Joined the GT4 club recently

The Porsche GT4 has always been a dream car for me and was going back and forth about the raw experience of the 981 GT4 and the more refined 718. After reading many posts by TDT, ChrisW, Twinfan and others on here I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a lovely 718 GT4.
Looking forward to many miles of enjoyable driving and potentially some track time in the future.
- second pic is actually from the previous owner (I just think the car looks great in it).

Congrats on your new purchase, it looks like it may be my fathers old GT4! (he Purchased it via Porsche Bolton and then sold it roughly 2 years ago via Porsche Mid Sussex). Looks like a leather steering-wheel which would give it away as I don't think many of them have it. Is it on a "69" plate by any chance?? - second pic is actually from the previous owner (I just think the car looks great in it).

Pics below of the Car when it was in my fathers ownership on his private plate (if it is the same car!)
It's an absolutely fantastic spec - your father picked some great options on it!
That would be the one.
Thankfully paid a lot less (perk of buying a car in winter before demand ramps up in spring / summer).
I prefer the look of the alcantara wheel - however I'm quite into sim racing (and the wheel rims I had with Alcantara started looking a bit tatty after a few years) - so the leather wheel actually appealed to me. Maybe not such a problem on these cars - but it definitely didn't put me off buying it.

Alcantara is easily refreshed, It's not worn, more than the pile has become flattened by oils from hands. Easy to clean up and make as new again 
I do struggle to comprehend why this isn’t understood and instead, people regurgitate internet lore. (Not aimed at you btw Paul)
