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?
On one of Chris Harris’ podcast I believe he said that he ensured that the car wouldn’t be repaired when dealing with the insurer and hence was paid out. This could be incorrect but I haven’t seen anything about the car being back on the road myself.

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 you look on chaussurecowboy’s Instagram the car is agate grey not brewster green although it does have an exclusive interior colour and green edge to the wheels. This indicates no PTS in uk. I was informed back in February that this car was owned privately by Neil at hairpin company. Regards.Dan

I’ve seen it in the flesh, he also has a matching 991 speedster.

He used it daily for a while. Pretty sure it was not a wrap. Green interior with CXX option houndstooth.

Yes, Neil owns the Agate car with the green CXX interior. Chausseurecowboy’s Brewster green car is a 991 Speedster, Reg number 911P

I don't think so....

You quite possibly could be no 10!

Hi Johnzr4mi

I only have one other black car with silver trim, but I’m sure it’s not yours...
If you wouldn’t mind direct mailing me a few details that would really help with the finding of cars.

Hope to hear from you

If you turn on allow email from other users, I could ask you privately, and can send privately.
But main spec items and a reg or chassis number.
Most owners are happy to hand that Info over and I keep secure.

Thank you Sir, I too like the spec !
I am just done installing the Houndstooth inserts from Gary @ Surrey Classics.
They do a really great job of lifting the interior ambiance.

Looks fantastic. Was a close call between Aetna, Meissen and Gulf when I specced mine - where I landed on Gulf

Track day question. Doing a 105 day at Goodwood this week in the Touring. I got black flagged right away on a 95 day. Anyone else been there on 105 day with stock exhaust? Thanks in advance.

Thank you. The previous owner decided to create his perfect spec, more like a 911R with subtle stripes & houndstooth inserts.
It lives up to the name, so easy to live with having put 1,000 miles on in the last month. I tracked it at the last Silverstone RMA day ( no noise issues on a 105db day) trip to Goodwood last weekend. Multi talented forever car..!
