I am thinking about buying a used 911 Carrera S (991.2). The vendor has kindly provided me with all sorts of documentation, from which I have gleaned that the car was first 'owned' by Porsche Group Operations Centre PRG, Reading in late 2015.
However, it's first registration (from the V5) was to a private owner in April 2016, some 4 months later.
This makes me suspicious, but I'm not sure what of. Questions:
- What might explain the gap between import and first registration?
- Who/what is Porsche Group Operations Centre PRG?
My worry is that it was used as a track car at the Silverstone PEC. Are the cars there road registered? Don't they keep them longer than 4 months? If it was at the PEC, what kind of mileage might it rack up in 4 months.
Answers/theories welcome.
991.2 - the missing months
Maybe it was a showroom car for a few months and is that just another name for Porsche's GB HQ, co-located with OPC Reading?

Maybe worth phoning your local OPC and asking them. Mention that you are buying a private sale 911 but will use them for future servicing
They should be able to explain the history of the car ?
