Congrats and nice color! I purchased mine there last spring. You'll love it and a smarter buy than the 997, knew a little about that one. Looking forward to getting it out of storage in a few weeks. Hope to see you around locally.
I've gotten a lot of good info from this forum - this is a great, supportive community. I wanted to say hello and offer info that may help parents on the fence on pulling the trigger on a 991.
I purchased my 991.1 C2S from Autohaus Lancaster in early Nov 2016. It is a Paint to Sample finish: Grigio Campovolo - it looks like primer gray (lighter than fashion gray). I traded in my 2015 BMW M3 for this car. The M3 was a lot of fun (put almost 30k miles on it in 1 year) and a great family hauler, but I've been wanting a 911 for a long time and came across a rare PTS example that was close to my home.
I have a 1 yr old son and 2.5 yr old daughter. While we have 2 other family hauler vehicles, I was happy to find that this car can accommodate a rear facing car seat (graco 35 using the seatbelt to strap in) and a front facing Cosco high back car seat. In fact, my wife, who is 5' 2", can fit in the front seat with rear facing car seat behind her without her knees touching the dash. Hopefully, this will help parents with young kids who are on the fence about whether this car can accommodate car seats (specifically rear facing as there is a lot of info on front facing car seats). Our mountain buggy nano stroller fits nicely in the frunk (pic below shows the stroller with diaper bag and groceries in the frunk). No, my daughter doesn't typically wear her shoes in the car - I took them off before I put the front seat back.
I look forward to learning more here and contributing.

Thanks! You got a gem - I never came across an Agate Gray with aero kit while I was shopping. If we are thinking about the same 997, it is still there - they removed the cage and extinguisher and just relisted it.
From this Campovolo owner to you, welcome to my world of being stopped and asked: 'Exactly what colour is that?'
Lovely colour, great car - congrats.
Thanks! I looked at your thread and pics of your car many times before pulling the trigger on my purchase. I think there are only two 991 in this color. Your car looks amazing - I especially lIke how you spec'd out your interior.
...Well, there are at least three. This one's mine, '15 C2S named Ingrid. I had ordered a geyser grey 911_50 but decided on PTS instead. LOVE the color and couldn't resist the thread. Congratulations to all on your beautiful 991's!

Great to see another GC C2S! Hopefully, if there are others out there, they'll add to this thread.
That outside pic is great. With the snow and white car in the background, it shows how the paint color compares to white.
