Never seen your Spyder around.

No, from Brum, but have lots of relatives/friends up Notts way.... Also get all my servicing etc. done at the Notts OPC, as have had cars from them previously... So sort of consider them my "local" dealer...

Does your dealer mean he is only getting 2 cars in 2015 as opposed to just 2 cars!confused

the 1st figure was 150 Spyders and 200 GT4, It looks like less Spyders and maybe a few more GT4, seems GT4 have pinched some Spyder slots in the UK.

I have an October build slot and hoping long before it's locked in my dealer will advise what he has coming in 2016. In the meantime he can only see production up to end of 2015confusedand I should have asked if he can see any model production slots for 2016

Can Porsche actually produce 150 UK Spyders in just 3 production months - It took 18 months to do the 237 987 Spyders so I guess not biggrin

My dealer seemed pretty sure that they are not getting any more than two.

My OPC is receiving 2 cars in total this year and next.......I was reliably informed around only 80 cars for the UK in total and this has now been confirmed. The Spyder is going to be one rare beast.

I have a confirmed build slot which looks like August for September delivery on the new plate.

Probably going Rhodium maybe Sapphire possibly metallic white.

Ditto. I'm definitely going for rhodium, or white. Or agate or GT silver.

GT silver. Or metallic white.

Still got the ceramics box ticked, if only for less brake dust.
Anyone else?

I like your thinking but £5k is a lotta brake dust money rotate

Now confirmed by whom? and if 80 cars is the total for UK then they could make them all in 2015 hence no production slots for 2016 showing - Have numbers reduced so the Spyder GT4 can rain on the Spyders parade sooner rather than later idea

I first registered my interest in the spyder last march , and my dealer took 5k deposit from me on 4apr , and car was spec'ed also on same day.
Apparently he has 2 build slots and I am no3 but he seems to think I will get a car.
So not sure where I stand! Pi**ed off I was not ready on the 2nd apr , as was still convincing the wife!
