customers at an unfair disadvantage not knowing that such a color was
also available to them.

For those that might not keep up with the 'bizarro' world of Porsche
'exclusive' colors, 'Sport Classic Grey' was introduced for the Limited
Edition '911 Sport Classic' that PAG brought out in ROW back in MY2010.

http://press.porsche.com/news/release.php?id=499

And that exact color was never allowed to be duplicated via PTS...
until a lucky VIP 918 Spyder owner got the approval in 2015.




And now, Gerald & Donovan are telling us that this color has been done
for some 981 Spyder clients...even thought 'Sport Classic Grey' does not
appear yet on the approved PTS list last revised by PAG on Nov 17th, 2015!

I happen to discover the availability when I inquired about the difference
between Fashion, Arrow, Grigio Campovolo and Sport Classic Grey with
Porsche Exclusive. I was informed that Sport Classic Grey is not on the
official PTS list, and is only available if a customer specifically requests
it directly through the Porsche Exclusive.

So far I know of 3 PTS Sport Classic Grey 981 Spyders, 2 in Europe and
mine. I'm sure there are others out there.

Hint: Remember my first attempt at PTS? This makes up for it!!!

My Spyder is currently in V260 Status - 1/14/16. ETA is late March / early April?

I read everything I can and while I have a non PTS Spyder on its way from the factory I really enjoy reading this thread and learning about PTS. I can see the significance in you obtaining Sport Classic Grey. So very cool! Of course, I think if a buyer could only get one option for his Spyder and none other, it should be PTS since the Boxter Spyder is so well equipped any way, so any one with PTS are huge winners, I think. Congrats. Looking forward to seeing your pics after it lands here in the U. S.!
