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.
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!
****
Personally, I think we should know how some folks were tipped-off
that 'Sport Classic Grey', color code 63A, was possible to do when
that information was not available to 99% of the Porsche customers.
And don't give me 'Melissa is my friend' line, because EVERY Porsche
customer, in theory, is Melissa's 'friend' too & she can't afford to play
'favorites' in her capacity as a representative of 'Porsche Exclusive' in
the US. I am having a hard time understanding how keeping the
information that 'Sport Classic Grey' was available but not allowed to
be widely known is justified since it puts the majority of Porsche's PTS
customers at an unfair disadvantage not knowing that such a color was
also available to them.

Signal green Spyder. They went with me to the Exclusive Department
(next to the pickup room) to check if me Spyder is there for some
custom tailoring.But it has been still in the finish line and should
come to Exclusive early next week. The guys were very friendly
and showed me some other Exclusive and PTS cars. The Classic
Grey Spyder was one of them.The paper in the window showed
the name of the color "Classic Grey" but i was not allowed to take
a foto of it because some private information on it (VIN etc.).
I asked him that the color is not on the PTS list and he told me
that it has been locked about 5 years and opened in late summer/
fall last year. The color looks very nice and has not that shade
of beige like Fashion Grey.

Thank you for your response, Gerald. Good spy work! You
made PTS color history here at Rennlist! It's appreciated.

Did you ask 'Porsche Excusive' staff about the color of the
'green' .1 991 gt3 RS that you saw in the back of Werk II
at Zuffenhausen that you thought might be 'Gelbgrün'?
RSGT, curious when that photo was taken of the Sport Classic Grey? Do you remember what the two Racing Yellow models were next to it? Was wondering about the one to the right in the photo looked like a GT3 and noticed the lower part of the mirrors are painted black similar to the RS models. I realize that the owner could have had them painted black at the exclusive department. My question is, are they still producing MY16 GT3's?

Eduardo,
As you know until recently Sport Classic Grey was strictly prohibited due to the 2010 Exclusive Limited 911 Sport Classic.
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.
I was originally planning to reveal my Spyder upon delivery, but others have let the cat out of the bag before me.
My Spyder is currently in V260 Status - 1/14/16. ETA is late March / early April?

That is gonna turn out to be a beautiful build Congrats. Unfortunately we can't get the "24905" Rear side panel stitching in Deviated Thread cause of the Club Sport package. If we have that ticked in the order, the factory by default takes off the Club Sport package which I think is not the greatest idea
