Here’s mine, bought new from OPC West London. My son kept a log of all the Tourings he saw for the first few months including Reg no, specs etc. Got to about 40 - I can email you the details if you like so you can compare notes. I suspect there are more than 47 but would be interesting to know. Never seen or heard of a UK PTS Touring.

Great video about the 275GTB. This is how the Touring feels to me.

Youtube - ThecarGuys. Damien has a black GT3 Touring. He is putting as many miles as possible on it too.

Also it's a great channel for grown ups and not the usual marketing crap you see on YT.

Still slowly, when time allows searching for tourings...

I have many duplicates that need to be sorted, but overall I have 54 cars. the colours are as follows:


Carmine X 4
Agate X 10 (1 of these now green)
Graphite X 4
GT Silver X 14
Jet Black or Flat Black X 11
Sapphire X 3
Yellow X 1
White X 4
Guards X 1
Crayon X 2

Will probably be a while now as I seem to have exhausted most routes of searching, so will continue to monitor sales, media etc.

So my conclusion so far is there are more than 47 cars, although I cannot prove that yet.
In many ways as an owner, I hope there are only 47 and the duplicates will sort themselves out, but I doubt it.

If anyone can help more please try..

I think Chris Harris’s car is a yellow wrap. Car was originally Agate?

There is one PTS car in the UK. Brewster Green, with full exclusive interior owned by chaussurescowboy on insta.

I have owned two, LHD jet black car which was c16 uk spec but LHD and was the last registered uk touring until Chris Harris new car arrived. I sold this to a collector in 2018.

still have a uk C16 RHD touring in Carmine Red.

think you may have duplicates on your list as unless you have vin numbers many cars have had multiple plate changes, my carmine car has had 5 owners before me and has worn more than one private plate. many of the original highly specified tourings had multiple flips ,

if your referring to C Harris's old car that wasn't written off.
He didn't take it back after the accident, but somebody bought it, repaired it, taxed it and now its back on the road being driven!

If not CH's car, do you know another?

If you don't mind me asking, what did they charge to change the black trim around the window to silver?

YUp...he wanted a yellow “base car” because if the wrap gets stone chips it won’t show as badly as say a black car would. I think it was done by Litchfield so may well be one of the new liquid/spray on wraps/PPF .
