I'm also assuming it is Birch Green??? Both cars are in France.
As for the week... yeah. I think Porsche pads the schedule a week just for any delays with, ships/trucks and so on. Better safe than sorry.

Mine is still in V260 status according to my SA today. I've had the VIN for a week but still not done... guess Mexico blue dries slowly. I know there is one other mex blue one going to Texas, so maybe his is taking forever as well!!

One week is nothing... Be patient. Mine took a month to be completed after my VIN was issued (entered body shop).

Look at it this way... Even if your car was complete, next boat to San Diego doesn't depart Emden until March 29th arriving April 27th... So your car will be sitting at Port doing nothing.

Do we know if the Birch Green and Pastel Orange are factory cars for PEC or customer cars collecting from PEC (is that an option)?

Not sure... They are both on twitter and instagram.

That second photo (especially) makes me think it's not 'Pastel Orange'.
It looks like 'Gulf Orange' to me.

The outdoor shots made me think pastel and the interior one gulf.

Do you think they're PCNA's own Eduardo? It's interesting they both have interior package painted, which is a CXX option with PTS isn't it?

They are both from the LeMans Porsche Experience center in France. My guess is they are customer cars prior/during delivery.

Oops. Missed they are Euro and not US cars.

What did the Twitter & Instagram captions said
they were?

Could very well be part of the PAG's fleet which
Porsche will use for its new LeMans Experience
Center.

In my experience, it's not normal for any Porsche
Experience Center, whether it be Atlanta or Leipzig
for example, to put it's own publicity plate on a
customer's car. That would not be typical, or
expected, for a 'Delivery' on a customer's car
at the Center. Although we know that Porsche
deliveries can be arranged for customer's cars
at these centers, they normally would not be
presented with the 'Porsche Experience' plates
attached to the front & rear of the cars!

To add some confusion to the topic, there seems
to be a plate underneath the 'Porsche Experience'
publicity plate on the 'Birch Green' Spyder:



But the 'blue' zone is normally on the left, not the
right, on your typical European Union license plate.



So who knows!

Hi,
From what I know, the Orange Gulf Spyder is the one of the Editor in Chief of Flat6, a French magazine focussed on the Porsche brand. So this one is allocated to a customer, but kind of a special one... I don't know for the Birch Green one, but I suspect it's also one of a customer as well... I quite like that green, BTW.

Looking good!

Even though mine will be Mexico blue, those pix are killing me!!

BTW, how do you read that ship schedule? I need to know when the next ship is due to leave for Houston to see if my car will miss it and have to wait for the next one...

So the good news is there are several vessels headed to Houston in the next month through Volkswagen Logistics Ro-Ro Service. (Unlike San Diego, where only one vessel a month is scheduled). Some of the dates seem off, but it's because some have more stops than others.

Vessel Name = Emden Departure - Houston Arrival
Goodwood = 3/1 - 3/20
Dover Highway = 3/7 - 3/29
Lavender Ace = 3/8 - 3/25
Tianjin Highway = 3/8 - 3/22
Adriatic Highway = 3/12 - 4/02
Jasper Arrow = 3/14 - 4/04
Fremantle Highway = 3/21 - 4/16
Hoegh Delhi = 4/02 - 4/27
Hoegh Bangkok = 4/08 - 5/06
