Ultimately, all these cars belong to Bunker Group, and JWW is a brand of BG too.

I enjoy the 'content :-)'
I just find it so depressing to see Porsche GB policy for allocations which enables a second rate you tuber repeated offers of the limited run cars over long standing loyal GT series customers.

To be frank i feel inclined to turn down an allocation now if offered one in 2023, it just really really grates.
The 'real' owner of those cars has bought more Porsches than you would expect.

I suspect it suits the OPC fine to deliver to such a high profile person, whilst actually serving their top customer. The main difficulty they have is that they are not able to clarify and therefore put other customers' noses out of joint.

Won’t be long and I’m sure other opc centres will have gt4rs cars for sale in their used showrooms sat under black dust covers.

If your not the right type of customer they will tell you it in for storage, but sadly it will be a car which is being flipped straightaway.

The majority of these cars would of been sold to certain customers knowing both the dealer and customer will make money when flipped.

It’s a shame porsche are apparently making so few of them.

I've seen a few of these in the flesh. My current fave Porsche and if dealer offered me one I'd buy and not even a fan of autos in sports cars. However at £255k I'd add a bit and buy the silver 765LT in classifieds. GT4 RS doesn't have the road presence of a £150k car let alone £250k car. I like this about the Cayman RS. I'd paint the carbon bits to make it look even more unassuming.

I agree.

At £80k with spec the 981 GT4 was a bargain which everybody appreciated.

At £150k a 718 GT4RS is a stretch ... and at £250k it seems a bit silly ....

Particularly considering where it has come from, accepted that they had trouble selling the 964RS in the UK ... though this was one of the many imports ... how times change.

I get the discussions around 'value' and the perhaps distasteful 'flipping' of some cars, but given the number of cars now delivered, it seems to me that they are being 'flipped' in somewhat fewer numbers than other GT or RS products of late. The 992 GT3 and 997.2 GT3 RS being the most recent examples. Perhaps it's just my perception, but these seemed to be available on the secondhand market early in the delivery schedules in far greater numbers?

Value is all relative - supply and demand etc. but what I can say is that once you've driven the car, thoughts about selling it are about as far from my mind as they possibly could be!
It's a different RS experience, some things are familiar, the weight of the controls, the overall feel of the car, but what is different is also immediately evident and that's mostly due to the noise of the air intakes. It is a unique RS experience.

I think prevailing financial conditions is really becoming a contributor at the moment. Also the delay on deliveries..means that cars have only really started to trickle through recently, in what is now late autumn... so that has cooled the frenzy. IMO.

The delay has also meant, that 992 3RS is the new and shiny on the block, and reclaimed the thunder... so big money would be moving to try to secure one of these.

But predominately... 4RS have been offered around 'off-market', but at the prices that seem to be indicated... over £220k... people are rightly considering other options. 100k over is crazy. But if someone want to pay it... good luck!

Porsche GB rapped their knuckles perhaps?

Hopefully, though I wouldn’t bank on it.

£100k over list would be the obvious reason.
