He said he wanted a specific yellow and got litchfield to pps the colour he wanted. The car is yellow but just not the one he wanted.

Sorry not sure which yellow... it was on a podcast I listened to.

I believe he said it was changed to 'Signal Yellow' during the interview on Spikes Car Radio.

Just listened to the interview on the way home...discovered that Podcast about a month ago...some interesting stuff on it !

I would imagine he had it done at Topaz in Bristol given that’s near where he lives.

Did it on top of RY so if there are holes in the PPF/Wrap it won’t show.

I'm guessing he had it done at Litchfield Motors who he uses sometimes for various car related enhancements..Litchfield are currently fitting an Akrapovic exhaust onto his daily car, maybe his Touring..They do Paint Protection spray in any custom colour which they do to a very high standard..

Not to mention that a 600 LT would have been the right choice at Touring money
600Lts, are well under GT3Touring Prices, Offered new car last week in the 150s, used ones up on Insta for lot less less. Had a good go in one this year, spectacular car to drive.
I am a huge Porsche fan, but most importantly like many on here love cars of all descriptions. Picked up new 600LT spider yesterday - all I can say is, if it proves reliable, it will be mega!

Its probably my favourite new car you can buy today without having to play silly games..Apart from my new RS which is equally brilliant although no longer for sale the other Porsches bore me to tears.
I hope McLaren sort out their reliability woes sooner rather than later so they can enjoy every success they so richly deserve.

You can clearly see that system is for a 911. No guess work required.

Crikey Tyrone.! You're even more nosey than i am and that's saying something.biggrin
Seriously i think you're correct and he's having a full Titanium Akrapovic exhaust fitted to his new Touring..Wonder if he ever considered a JCR as an alternative..?

Guessing Mr Harris might not have to dip his hand in his pocket for the exhaust or the wrap...fair play to him. It’s fantastic that someone as much of a car but as he his has made a great career out of it...not been easy either from what he’s said in various interviews. Drivers Republic going bang wasn’t great for any of them.

I believe he has an Akrapovic fit to his 1M (also by Litchfield, mega car) and possibly one on his Dook.

I wonder if when he's finished trawling the classifieds and reading cricket news he ever stumbles across these 'ere parts?

He used to be on here....on his Collecting Cars Podcast he recently interviewed the founder of PH and clearly has spent a lot of time on here. Suspect he’s too busy these days1

More to point, it doesn't have PCCBs! Doesn't he know the car will never stop properly, the steering feel is ruined and resale will be peanuts?

He put the BBS magnesium wheels on his last one...wonder if he’ll do the same again.
