I'm a new member to Porsche Club GB. I have owned my 997.1 for the last 18 months. It is a Market Launch Vehicle with 762 code on it's options list. I haven't seen another in the UK. Would anyone know how many of these were produced and if any other members of the club have one, as i would be interest to find out more about this spec.

I'm a new club member since late April, and I've owned my first Porsche since February this year. It took me quite a while to find the right 997 Carrera S manual, with impeccable service history in must have(for me anyway) Guards Red with black painted alloys. I had to travel to Scotland in the end to secure the car.
I drive it almost daily and I'm smitten with the driving experience. And touch wood, it is proving to be much less of an attention seeker than another car I own, built by a different marque based in Stuttgart, which is currently sitting in Germany without me after breaking down on a road trip back to it's spirtual home!

Yes, a good old tilt/slide metal sunroof. Very similar to the one my Ford Capri had in the 80’s! Except I don’t have to wind the Porsche version.Hoops said:Looks great! is that a sun roof I see?
First post on the forum so "Hello world" from a new Porsche GB Member[
I have been thinking about it for 6 months and last June, I finally pulled the trigger on a 997.1 C2 Triptronic from 2006 with 90.000 Miles.
After 3 weeks of mechanical scrutiny by a good Porsche indie, and some external pampering and upgrades, I am happy to report that all is good (no bad surprises except maybe the £400 charged by Porsche to redo a second key).
Lots of pleasure & sensations for all the family each time we take her out (a four-seater was a MUST for me as I could not envisage to leave our kids behind - they actually are the ones enjoying the car the most...) on the roads of Kent or France (Vive Eurotunnel cheap day pass).

I'm a new member to Porsche Club GB. Bought my first Porsche (997.1 C2 S manual 2007) March this year after a long search and taking the plunge. Best car I've owed and since March I've done 5200 miles definitely not a garage queen. Enjoy your cars hope to see some of you at events with your cars.
Not sure how to upload photo to this post.

Welcome to 997 ownership. I too am a new member based in Kent who is loving life with his 911.
I took the Red Baron to Silverstone at the weekend and got lots of compliments from fellow campers about how great the car looks. We also had a lovely cross country blast on the way home yesterday in the company of an AMG G63s. For a shed, those things can shift!
Can I please ask which Indie who used? I’m still looking for a local one.
Enjoy life with your Porsche and I hope to see you at a Club event soon.

So far, they have been very friendly, honest and very thorough in their assessment.
Too early to juge the price aspect compare to other indies but I am more after quality than cheap price so not my primary criteria.
Hope to see you at one of the Porsche GB Kent reunion. Arnaud
