The wait is killing me. Had dinner with a friend last night who showed up in an Albert Blue 911, which looked fantastic.
If a number of owners are thinking about bringing these cars to Rennsport, it might be fun to get together for drinks or dinner…could be an opportunity to get all of the colors together for the first time (that I know of).
I'm seeing my Albert Blue 000 at the dealer on Monday, will post pics. Not taking delivery until PPF work is done.

A Rennsport meet up would be fun, I was planning on bringing a different call but more fun is always a motivator.
I'm assuming that's a camera setup on the back of the car. What kind of camera/mount/microphones are you using?
That’s an Insta360 One RS with a mount from Amazon. I’ve been very since I’m back, still checking/editing the videos but here are two screen shots from Julier Pass.
Nice. Yours doesn’t appear to be a 000. Instead you personalized the car with CXX by copying some of the 000 elements. Very creative none the less. Must have cost a fortune to spec everything individually.
The process was very fluid and easy because of what 000 had established, especially expanding or reducing the use of Ascot brown leather and the black aluminum inserts. You just have to start from the 000 package with the CXX rep through your SA and personalize further. The cost for my setup is roughly the same as getting the full original 000.
Car arrived at dealership today. I know Albert blue is not common on the 000's and the other colors are great. I think I'll be happy with how this one turned out. The choice here was to push the ascot a little harder below black beltline, so added leather steering column and shift boot to the lower section.

^ This actually came up in one of the meetings, and was viewed as a positive outcome of the project by all sides. If the 000 Package made certain CXX easier on the 718 Spyder, we saw that as a win. Neat to see a theoretical became a reality!

Wow. First one I've seen in Albert, and it looks even better than I hoped…and like it is going to be absolutely fantastic after it is prepped.
Curious about the black taillights (?), and really like the steering column in Ascot—can't wait to see more pics of the interior but sure appreciate the preview!
Pete, I'm curious about the taillights too. I'll verify when I'm at the car on Monday.
Pics were taken by a service rep at the dealership.
^ Very interesting.
Totally up to you but we viewed them as a defining feature of the 000 Package and one of very few (the only?) unique outward indicators. Spyder + Nacelles > 000 Package car at a glance as it goes away. Were it me, I might request the dealer rectify via the parts dept so they're in place upon delivery for the sake of originality (and include the clear ones). Then again, I am not all that concerned about originality.
