I just picked mine up yesterday - I do not live in the U.K, but its a RHD.

Carrara white exterior, with Red top and Red leather interior. I didn't spec it personally, and took what the dealer had specified. I was extremely lucky to come across one available so late (end of May), just before it arrived in country. Only 5 for my country.

The red interior with the brushed aluminum is truly stunning. You do not feel like you are in a slaughter house as some have suggested you might - I would highly recommend this interior, regardless of the exterior color.

3rd ? I’m supposed to be first at my opc but still no lockdown date.

I was told in January they’d been told by HO they could have a 3rd car in a second batch and allocated it to me (never dealt with them before either!).

TBH I didn’t think I’d get the car given delays etc. But today was told final spec Monday and then no more changes.

They’re getting their first car in a few weeks apparently.

Which OPC are you dealing with?

[EEnBEE]

I’ve had my allocation confirmed today so I’m pretty chuffed. Seemingly I was the first on my list for my dealer, so those who are second and third may take some solace that there still must a significant number still to come through.

My lockdown date is 1st September, Build start date 1st October, Dealer delivery 29th October.

So, shame I’ll have to do the summer open top driving with the outgoing MX-5, and it’ll not be long after that the road salt arrives, but at least it’s happening!

Spec into the OPC today and confirmed so now just have to wait for the actual build date and hope that not too many delays with components.

An autumn car but we get some nice days so it will get used if more sparingly over the winter as the Turbo S picks up the daily duties.

two for sale for those looking for more pics.

Personally I'm not sure how great that red roof looks when it adjoins with the black window pillars, then again I wouldn't say no to one! .... thought you might like to see more pics ....

Popped into my OPC this afternoon with an issue on another car and was told there will be a GT Silver 25 Edition at Goodwood this weekend if you want to see one in the flesh.

Also got an update on my 25 build date which is now late September with an early October delivery. Later than I'd like but under the circumstances I'm not complaining.

[L.Len]

Lock down for me is now 20th July. Build to start 27 th August.

That does look nice. One picture shows that car is No. 852 out of 1250 so if they're building them in order then they were 2 thirds through the total when that car was built so quite possible all the cars will be delivered this year.

A click to keep the spirits up

Looks pretty - keen to see one in the wild, though

I’m thinking silver red interior and the black hood. Think it looks better joining the black window frame. After all 90% of the time the roof will be up in the uk sept onwards
What options are you guys paying for ?
I’m pdk. Bose and the silver hoops behind the seats

I’ve gone black so that solves the problem with the window frame. I keep wanting to change some bits of spec but am resisting for now

[Voodoo Blue]

I'm sticking with Silver and a Black Interior with red hood but added red seatbelts for some contrast inside.

The standard spec was pretty much what I would have gone for in a GTS but have added some other must haves including Auto dim mirrors, PDK, Bose and Climate Control.

What about folding ext mirrors guys ?
Bloody budget is blown. Wanted to stick to under £78k on the road. Gonna be closer to £80k

There is a certain opacity to the ordering of cars and I’m not sure OPC are necessarily entirely to blame. For anyone trying to determine whether they have a car and when it might arrive, the screenprint below may shed a little light. Taken in order, a Commission Number is the starting point without which sine qua non. The first key date is V250 and until that is Actual rather than Planned or Expected it is little more than a vain hope. Obviously, the dates following V250 can slip but by and large 6-8 weeks from the date of V250 becoming Actual, there is a reasonable chance the car should be at the dealer.

Anyone trying to find out how their car is coming along might find this a useful basis for seeking information.
