it's Déjà vu all over again...as Yogi Berra would say!
"Déjà vu: from French, literally 'already seen', is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has actually happened or not." And in this case, it happened. Right here on this thread on its first page. And Conekilr was there & part of that conversation!

What we know today about PTS MY2014 gt3's, now more than one month since this thread was started in early June!
1) We still don't think the Indonesian 'Riviera Blue' is real (see Macca's post).
2) We have heard a report of a 'Riviera Blue' built & shipped to US port, but not yet delivered. It was waiting new engine & supposedly available for resale via broker according to Montoya.
3) We have heard of several PTS MY2014 991 gt3's at Zuffenhausen from a recent visitor (eilig)...but no photos.
4) We have seen a bright green (perhaps 'Viper Green') 991 gt3 in Austria and a 'Lichtgrün' 991 gt3 in Germany - both driving around!
Summary. There are PTS MY2014 991 gt3 that were built in Spring of 2014 and got caught in 'stop sale'. They are NOW being delivered to customers with new engines and are being driven in the streets of Europe. We need to see reports of the rest of those PTS '14s 991 gt3's in circulation, whether in ROW and right here in the US & Canada!

If its Indonesia you would need to be 100% sure its a PTS and not a colour change or wrap which is common in Asia (given the tax they pay on their new cars cost of repainting them to save waiting often more appealing to the wealthy first owners).
Id be very surprised is any PTS cars left the factory let alone RHD cars for Indonesia. I received one of the first RHD cars. I asked for PTS and at the time was very firmly told that it would at earliest be April 2014 build and that I could be at risk from loosing my "early RHD VIP order" (Im not sure what all that was about as I am not a VIP but I think it was folks like me affected by the very early production delays back in Sept 2013)....

I'm the dude that had the Fashion Grey GT3 order that has been pushed to a 2015 model. I have no confirmed dates at this time (no dates in the system yet) but like Jamie, I've been told maybe around Xmas for delivery..
There were no 2014 PTS GT3s built/delivered as far as I know...

I am starting to think the Riviera Blue GT3 is the real deal just based on timing as the picture appeared shortly before the European PTS examples started to appear but I don't have any concrete proof of this...

PS We will send HM Secret Service agent Macca - formerly 'Our Man in Havana' but now stationed at some remote island in the South Pacific (I think it's Bali Ha'i although he claims it's now called Vanuatu) - to investigate. We don't like 'foil' wraps. We don't like 'breast transplants'. We don't like Hairy Black.....Pandas! We like the real deal...always!

Ok, time to settle this "Riviera" mystery car once and for all.
It's not a real PTS car.
And it's not a wrap.
It's a photoshop. And not a great one at that. The clips below (with my arrows) show where they coloured "outside of the lines" including on the black trim around the windows and mirror, beyond the borders of the wing, around the front fender (notice the asphalt texture looks blue), and even sloppily on the guys neck and finger tips. I've included a white GT3 for comparison.
I'm guessing the car was originally white, but maybe someone sleuthy out there can find the original photo posted somewhere.
Ooops, got this one wrong!! (See below)

The guy states on his IG that it's a special order PTS Riviera Blue car fwiw. There are several pics of the car on his IG and they are definitely not photoshopped. Looks to be the real deal.

Agreed. Not sure why someone would go through the trouble of lying about a color if they already bought a GT3. Makes more sense for it to be what it is.

Who would have thought we would have not one, but two, 'Secret Agent Men' right here at Rennlist! First, Macca at MI-6 ( Secret Intelligence Service). And now <3mph at Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Damn, we are good!
