That’s the third WP PTS car that’s been flipped via an OPC....what are the chances of that. This is the other PTS car currently for sale...Slate Grey. Up at OPC Mid-Sussex but they haven’t put it on the official AUC site for some reason

That is stunning - it’s a shame owner / OPC are only in it for the quick £ - would break my heart to sell that https://www.sytner.co.uk/car-search/10965218-13099...

Looks the dogs. Is the colour the former birch green?I'f i'd been given a PTS slot i'd have gone for one of the historical dark greens or blues..Irish Green would have been my personal favourite as its both classy and not too flashy..I'm done with the bright, light flashy colours on all cars, not just the RS..My current garage is full of greys and blacks with not a bright colour in sight..
It must be a symptom of post mid-life crisis syndrome as up till last year i was into more flashy colours..

Not a corrosive to the marque as the issues McLaren have, but nonetheless, not good for image. These cars need to be seen being driven and, best of all, driven on track.
If you buy a sports car, you ought to be able to afford to use and maintain it, especially a limited availability car where there are plenty would would have your allocation and do so.

I agree, there have been quite a few flipped RS Weissach pack cars..A disproportionate number of them are PTS cars which is even more disappointing in my view..However this doesn't tell the whole story as a few others would have been sold under the radar..Not a corrosive to the marque as the issues McLaren have, but nonetheless, not good for image.

Porsche are having too much of a short term view as in the long term all this blatant sanctioned flipping by the same flippers over and over again will cause irreparable damage to Porsche's maker of enthusiasts sports cars.
The worst part is some OPCs are in on it which shows that Porsche HQ secretly encourage flipping in the mistaken belief it'll lead to more profit for them.

IMHO the image of Porsche and, especially the GT products, rests heavily on their prevalence at track days, where they ably demonstrate the race-derived dynamic performance, as well as (normally) build quality too.
You take these cars off the track and lock them away in a speculators storage unit and the brand has almost zero benefit from them, other than the vague wow factor of price alone.

But don't forget lots of these cars do get driven on track, also peoples circumstances change over time these cars were ordered almost 12 Months ago in some cases. In addition to not everyone was lucky to get the call, I know to lots that had to buy a right good few cars over the past few years to get one. One is going up next week the owner has been relocated back to HK for his work. If his car makes the ask he will still be around 20k off pocket based on what he lost on other cars. Don't see how its remotely corrosive to the marque, can think of plenty of other makes that would like to have demand exceed supply on there products, and not the other way round. If anything its the exact opposite ie the knock on effect to other product within the range.Not a corrosive to the marque as the issues McLaren have, but nonetheless, not good for image.
