Which dealer is this? I was told I was 4th for a Spyder at the end of July when I put my deposit down, will report back after asking for an update.
Still 4th at my OPC and he said he thinks allocations may start again in Nov/Dec

I've had a Deposit in since June this year for a car, still haven't had an allocation yet so emailed my dealer to ask what was happening and they have said:

"I don’t yet have a confirmed build date but I can confirm you are high on the deposit list so depending on how many we get given it will not be long"
My deposit was beginning of April, collected car last month

With respect, I'm surprised you went for Bose, the most overrated option IMO given it's a GT car, and amazed you can hear it 'properly' with all the noise? smile

Never have the stereo on in my 3RS and GT4, but that's probably my age?
It takes around a day to get to the ring and noise at low revs is fine. Stereo is good to listen to on those long journeys and didn’t ever want to try and retrofit a better stereo

Driving round track… no stereo needed

I think the GT4 is pretty quiet tbh, but I’m used to modified cars so fairly stripped out etc

First thing my wife and best mate commented on during their first rides in the GT4. That it was quieter than my previous Cayman T.

Don't want to give myself false hope, but sounds like they are still due some allocations for next year so maybe production isn't ending soon?

A man can dream! cry
There are definitely a few cars going to come through for 2022. I suspect the question for you will be how many and how far up the queue you are. Fingers crossed!
Hopefully something gets confirmed soon, the wait is killing me! I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm getting itchy feet... spin

Out of interest, was yours Manual or PDK? Hopefully I at least get a slot confirmed within the next month or so for delivery early next year

My OPC tells me that across the range they are getting twice as many cars through presently as usual for this time of year. He reckons it’s due to more chips being available to actually complete cars. Saying all that, the GT cars are still available in penny numbers and he can’t see that changing at all

That's good news, hopefully with any luck something comes available! Although I have been looking at alternatives just in case....
