25 year’s edition boxster. What colour you chose? - Page 30 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

Any fellow 25 edition boxster purchasers . .? Wondering what colour and interior your going for ?

Black and black here,if they ever get built? The way its looking i think it might be the 26 edition! Lol

I just carnt warm to the style of the wheels! But its for my wife so i havnt got to drive it! Lol

L.Len said: Drive it enjoy the 4lt engine for a few years and sell it for than it cost you. No brainer Do you think they will hold their money well? In terms of spec, personally I couldn’t live with the red interior so if it materialises, it’ll be white with black interior and hood.

In terms of spec, personally I couldn’t live with the red interior so if it materialises, it’ll be white with black interior and hood. In my opinion i think the choice of colours available are all s t! White and gold wheels,black and gold wheels,silver and gold wheels. Non of them combinations work? Who has gold wheels for god sake in 2021?

L.Len said: I really think the edition 25 will be worth 100k Only 80:ever in the uk. I was told 1250 worldwide and 100 in the uk??

I've gone silver with the red interior, needs the link to the original concept in my opinion. I personally love the wheels, one of the reasons for going for a 25 over a standard GTS. Roll on September!

I've gone Silver/Black with a red roof and red seatbelts. Still don't have a build date but decided I'm not going to think too much about it anymore and focus on more important stuff, life's too short to worry about another car.

PistonGuy66 said: I was told 1250 worldwide and 100 in the uk?? I hope it’s 100 in the UK or I’ll definitely not get my allocation as I’m in the dealers second batch. I hope Len is right about the values although I’m not convinced atm.

I really think the edition 25 will be worth 100k Only 80 or so in the uk ever Edited by L.Len on Sunday 16th May 06:46

Another August build here after my original May build was cancelled

I’m definitely doing Silver, but beyond that I’m still vacillating. I started by cutting out all traces of the red, so black interior, black roof, which kind of complements the black windscreen surround, black callipers. Then decided I like the red roof still with the black interior, maybe throw in red belts and/or instruments. Recently, some of the latest images I have seen, the red looks much less bright than initially. Also, I saw a Cayenne with the red interior. But I still think it’s too much. I wish the top of the dash and steering wheel were black - I could live with that. You could change the steering wheel at about £1k. I think the launch spec will probably hold its value best, although I’m not convinced that any spec is going to be an investment. I guess just slower depreciation than a vanilla GTS. The only silver lining about not having my build dates yet is that I might get a chance to see one in the uk in the flesh before lockdown of my spec. I have my driving experience invite through now, and I heard from my SA that Silverstone and Swindon (and other key, ‘close to Porsche uk’) dealers are the ones that have had their build dates - so I might see one there.

I did pop in to my OPC last week to do a comparison of GT Silver and Carrera White as we weren't sure between the 2 and that definitely confirmed GT Silver as our choice out of the 3 available colours. I had a Black 987 Boxster for 8 years and while I loved it when it was clean it never staid clean for very long and don't want to go there again. As far as our order goes it was re-confirmed we've got a slot but no commission number as yet and no solid views on when that might happen. I have my PEC invite for the 25 Edition (although the invite is for a GTS) which we've booked for early August and I'm also taking that as a positive step towards getting the car. And if it doesn't happen we'll enjoy the free breakfast, lunch and some laughs on the course. I think the combination of Covid, Con-rod issues and shortage of microchips has thrown a bit of a grenade into the Porsche production planning machine and its probably taking some time to work out what they can and can't do and then aligning that to all the orders waiting to be processed. The only glimmer of hope for us is that it's called the 25 Edition so I'm sure they will want to deliver them this year or end up having to order a crate of new badges, sill covers and dash trims

I know it would be a very dull world if we all liked the same thing but WOW that Interior is f king awful! To me it would feel like driving about in a womb!!! But thats just my choice.

PistonGuy66 said: I know it would be a very dull world if we all liked the same thing but WOW that Interior is f king awful! To me it would feel like driving about in a womb!!! But thats just my choice. Lol, I know what you mean, a while back I used to have a 86 930 Flatnose 330Bhp Sport in white with full Can Can Red trim, this car reminded me of that. Looking back think I wish I had gone for a Black car now, but would keep the Red trim.

I have to say,my wife had a GTS a few years ago,then i got her a 650 maclaren,round the twisty roads where we live in essex,there wasnt a lot of noticeable diffrence in the two handling wise. What i mean is the maclaren was 4 times the price of the GTS,but didnt feel like 4 times better.

