I was double checking a couple of things on the build sheet and noticed something that slipped by me before. At the very end, there is a $0 line item “ZAB Ornamental Porsche Crest”. Does anyone know what this is/why it’s broken out as a separate line item?

It's the shield/weapon/emblem on the hood.

Pointless? It’s designed exclusively to store a Porsche umbrella.

It’s a demo car with 1,600 on the clock. Only available from June 21st.. Selling for around £20k ($25k) more than original list.
Extras worth around £10k.
Being an ex demo it’s gonna have some scratches even if only internally

I was in Cambridge this week and they had a similar car that’s definitely sold.

I am familiar with the trackers that European insurance companies like, but I am not familiar with the immobilizer fob.
When you pay £269 a year you get 2 separate fobs and they activate the PVTS. There’s no buttons in them, they just have to be with the car to be able to start it. For me it was a no brainer as got a £200 discount off my insurance and the peace of mind.

I got two of those as well. Not decided on the annual subscription even if it lowers insurance premium a bit. Would I want a stolen car returned to me…hmmm?!

Agreed, for me the fob stops it being driven away if someone has managed to grab the key code.

I absolutely love your S. I guess I don't see the need for the T when you have this amazing car. For me the T has more than enough power for the street and thats what I actually love about it. I have a 993 and its really not a fast car by todays standards but I can wind it out on the street and get the thrill of the flat six singing. For around 2k you can make it faster than a stock S and so if your concerned about the loss of power that is easily overcome by a simple reflash. Not knowing what you would sell yours for I certainly wouldn't loose any money by making the switch. Certainly the PCCBS are a huge upgrade to the T brakes but everything I have read is that the T brakes are more than adequate for the job. If you are tracking the car I like the steal brakes better because of the cost associated with the PCCB's. I guess the push is that the T seams to have a little more fun factor and may hold its value better long term because of its limited run. I would assume that after being in the S for a while you were able to build the T with some options that you wish you had in your S? I ordered python green and looks like you already have that and I think your T is in python green so I trust that you will make a great decision because its clear that you have impeccable taste!

My point was it had been taken off Porsche UK website and now it's back on the market at £127k (£129k when it was last listed). Guess they had a buyer who fell through. The MY23 price on this car is way more than £107k - More like an £118-£120k so around £8 - £10k premium now

Yeah probs around £8-£10 now.
I just assumed it was ordered pre-price increase?!
With another price in tease due soon you could say it’s a bargain for immediate (ish) delivery !

I did that on my 991.2 T - worked out quite well - I sprayed it with Plastidip - the plastic coating - survived many a jet wash too

Been thinking I might do the same on my new one (when it arrives!)
