It's when my car was for sale in the dealers before I bought it, Drivetribe took a loan of it for a feature and that's why I assume the trade plates.

It's an extremely limited edition car, but not numbered so no one knows the exact number made except Porsche but apparently 112 right-hand drive models were made in total out of a worldwide batch of around a thousand in total, and it's estimated that around 40 RHD orange ones got imported to the UK and about 20-30 remain, with the rest crashed, raced and crashed, or exported.

So it's a rare car and anyone doing a feature needs to beg one from an owner or approach a friendly dealer, which is why if you see them for sale anywhere you can be sure a couple of features will be coming out soon because the magazines and YouTube channels will try and borrow them for their content, they're so rare it doesn't happen that often and so you'll get no features or articles at all and then a flutter of them come along at once depending on what's for sale and how willing the dealer is to loan it to the magazine/TV company, there haven't been any for sale for about a year from memory.

That's a lovely looking thing. Spending a bit more time on the autobahns means I occasionally see cars doing proper speeds these days.

As I batter along in my van maxed out at 149kph.

This is the video of my actual car if anyone is interested.
It was number two in my top three dream cars, I still have to pinch myself that I actually own them.

They got a bit rarer lately, we've had two muppets throw them off mountains locally in the past month.
