I received my leather binder a couple of months ago about 8 months after I got the car. My non-heritage car did not come with a car cover.

Just received inserts for my LWBS from Kim at P1 Designs. First off, Kim was great to deal with. Very responsive whether answering phone calls or emails. Sent me fabric samples within a couple of days and received the inserts in less than two weeks. Second, quality and fitment is OEM. They came in a nice pouch too which I used to store the originals. Took about 15 minutes to install. I went with the Sport-Tex fabric and couldn't be happier. They really make the interior pop.

Bravo, one of the more complimentary inserts I have seen. They match the inside and outside of the car perfectly. Well done.

Question for speedsters owners, I’ve had the car for 2 months and not once I’ve put up the top. Has anyone driven with the top closed?

You mean driving with the top closed? Yes, it just drives similar to a coupe. Top is quite well insulated, no abnormal wind noise, very civilized.

I looked at all options to change interior colors, move build date, as well as changing the PTS color, but was not given what I consider any reasonable choices. To make a long story short, I've seen that Porsche Exclusive has specced Ascot interior for the Speedster. I'll live with what I have but I am not pleased with the whole experience. Even the amended spec, was not done correctly. Through much frustration the car is complete. Just picked up from the dealer.





Missed this post...car looks great. Love the retro builds...some recent photos I had taken of my Oak Green Speedster...

Thank you for your kinds words sir, but Porsche themselves have listed 20 Speedsters that they consider to be the most custom specced. 3 of them have already surfaced here on Rennlist (JCBH's Oak Green Metallic and Bob Ingram's Versuvio Metallic and my Azzurro Thetys). I know Bob Linton's beautiful Speedster is still at factory, so I can't wait to see pictures of it when it's all done
Where can we find this list?

Thanks for compliment. I really like the color combo on your speedster, good contrast interior/exterior. Wish they could have put a speedster emblem on the wood trim like yours. Really like the wood, it gives a classic feel to the car. Speedster is an awesome car, the PTS and CXX options make it that much more special! Enjoy!

Took out the Speedster this morning clear and 45 degrees windows down, and tunes blasting. The flat six has a sweet sound as you row through the gears, and it’s 70mph feels like 100mph. Car has more than enough juice for the practical use. I hope you all are enjoying yours as much as I enjoy driving this thing. I’ve had many cars, and this is one that really just ticks all the senses. The car looks so much better in person vs pictures which does it no justice. I had a lady and her two young daughters roll down the window and said what is that? I told her she was man that thing is hot, normally it’s car guys. Happy Sunday .........
