Yes it certainly was my car you parked your lovely 997 Turbo S next to at Longcross. Charlie showed me a picture of the two together! What a coincidence!
Thanks for everyone elses comments, they are really appreciated.
Regarding the PPF- i am incredibly fortunate the original owner PPF'd the whole car at new before collection at Porsche Reading.
My car is looked after by Toapz on their wash scheme, it gets a wash once per month by them as i just don't have time to do it regularly and when it was detailed before the first wash they remarked that their own PPF film has advanced a long way since 2012, so i am considering having the whole car re-filmed by them next year. It has made a lot of difference to the way the car is holding up visually having the whole car PPF'd and Topaz keeing on top of the washing.
I am taking the car back to Bristol from London for its service. I trust them and they treat very well. I am sorry Sam the salesman has moved on but i've been down for a service since he left and it is still a really great OPC- reasonably priced and very thorough.

I priced up the supply only of a kit to do the front of my 997 and it was over a $1000!
It seems there is a bit of a closed shop in the UK for buying the film and the kits.
I know there seems to be a 'black art' to applying the stuff but some of the pricing is eye watering!
