According to the configurator contrast stitching is £1900 - the same as the regular cars.
Bonkers eek

Almost 2 grand for what is, in essence, a tiny drop of dye on a small bobbin of cotton.

You've already paid for the cotton itself and the processes to attach it to the seats.
If £1900 concerns a purchaser then they're financially overstretched IMV

I think that is missing the point. The £1,900 is neither here nor there to the vast majority of purchasers. That does not mean it is not a colossal pisstake.

Haven't bothered with it myself. Looks fine as it is.

I was intrigued where the video was shot for the launch of the B25 as it looks like a great place to take it if I end up getting one (still waiting for confirmation). It turns out it's the Croatian coast south of a place called Karlobag.



How did I find out? Well when they're doing the static shots of the cabin in the video PCM is showing where the car is located and you can just make out Karlobag. Simples smile

Strange. I’m 1st on the list to get one at my opc and I’ve just rang him and he said he’s heard nothing about built slots for the 25 edition as yet

For some reason GTS 4.0 takes much harder and longer to build than Boxster 25.
Which probably means it's going to be rarer smile at least 2021 regs

I agree with you there,the 25 Edition is a GTS? And they will have to build all the 1250 this year as if they dont they will be the 26 Edition???

Mine is also a June build. September delivery seems a bit far out though. I'll need to double check that with my OPC.

Exactly yes

Classic PH quote there though.

Henry Ford would understand why it cost £1900.

Anyway, May build allocation, delivery June.