Voodoo Blue said: Congratulations, I was wondering when (if) we would start to see these out in the wild and it's good to see that is now happening. The colours look a bit more subdued compared to the launch material but I guess that might be the light. Having said that I'm also glad I've not gone for the red interior but as they say each to their own. Its interesting to hear your thoughts on handling, I think a lot of people see this as a marketing exercise rather than a GTS in drag especially with the red interior I know what you mean with regard to the stickers badges, retro colours on some parts etc. I see that EVO have just done a test on the stock GTS PDK and given it 5 Stars, this 25th has a lower PASM option. Had a good drive back to back with my speedster this Morning, I know this is all subjective and we all like different things along with that the 500bhp engine in the speedster with its ITBs and MT is something very special, but from a handling fun to drive point across fast twisty B roads that I know well, my preference would be for the Boxster 25th no question, it feels so sharp, planted and agile.

That sounds really positive but you need to stop now because I've started salivating and it's putting the dog off her food If you don't mind me asking can you say what your car's number is on the dash or if not the range its in? Assuming they're building them in order since your's is the first I've heard that's been delivered I would assume it's quite low down but if it's over say 1,000 my order's probably buggered.

Went for launch spec PDK, with a few bits like -20mm Pasm etc. Have to say one of the best handling road cars I have ever owned. Edited by APOLO1 on Sunday 16th May 10:54

If there had been, I think I would have gone for black but kept everything else the same. Very happy with the car so much fun to drive.

Now people have a 25 it will be interesting to see how much the flipped cars command. The spyder is still way over list even for 19 reg cars with 5 and 6K 2 owner cars. I love the red interior but should have the option of black dash and steering wheel. Edited by cotswoldclio on Wednesday 19th May 12:58

I think the silver / red combo will be the desired option in years to come, if looking at it from the value aspect. Taking away values, it would be my pick anyway. Though there is no ‘wrong’ combo. If it’s your money and you like it then who cares about others feelings towards it. I don’t think the 25 will do anything silly price wise but it will certainly retain higher value over a GTS I feel.

I don’t think the 25 will do anything silly price wise but it will certainly retain higher value over a GTS I feel. I think production delays and long lead times are likely to keep residuals high more than it being a limited edition. Also I think pdk's will hold their value well.

When (if) I get mine I'm intending to drive it a lot, hopefully all over Europe. Sod the residuals.

And that price increases the premium of 25 over the GTS. The % increase was roughly the same, but the GTS 2022 models get the parking sensors in the std price offsetting the increase. Nothing similar on the 25.

L.Len said: Didn’t realise that. My opc said you ger something on the b25 to sort of explain the price increase ?

I get it to around £1000 more for exactly the same car on my spec

Only other car in recent times that I felt like getting up at dawn for few hundred miles drive for the fun of it, was in my 918.

L.Len said: Good to hear. Would you recommend the 20mm pasm ? Tbf, I have never driven a car without. Personally if there is a lower -mm PASM option I would always take it as I prefer a more sporty ride. A recent US tester in his video below commented that the -20mm does indeed make a fair bit of difference. Is the -20mm only an option on the 25th? I note that on the stock GTS its only a -10mm option.The big point this car for me is the PDK, it allows you to use so much more of the engine revs a lot more of the time. https://youtu.be/Px8Bs0UNlek Edited by APOLO1 on Friday 21st May 12:24

Yes I think so the 25 edition is 10mm pasm standard. I’m gonna choose it. It’s only about £160 And yes I’m definitely having pdk. Does pdk suit the car perfectly?

It says lower -20mm, as an option so as its -10mm as stock does this mean that with the lower -20mm its now -30mm? This 4.0 engine was crying out for the PDK box, don't get me wrong I get the point about the interaction that the MT gives, but IMO, its just to long geared. You will be very impressed with this car, I mean like really impressed.

Fnumber1user said: No, the figures are exclusive, not cumulative. Ah thanks, So the lower -20mm is only an option on the 25th then?

