Nice car Vic, would love to see a pic of the dash & mirror leather upgrade.

1835 has arrived ...











Sunroof fantastic on the black car, you can't see from the outside you have it but gives a lovely light inside. No rattles ...

Looks great, congratulations! And looks like OPC Mid Sussex? Mine was in the same spot I'm sure just 2 months ago.

Nice, according to my guesstimate some 80 or so 50th found their way to GB with less that 20% in Black and I doubt there would be anymore that 1/2 of those with glass sunroof so that makes yours one of 8 (+/-1) in GB. Now doesn't that sound much better than 1963!

Black was indeed the only 911_50 that Mid Sussex Porsche had sold, so certainly unique there.

Mondrian - add the fact that mine is manual must make it even more rare ...

Very nice.

The black leather as opposed to getting houndstooth makes it even more rare!

How about some interior shots showing the two special colors?

PVR, 991 PDK seems to account for 90% of the sales, nostalgic appeal of 50th might push manual percentage a bit higher to 15 or 20% but I wouldn't be surprised if your black manual 50th with glass sunroof was the only one in the country or at most one of 2. We should get a GB registry going so as to pin down the actual numbers.

GB registry would be good!

How many are there in the UK in total, is that known?

599 is the known sales figure for USA & we know worldwide is 1963. I also have Porsche 2013 total sales figures for various continents as well as US, Germany & China figures as well as 911 sales which is 25% of total Porsche sales. 2013 figure for US sales of 911 was 10440 I am guessing less than 500 of which was 50th i.e. 4.5%. Based on those factual figures I estimate around 80 (+/-10%) for GB who have traditionally had a 10% market share of European sales. Graphite seems to be a lot more popular than Geyser and while black is popular too it was not an original option so expect lower numbers than Geyser. Individual figures should be around GG 45, Geyser 20, Black 15 90% of which are PDK (according to Porsche GB salesman, US should be much higher ie x2 or 3 that of UK). Furthermore sunroof, Pepita, SPASM etc will cut those figures down.

There might be 1963 50th cars in the world but I think everyone's 50th will be pretty unique in their state/city/town once you take colour & options into consideration and at a very reasonable price (for such a high performance unique car). Best 911 ever, the unique brightworks, Pepita & amazing performace are the icing on the cake. Well done Porsche.

Sounds about right as Canadian sales for 911 in 2013 came to just over 10% of US sales but US took a higher quota of 50th. I, m guessing that only 20-30% of 50th were delivered in black leather.
