Common these 991R saw 2 in one day at Colchester meet!

[GT4P]

Popped along to opc Colchester for their charity breakfast meet but arrived late but was still able to spot not one but two 991R both of which were registered!
Must say though they did look awesome!
So want

[CarCrazedFool]

AFAIK, Colchester had the largest allocation. They've sold three, waiting for the forth to arrive....

[topboss]

Porsche Nottingham only got 1 allocation.

Glasgow 2, Edinburgh 2 and Aberdeen 1 I believe.

I'm glad Edinburgh got their second one...
Didn't realise Glasgow got 2 as well.

So how many in the UK?

Not enough!

[rkwm1]

leeds had 3, sutton coldfield 1, cambridge 2, east london 2.

[GT4P]

So that's got to be about 90-100 total!

There were two 991R's (one silver and one white) in Cardiff OPC's showroom a couple of weeks ago,this might turn out to be another Porsche numbers underestimation marketing/overhype a la GT4 exercise

Yep let's hope we end up with about 500+ coming to the UK

Except they are individually numbered/991

Never ever underestimate corporate greed and the lengths they will go to in deviousness to inflate the corporate balance sheet !

Renault did something similar in the 90s with the limited Williams Renault ended up with a series 2 and 3 which upset a few early punters of the first one!

I did think this, but the unique red and green stripes would make it very hard to replicate....

Timetoburn said:

It looks like an average of 2 each, with a few getting 1 and the odd ones getting 3.
I think there will be 75 in total in the U.K.

I was at the Porsche Experience at Silverstone today and the guy there said he had heard 60 originally and then the UK got a few more allocations. So I'm guessing around 65.

The car was bloody brilliant. Every bit as good as the hype. Role on next Friday.

And you really think Porsche would risk that in this day and age of social media?
There would be serious egg on face.

If Porsche really wanted to do that kind of thing like overproducing 'limited' cars, the cars would be sent out with number plaques saying "1 of 991" like the way Ferrari or Mclaren do.

It would be hell to pay if for example 2 918 owners found they are the same number plaque on their R and I can't imagine they would consider the risk worth it.

[footsoldier]

I didn't even think it was a serious comment.

There are cars being photographed and advertised as number x/991. 918 owners were allocated the matching number where possible. How long would it take for someone to spot a duplicate? No chance it's going to happen.

Also, Porsche might have a different problem with their allocation policy, but I can't think of any time when they've put a specific number on a production car and then reneged on it. Nothing like F40s, 675LTs etc.

[noneedtolift]

Anyone here got theirs yet? Mine has been pushed back to November :-(
