So finalized the spec over the last weekend and just submitted it on Sunday to my dealer. Just waiting on confirmation for painted roll-over hoops. We don't get told about the V status of our orders so not really sure where it is but will find out more in the next few days I guess. They told me build was scheduled for Dec/Jan

I hope for your sake this is the case, because a bunch of people here in the US with Dec/Jan PTS builds pending (me included) were told that PTS was oversubscribed and thus our requests were cancelled.

fingers crossed mate.

p.s I was told that the supplemental rollover hoops being PTS'ed would not be approved in time for a Dec/Jan build...

Ahhh I see, thanks! Our market is really small though, we might have 30 Spyders delivered here in total...mine might be the only PTS potentially being built so we shall see! I will update as I find out more though.

Are you talking about builds or deliveries? My November build locks first week of October, was advise it could lock earlier (1-2 weeks). Delivery is around end of December/January.

Much better than $750, although they don’t have pastel orange, maybe I’ll try Lava.

orders - according to PCNA Exclusiv, which probably equates to V215/220, essentially when the factory accepts the submitted order for production (but not V250)

I had my hopes up for you. I think we need to wait for the list to expand to 115 to get Auratium

Of the list, I find underberg green very attractive and subtle (only seen it in pics though) and hellgrun/lighter green f/k/a Jade green to be another great choice in green spectrum (I prefer Jade to Mint having seen both in person). I personally find olive green too yellow for my tastes (it’s a late 60s/70s green compared to the 30s-50s look of Auratium) but it is the closest color to Auratium even if they are not that close. I saw an olive touring locally, but was too dumb to take a pic next to my Auratium touring. Olive seems to be more popular than Auratium overall though. Hat tip to og_amer whose RL handle I forget. Anyway, there are no bad colors, maybe there is bad taste in colors, but if so I am sure I have bad taste.

Yeah, hopefully but it's so risky to give up this allocation and hope for the best in a few months, I've gone with arrow blue now!
