Love your ascot interior. I have the same ascot interior with GT silver exterior targa. GT silver stitching inside. I picked it up at the ATL location and drove back to Philadelphia. Love the guts and well worth the wait. Good luck with it

Could arguably be called the “Targa PTS thread”

First time poster but frequent reader. Just took delivery of 2019 PTS/LTS Irish Green and Ascot Brown GTS Targa. It took 18 months to complete. I want to thank: i) Sascha at Beverly Hill Porsche for his thoughtfulness, vision and attention to detail; ii) Alex at Tag for perfectly matching the HRE finish to the targa hoop and dialing in the wheel fitment; and iii) all the frequent posters here who I have learned so much from. 18 months affords a lot of time to check options boxes and CXX requests and indeed, I did. The pics give a sense of my temporary madness. Not shown in the pics is that CXX was kind enough to also allow me to add black leather to the B pillar and the targa roof lining. Much better pics can be found at:

Thinking of adding Akropovic slip on exhaust since the car is really quiet.
Loving the look with the silver wheels!

I'd love to see the Build Sheet for the Irish Green car. And I got a couple more ideas for my car albeit I don't want to over do it (yeah right).

I can tell you from experience and from knowing what options he has, that the build exceeds $200,000, probably closer to $225,000. That is the highest optioned targa I have ever seen.

Figured his was at a minimum 50k more.
No joke tho, it looks worth it. That car is friggin incredible.

Thank you all for the kind remarks. The concept behind the car was a unique, discrete, daily driver. As an aside, I would like to give a special nod here to Evio whose beautiful Ascot brown interior we studied. The hard part of implementing LTS is that the background plastic parts are all black so it requires a lot more CXX work to fill in the voids. Fortunately, Sascha at Beverly Hills has deep connections with Porsche Exclusive and was able was to get through a lot of first, or near first time build features. It helped that Porsche Exclusive was excited to do Ascot Brown from the CGT with Irish Green. If they like the design, we found they are much more accommodating. Porsche was willing to be so creative that a quite a few of the items were never formally included in a build sheet. Rather, there was a working excel model that we iterated back and forth with Exclusive tracking pending and approved items. Some of Sascha's more creative CXX items (some of which are first for Porsche) include:
1. Doing the entire targa frame in deviated LTS;
2. Color blocking the steering wheel in black and ascot like was done in the CGT and color coding the sport dial ;
3. Cladding the side of the front transmission tunnel in ascot instead of the standard black plastic;
4. Filling in the black area around the door handles in ascot;
5. Filling in the gap between the dashboard and the door in ascot;
6. Doing ascot on the window triangles which Porsche will not typically do with LCA and
7. Doing the B pillar and targa roof lining in black leather to match the steering wheel, vents, instruments and floor mats
This was a both fun and maddening experience but in the end we are very pleased with the car
