R8 V10+ to GT4

[Twinfan]

You should be fine in Europe with a much higher chance of securing a car. RHD UK cars are the problem ones!

I own and enjoy my Boxster 981 S

Have direct contact with the principal director of my local OPC, but as I’m looking for left hand drive need to liaise with Mayfair or Netherlands (or elsewhere in Europe)... so my chances are slim...

Chaps thought I'd update everyone as despite being very close to a deal on the GT4 that I test drove things changed on Thur when I had a 2 hr extended drive in a V12 Vantage S... extended drive was the key and I was blown away to be honest a very special car meaning I just put a deposit down today for it. In reality there wasn't much of a difference in price (only a few k)...perhaps I'll join the Porsche family at some point in the future it almost happened this time!

Great choice!!! Manual stick or Sports-shift in the Vantage?

Nice, they feel old school fun. Keep thinking a GT8 might be a wise buy myself, I do love the looks and inside is special.

I think the V12 are wonderful character cars and good value to boot...I love what both Aston Martin and Lotus are doing these days, and despite being a big Porsche man i'm starting to develop feelings for these.
Just today i configured a Cinnamon orange new model Vantage and with the new Lotus Exige 410, potentially my new favourite two car garage, and supporting British manufacturing and engineering jobs in the bargain..
I absolutely love the colour palette on the new Vantage which makes the Porsche one look boring IMO..

It's a Sportshift box which when driven on paddles while modulating throttle on upshifts is quite engaging and needs a bit more thought than S tronic or Pdk
