Porsche Werksabholung - not for UK customers?

[cardigankid]

This is an option in Germany, indeed they are completely geared up for it in Zuffenhausen or Leipzig - but not in the UK - it cannot be selected on the Configurator, and any dealer will confirm.

What is the issue?

The above sounds plausible, but I can assure you that it is bks.

Thee is no factory collection option on the Configurator. I recently asked Porsche Glasgow if this option would be available in the Spring / Summer. I was told emphatically that it was not available, it would not be available, and no reason was known. You cannot collect a car from the factory if you are a UK purchaser.

WTF?
