Very sad. Original owner denied a possible enthusiast the opportunity to get this car @ list and now someone may pay a massive premium just for mileage which will be immediately lost - you’d be scared to drive it now and so is a museum piece unless you have money to throw away.
And that original owner or Romans has even missed the big overs boat, the way that car is priced.
Travesty.

Can't agree more..
Was denied a 991.2 GT3 from Porsche UK when I drove my previous one everywhere in Europe, serviced it with them and even offered it back to them only for them to never bother to respond ! This when they were still trading at premium and sought after..
My voodoo blue GT3 was one of a kind.. so when i never heard back from the OPC (call to the sales guy, email and text) I asked JZM if they wanted it and it was sold i think within 12hrs..
on the new one they promised one.. only to call me last week saying they didnt get enough cars..
I wonder how many now will pop up with no mileage at Romans & co..
I had to resort trying to find one in Europe FFS.
Why they don't just flood the market filling ANY order they have so to kill speculators once and for all just escapes me. Idiotic policy that penalizes the true enthusiast that cannot pay stupid premium over list.

Walliser - Head of GT was quoted as saying that Porsche totally underestimated demand for the GT4 & that the next one will not be limited - they will produce enough to satisfy demand. Hopefully the end of the flippers.GameofCars said:

That may explain why they've spent money developing a "new" 4.0 NASP engine for a more reasonably priced car than the GT3. Volume of sales across the GT4 and Spyder would pay for the development costs.I guess we'll have to wait and see if that's the case...

Do you really think Porsche are in any way actually not hugely pleased the way allocations are being fought over tooth and nail by people?WCZ said:
it's only a small premium from list, wouldn't be surprised if someone actually buys it and drives it as so far the cars haven't rocketed in value
How much do you think that car was at list? - Its not Clubsport, no PCCB, no Sports Chrono.Think someone said it.. that is a c£75K car at list - and Romans have it on for £89,995 - so call it £15K premium.
On that car youre not paying the premium for the spec... its for the low mileage - that's what is wrong.
Personally think the White car that was @ 911V the other week was a much better buy for someone that actually wants to use the car.
I'm an owner/driver/enthusiast ... according to PH, i'm supposed to be in the camp of 'love for the market to be bullet proof of these cars', and i do - but actually i value fairness more... I wouldn't want for them to fall through the floor - but i'd prefer to seem these cars used as intended and if they value up in the future - thats just on merit and because they are great cars not because of market trickery or frippery.
These are thoughts of a time past...and maybe lost forever... new age consumerisum has put paid to that.

Indeed. The white 911V car was a great price and there's a sub 1000 miler just appeared at OPC Sheffield for £82K (desirable spec IMO but some won't like it because it's black) which makes the Romans price look out of tune with the market. But then again their pricing always seems to be much higher than other respected independents like 911V and JZM so I guess its no surprise.Think someone said it.. that is a c£75K car at list - and Romans have it on for £89,995 - so call it £15K premium.

Now says Under Offer on the advert - that was quick?
Also the GTS that was there.....The right price is the price that someone will pay.... we won't know what it actually goes for... but £89995 was too much for that car, at this time, in my opinion. Good Luck to the owner if it goes... please drive it and tell us about your adventures on PH!
Does anyone know this one? Tripped over it today whilst Mrs James T was spending eye-watering money on a cushion in the local John Lewis 
No price board in it but did ask and it's 'just arrived'. Quick search of AT and here she is...