-20mm is standard on the GTS with -10mm instead as an option. -10mm is standard on the 25th with -20mm instead as an option.

flow99 said: Cross checked the standard spec for the new order against original order and there was nothing different other than an extra £1060 for the privilage of having the original order cancelled Yes, the front and rear parking sensors were always standard on the 25 with a camera as £464 option, but on a 2021 GTS they were optional. However the 2022 GTS gets them as standard with the camera also at £464. You’d think they would have thrown the camera in or something on the 25, but no. Also, on the 2021 25 spec sheet, there was the shortened gear-lever on MT. However, that now seems to have disappeared on 2022. Will be interesting to see when someone gets hold of one in the flesh whether that’s an omission or deliberate change.

Anymore 25 edition cars filtering into the uk yet ? Mines still sept delivery

L.Len said: Anymore 25 edition cars filtering into the uk yet ? Mines still sept delivery It would be good to see some pics of peoples specs - I’m on white or black and would like to see the neodyme stitching. I was originally told Sept/Oct for the B25 and 2022 for 718 Spyder. Spyder has now gone into lockdown and only being told ‘later in the year’ on the 25. Beginning to think it may not materialise 😬

L.Len said: Anymore 25 edition cars filtering into the uk yet ? Mines still sept delivery Still no dates on mine, it'll shortly be 6 months since the order went in and the allocation was confirmed but I'm in the middle of a house extension at the moment so attention has been focused elsewhere. In the meantime I've adopted a more laid back attitude, if it comes it'll come when it comes.

So it looks as though I've got an August build slot for my B25. Pretty happy to have a confirmed date and going in to my OPC in the morning to get all the details.

Just had another call from my OPC. Delivery date has moved back again. Mid September now, was August. No reason given by Porsche just a near Gallic shrug and tough s t sir.

Think a few of us on here are August build September delivery just in time for autumn and winter

Pleased for you Voodoo Blue. I’m beginning to lose hope. I’m not sure there’s anyone else on this thread who hasn’t been given a date (even if it is unreliable!) Hello Porsche? Anybody there?

Anybody there? Thanks, there is hope if what I was told this morning is accurate It would seem that the factory will be restarting 718 production in the next few weeks as they now have a supply of components to allow them to fulfil current orders to a point. I wonder if those components are the chips for the memory seats which I've read elsewhere are in short supply and of course the B25 has 14 way seats as standard My car has a current build start in late August with anticipated delivery in mid to late September so that seems to line up with the dates quoted by the others above. The expectation is that there will be another batch built towards the end of the year so if you've been told your OPC has an allocation and you've got the slot you should be ok. Hopefully the above will mean you'll get some good news soon. Edited by Voodoo Blue on Sunday 6th June 16:31

I just had an invite but it was for a GT4 order that i had allocated but i changed to the 25. I explained that to the driving centre and they advised my placement would likly be withdrawn. My tracker is still working today after the reboot. Yes, I had an experience day triggered by my 25 order….. Congratulations on your Boxster 25 Order etc. Of course, it was a Boxster GTS that I drove.

If you've got a valid code for the PEC just use it. There won't be any repercussions... Congrats on the 25, I sadly missed the boat on these.

My insurer (Churchill) added the tracker endorsement AFTER I took out the policy without telling me. Was only after I had the details through that I noticed it. When I rang them up they flat refused to cover me for theft even until I had it activated at the OPC. So I moved on to another insurer (Admiral) and haven’t had it activated yet. Might hold off now until this is fixed by Porsche as it seems to be a widespread issue. I will let you know if my reset tracker goes down again.

Scoobyc , what do you intend to do about the front number plate ? I’m not keen on the mount that seems to screw into the bumper .

Possibly a stick on one, undecided just now and don't want to do anything I can't undo, like screws for the mounting plinth...

To everyone else that has one of these fantastic cars, congratulations, have a great Christmas and I hope you get to enjoy your cars as much as I intend too in 2022 and beyond Mines here at last but will pick up in Jan seems silly to get a 21 registered car when it can be a 22 car even thought it will be wearing Y25 BOX! Happy Christmas all xx

Amazing service, so helpful & they sized the plates to fit front & rear - no drill holes & all legal size. Take a look on their website, they may have put pics up of one having been done 😉

MarkBoxSpyCR said: onestopnumberplates uk is who I used, small stick on plate, looks great and was around £20 Edited by MarkBoxSpyCR on Tuesday 21st December 09:38 did you check that it's legal as it may be deemed as a show plate which isn't?

