There’s a Gulf Orange GT3 which I think is PTS and UK supplied and Maxted Page had a Maritime Blue Gt3 which was advertised as UK PTS. I like many people was told no PTS but it seems some people got them. In the US 10% of GT cars are PTS now. The owner of the Gulf Orange car did his PEC Experience the same day as I did mine. Which I guess in itself indicates it was a UK car.

That’s interesting
I will check them out. Thanks
I have a PTS gen 1 RS, which was difficult to get.
I was told no PTS on gen 2, as that’s what I ordered....
However, those orange cars have wings, so not a major concern.!!

My OPC told me that Porsche GB/OPC’s were given the choice of getting some PTS build slots or getting an increase number of cars so they decided the latter. No idea how true it is but presumably there was a reason why this was basically the only country where you couldn’t get PTS.

This is an old link to the Maxted Page advert I just found.

That’s some top work there
Thanks for that info

Everyday is a school day and we’ve learnt PTS gen 2 cars exist..

I bet no PTS tourings though..

Whoa!!

And this Agate Grey car that has racing green pin stripe wheels and lots of green interior leather throughout the interior...
Some references to this being CXX options, I’m not sure..

Like the early sighting images of the 992 GT3T , more aggressive stance but still under the radar looks

Here are three together taken last Christmas. Closest is mine, owned from new. Has folding buckets.

Middle car is Crayon, obviously. Last car is also Agate but is the one in the earlier pictures with all the CXX options including green interior.

I was told absolutely no PTS for UK GT3's at the time.

Congratulations vvv

I hope your enjoying the ownership

From what I’ve found out so far, I have over 40 cars, yours is the only Guards Red car....

So unless someone else knows different, a very rare find!!

Looks fantastic in Agate (with high gloss trim). Nice spec.

Thanks Relic

But more importantly, are you saying there is a Crayon touring parked next to yours???

If so, that is the first Crayon I’ve found....



Sorry, Just seen the above post.

Excellent

I think that's 42 cars now......
Me thinks there could be more than 47, or I have done an exceedingly good job in 5 days or half hearted investigating!!

You either should be running Scotland Yard or think you’re probably right
