I have gone for Gentian Blue, ticket quite a few option boxes, a lot more than I should have but not bucket seats 
. I wanted them but need Isofix for a baby seat 
!
I haven't been told when my freeze date is yet but I know it is 'supposed' to arrive at the latest 1st October, so still changing the spec on a near daily basis, still thinking of just going for the Shark Blue, as I do regret not getting Miami Blue on my current 718.
Nothing wrong with comfort spec and whatever fits your circumstances. I've also gone with the 18 ways with the passenger isofix option..

Personally not a fan of shark blue, it does seem a little dull when I saw one in person. Miami blue on the other hand was my first choice ahead of crayon but such a shame they pulled it from the standard colour pallet

PTS Spyder, PDK, yet to be revealed, Oct del.
Lucky man and well done ! May I ask when did you get your allocation and when does it lock? Mine locked end May and I was advised if I wanted PTS I had to give up my current allocation and wait potentially into 2022. I accepted no PTS at this stage of production LOL

I asked for it when the PDK Spyder was launched. There was a tentative yes about 3 months ago followed by a firm yes about a month ago. I have submitted the full spec as requested by my OPC a couple of weeks ago. The Porsche system says it’s spec changeable for about 3 months yet but my dealer says that doesn’t apply to a PTS car and that the spec is locked earlier. The delivery to dealer date appears a bit flexible as well.Lucky man and well done ! May I ask when did you get your allocation and when does it lock?

This is my first PTS car so I have no idea how it works in practice. Anybody on here with experience of the PTS process care to explain how it normally works. My OPC is not that sure either.
Pity factory collection is not a thing anymore, I would love to do that for this car.

That process for PTS sounds about right IME. You must be really excited! This is my first PTS car so I have no idea how it works in practice. Anybody on here with experience of the PTS process care to explain how it normally works. My OPC is not that sure either.

I enquired about the 000 package that they’ve launched stateside and got a ‘yes’ from Porsche UK but with rumours about them stopping production I didn’t want to give up my current allocation and risk no car.
The car actually only came about very recently after a cheeky request for a Spyder with an OPC I’d only dealt with once about 4 years ago so I feel quite lucky at this stage.
Factory collection would be awesome too but if you’re on end of year collection you may run into winter tyre issues even if they’ve opened up the collections again.
Looking forward to seeing the revealed colour.
