Cheers Eduardo. These folks at Beachwood know I have the Spyder and naturally thought I would be interested. I was getting pinged 2 weeks before it arrived. Not sure one can have 2 Riviera Blue cars in the quiver...as beautiful as they are.

Still cold up here - excited to get the Spyder out in next 30 days (God willing and the creek don't rise!).

Amazing. Makes you wonder if someone placed a custom order, and then bailed on the deal. Someone is going to get a very special Porsche.

I saw it today. Really beautiful but the first thing I said was "why a glass sunroof in a PTS car?".
It's definitely a spec car. It was funny that Bruce Schwartz walked in to look at it right after i got there (the last owner of Stoddard's Imported Cars before the 5 to 2 pogrom in NE Ohio) to order a 981S from Brad today. They just decide to order the car. I said I would have skipped a sunroof and added the ducktail. But Bully for them.
It's still a great looking package @ $125k sticker.
Brad's a good guy. Likes the cars, doesn't just sell them, IMO.
Someone should grab it. The paint looks perfect. However, I did sit in it, so that may lower the value

This guy deserves serious kudos for ordering such a killer car on spec.
Surely some lucky guy will get turned on enough to buy and drive home what would normally be a months-long wait to get. Awesome!

Went to see it in person a few days ago. It's a Mexico Blue according to the salesperson. It looked good but not stunning and I didn't really like the duck tail. Anyway, they also have the "True Blue" Speedster and a "Lime Gold" Cab parked between it. That "Lime Gold" Cab looked pretty good.

Never understood why Lime Gold never caught on. Beautiful colour.

PTS 'Light Green'

This is the PTS color that actually took my breath away a few days ago while visiting 'Porsche Exclusive' at the factory! More about it when I post about my special two hour tour of 'Porsche Exclusive' in Zuffenhausen guided by none other than Dr. Tobias Donnevert (GM Customer Center - Customer Consultation & European Delivery Center) and Mr. Boris Apenbrink (GM Customer Center - Special Vehicles)!

Saludos,

I really like this blue, especially with the darker wheels. But I wonder how I would feel in a couple of years ?

I usually like the glass sunroof option myself, but in this case I agree that it doesn't look good at all. When speccing an unusual color like this, especially a light one, you need to go all in.

For me it's too much of a Lambo colour. I like it, but on an Aventador.

I guess there were plenty of orange/lime/canary 911s in the 'day-glo' '70s!
