997.2 GT3 in Speed Yellow

[FZP]

Are there any Speed Yellow GT3'S of the 997.2 flavour in the UK? I've never seen one and want to know if I'm searching for a unicorn or rocking horse p**

TIA

Good question - im interested too.

There are a few 997.1 In speed yellow

There was a signal yellow 997.2 RS

Thread here on PTS 997.2 GT3’s. No yellow cars mentioned. I regretted not buying the Riviera Blue car for a while....

I still regret not buying the signal 997 RS .... so amazing

IIRC that belongs to Alpinestar on here.

And there's a queue of people twisting his arm to sell to them too.

SY looks great but was very rare on the 997, but there were a few 996 GT3's in it. OP could always wrap if it's a keeper.

I remember RPM selling a blue PTS 997.2 RS a few years ago....was advertised for £230k IIRC and sold quickly. Think it would fetch more now though think it may have gone to Asia as a lot of cars did around that time.

La Source argues he's first in line to buy it, but I suspect this might well be hotly disputed.

I think we should make a list based on old threads as the definite order of expressions of interest

or I just get mine repainted [probably the more promising approach ...]

[SFO]

I have one

[thelostboy]

I've attempted the search too, but nope, there appears to be a sole 997.2 RS.

[thelostboy]

Here's the one at the Nurburgring I saw two years on the trot, just to wind me up...

[FZP]

So it seems that my choice of 997.2 GT3 colours is actually nom existent in this country.
Rubystone then, what are my chances?

There are barely any from what I've seen, I think it was a case of the UK dealers got more allocations as a result though.

Looks brilliant - also with these wheels.

A pity I didn't get a PTS slot at the time and had to settle for white. I'd have gone Riviera for the vanilla 7.2 GT3 though

[thelostboy]

Riviera Blue being I think the most common PTS colour - at least a couple of 997.2 GT3s in it!

I’d say non existent...there are probably a couple of cars hidden away nobody knows about but there only ones I have ever seen are the Mint Green, Riviera and the Grey/Black. And the idea of picking up a LHD car is a much more expensive option now thanks to Brexit.

I've only seen 1 Rubystone 997.2 GT3 and that was in a picture out the front of the Porsche Museum. Not sure if that was a customer's car or one of their own cars. Either way, looked stunning.

Indeed, Riviera was a popular PTS choice. To my eyes it just works brilliantly on the 997.2

I'll see if I can dig the picture out, but that one belongs to the Museum - saw it there on a mate's Stag do about 6 years ago. (Along with 918 no.000 - Yes, 000)
