My dealer in Australia quoted me an additional 6 weeks if I want Mexico Blue. That's not too bad. Despite the additional expense, it's tempting to get a rare colour. I like white but have four friends with white 997 GT3s already. redface

Congratulations , join the list of people with an agonising wait - Like your spec , personally I'm avoiding club sport spec as I just think it's a bit silly really , especially on a car that will spend any real time on a road (get it in an RS though) - BTW I'm trying to decide which silver to choose ( unless I go down the white route) - did the dealer mention which silver they thought was on the car in the Chris Harris video ?
Just had a tweet from Chris Harris and he said according to the brochure the car he reviewed was a Rhodium Silver

In the GT3 brochure Rhodium looks the same as GT.

And, Basalt, Agate and Anthracite also look virtually identical.

Mind you, just spotted my own car on P.85 and that's a fairly close rendition.

I certainly hope so - it will be interesting to see what spec they choose!

It may be a pre-production model.

In 2006 when the 997 GT3 was launched there was a white car in the UK for various events. It wasn't type approved, and was apparently 'crushed' afterwards.

I'm planning to drive off with this pre-production model (but please don't tell anyone)...

See some of you at Goodwood no doubt [what will be the code, folded telegraph, red rose, under the clock????] but back to all the blues.
Does anyone else feel that the exotic blues and some other exotic colours are better in non metallic? Somehow there is an attractive creamier effect with flat.