Happy New Year B25 lovers. I hope you’ve been suitably exercising your cars over the festive break. I have now done over 500 miles, so over a quarter of the way to the full beans! I thought some of you may be interested in these cutaway images. Those of you on Rennlist may already have seen them. Basically this guy over in the US has taken the core images from Porsche and with some hard work on Photoshop has produced an adaptive configuration to match your car (so, colour, wheels, gearbox, seats, etc.) You send off your Porsche code and he adapts the image to match your car. I did this and am pretty chuffed. I am going to get it framed and up on the wall in the garage. You can also get that images for engine, gearbox etc that Porsche produce. If you’re interested, here’s the URL for the thread. You PM Randy and he sorts it out for you. I’m not connected by the way, but just thought some of you might be interested. https://rennlist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12674...

Saw these and they look great except I don't think it will work in black/black as it loses too much detail

L.Len said: It’s fabulous. But getting something else this month and can’t afford both. I know I’ll regret in the spring/summer would get more but needs must. What a colossal waste of time that was then in ordering it from new.

Ouch. Is/was this anyones here? https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/70057061/

kmpowell said: Ouch. Is/was this anyones here? https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/70057061/ WOW...they really lost that one. Serious bump/slide probably in the wet, slimy roads we have now. A good lesson for us all to warm the tyres up or get Winters on.

A few for sale at present.. Can't see myself selling mine, they drive brilliantly. Deserves all the accolades.

The person that owns the car may well have enjoyed the ordering/speccing, taking delivery experience, then putting a few miles on it and may even turn a small profit when he sells. Whats not to like?

You can see proof of that on here actually 981SPYGANG. I sat back and watched the comments for weeks and now I have the car I cannot think of any reason I would want to flip it other than ill health which god forbid! The problem as I see it is that the dealers do not to stop it because surprise surprise they benefit too.

Took so long to get the car and the premium commanded privately does not appear to be that high. Anyway mine is a keeper bought it too enjoy it..

This ☝️☝️ Also, what's somewhat amusing if not annoying for actual owners is that each time a new one is listed, it's done so at a lower price than the previous one. Great way to devalue these awesome cars 🙄

I didn't think these were trading at a premium so why would they attract flippers? I just got a call from my OPC asking if I wanted one as they have one to allocate.

Seems all 718 4.0's PDK's are trading at a premium, (especially at OPC's), probably due to short supply/long lead times. My OPC in London could have sold their allocation of B25's many fold. I thought all the cars had been built. The one you mention must be a B26 lol..

I've just past 2200 miles in mine and starting to explore its full capabilities. I thought the base 2.0 I had was pretty good but this one is on another level so based on that alone there's no way I'm selling regardless of values. The bonus is that it's the only Porsche I've had that has prompted positive comments from random people at petrol stations and car parks, apart from the current Macan but that's usually about the colour (Voodoo Blue), so it's a happy car too - my happy car

blackmamba said: I just got a call asking if I wanted one. Try them (West London) If it’s at list and unregistered, somebody’s in for a cracking deal, judging by the market conditions and used prices. They really do drive brilliantly. When you’re on it they are so agile and nimble and the noise is fantastic. I’m a manual guy, but the PDK suits the car better imo.

Anyone waiting for a 718 4 litre is in for a treat, but they already know that. The duality of the car is a bit of a surprise. Also the standard stereo isn’t that bad. It isn’t drowned out with the roof down at 70 and going up and down the gears.

Some pics now it's been polished...

Personally I think it's out of order any PC selling any car over list just greedy. Should be a law against it.

My friend's car has arrived, can't wait to try it!

Looks good I bet you can't wait to try it. I thought all allocations and delivers and been done. Still enjoy.

Well, my friend has taken delivery of his 25 and I got a half-hour drive this afternoon. Limited to 4000RPM to respect the running-in procedure, but all I can say is, what a car! I was blown away, it just feels so...right. Here it is:

Congratulations. If you think its good now wait until you've run it in, I've just passed 3k miles in mine and its absolutely brilliant at full chat

So the other half picked her 25 up this week and really doesnt like the look of the wheels (i have to agree to be honest) now i know they are a nod to the original design but i think im going to get another set to put on it. My question is will a set off GTS wheels fit it? Im thinking they should but just want to make sure before i get another set painted gold. Edited by Boo12345 on Sunday 10th April 22:57

Edited by Boo12345 on Sunday 10th April 22:57 I would go for a set of HRE alloys. Expensive but they are lovely.
