Absolutely superb John, top drawer!

What sort of spec have you put on your GTS

Gone a bit mad Boyo

Agate grey
Adaptive cruise
Heated steering wheel
Silver stitching on the GTS leather and Alcantara interior
PDLS+ lights
Gloss black splitter, side intakes, roll over hoops, rear apron
Rain sensing wipers
Lekky mirrors
Parking camera
18 way seats
Burmester wireless

Prob a few other bits. Should be good for resale if it comes to it.

Cracking spec John and as you say will definitely help with resale. When I was looking for a used 718 Cayman GTS the spec on most of them was poor which led me to ordering a new one. Have you gone for PDK or manual.

PDK Boyo...it’ll get used for long trips to the coast etc, and I detest manuals in traffic....

I had the same issue with spec as you, I’ve been looking for a year and nothing has popped up with the spec I want. The cost of these 2nd hand are still so high if it’s possible new is the only way if spec is important isn’t it.

What spec have you gone for Boyo? Have you got the car yet? Mines been a 6 month wait...

I went for PDK too. I ordered mine in late September last year and picked it up on 2nd January. Like you it was a toss up between agate grey or guards red and I decided to opt for the latter, which I am delighted with. Spec on mine is pretty much the same as yours although I went for Bose, dual climate, heated seats and carmine red stitching. I have done just over a 1,000 miles in it including a 500 mile round trip to Cornwall and its an absolute joy. I was however missing not having a Z4 so I have just bought a 2014 E89 2.0 M Sport in deep sea blue with 23,000 miles on the clock and just 2 owners to use when the sun is out

The guards red is stunning, I almost went for it also, it went down to 51/49 split...

I’ve got heated seats but didn’t bother with dual climate as it’s going to be a predominantly summer car with the roof down but if it was a Cayman I’d have gone for dual as you have. The red stitching is gorgeous, I think in hindsight I perhaps should have specced it but I really do like like the silver too.

cant wait to see it!

Have you got a delivery date yet John?

[john-e89]

Have you got a delivery date yet John?

Hey Boyo,

My dad was Welsh and used to call me boyo...

Anyhoo, this is bizarre and I promise I’m not bulling you but it was built today, 7 June... Delivery is expected mid July all being well.....

Exciting times

Nice one in all respects. I bet it arrives at the dealership sooner than mid July. I used to visit Chatsworth when the TVR car club held their annual national meet there. Lovely part of the country

I used to go to those TVR meets in front of the house, Shame they’re not on there anymore.

I hope you’re right about delivery, it’s been a long wait...
