Whoever can make it ,can make it .

As you're all in one place, it's probably worth checking..................

If any of you are considering selling your touring, please drop me a line.

That white touring was for sale last August when I started to find all the cars in the UK

I think the black wheels on white look terrible.

Its not had a loving owner for 10 months now.

It shouldn't be hard to spice it up a bit, Maybe a wrap, maybe silver wheels and decals as per 911SPY
Houndstooth interior should help as well.
Nothing wrong with black wheels on a white car - its just down to taste. Most white cars look better in the flesh than in photos.

As for wraps and PPF - the world has gone mad! You won't be told about all the pitfalls, until you ask someone to take it off.
I viewed the white car at Ashgood on Monday.

In the flesh, it looks great - as I knew it would. I just can't quite get my head around the plastic dash. I mean, yeah - spec it base white by all means, but spec something - one little thing - to lift it.

I just don't think it's a 180k car.

if you are going to spend 180k, you might as well hold out for the perfect spec car at 190/195k i think. no point not having exactly what you want at that money.

I think we need to pick a date (out of the hat) and go with it. I'm guessing we will not find a date that works for everyone, more so in July (PS it's my 50th on July 18th so I'm probably required elsewhere that day smile)

Can you have a leather dash retro fitted? White Tourings look MUCH better in the flesh, especially with some silver decals. I reckon they would take £170k.

Can’t do 25th July as on holiday, I believe all other dates work for us.

No idea if you can buy an leather dash etc from Porsche but a good upholsterer could do it.

If you were going to keep it, DesignLS in Chobham, could do a pretty much factory leather finish on the dash. ("one little thing" - at least is has bucket seats!)

Update | I can't come on the Touring Day out as I no longer have one frown

I never thought I would sell it and that I would keep it forever - amazing car but I always wanted a Speedster. Wish I could have kept both but not possible.

I almost feel sorry for you!!

What a weekend to take delivery of a Speedster - feels like first sunshine in 2021!!

Enjoy your fantastic new car.

Stunning. About the only upgrade over a Touring in my eyes

About the only car on planet earth if i was a Touring owner i'd consider changing for. Very nice Speedster and what impeccable timing on your purchase.

Well done

I have to say…

It’s the only car I would change too.
But never I was in the moment or found it happening to me….

I bought a GT4 as an additional car this week
Hopefully this will suffice.my desires for change…

Where’s you car going to?

Thanks for the kind words. Still anxious about letting the Touring go, but as you say, this was the only car it was going to ever be replaced with.

I’ve had a few PMs asking me where the Touring has gone. It went to OPC and was sold within about 15 seconds of me suggesting the deal! I even had some guy trying to buy it in the car park as I was dropping it off.

Right, lets get that roof off.

Great job! Speedster is the only car I'd have traded my Touring for had I gotten an allocation at the time

Thanks. As you say, this is my convertible Touring. Not quite as brutal aurally but it doesn’t half go! Perhaps it’s the open air experience that adds to the drama.
