All this talk of it being stolen doesn't make me feel confident

Oh, I think it is just a single day, but the car strictly speaking isn't new, it was registered by the dealer and used by the manager, so unsure I would have got it unless I asked.

i looked(not physically) at the black spyder opc sussex back in december but they took the p*ss out of me for my trade in.got £5k more elsewhere and a newer car ie 2012 model and not a 2011 ,similar spec less the full leather.they also wanted £54k whereas i got mine for £50k so the p*ss take was to the tone of £9k.funny i tried haggling hard but they said to me it would sell easily come end of feb. never deal with them again. nothing wrong with the car maybe over specd for a spyder and must bear in mind it is over a year old now so i wouldnt pay more than £44k even though delivery miles

couple of things i have a white spyder no stone guards fitted and have noticed this on other spyders/R? also mine has vts although not activated(apparently all dealer specd cars have this fitted for their insurance)but i do not have any transponders or paperwork for it?

Well, that was a sleepless night, but setting off shortly on a looooong journey! Should have the car in about 5 hours!

That's the one

Had a couple of drives off it, very nice.

Agree on the red interior though, looks nice from a distance but to live with?

Long drive over, car was as described and now back home; absolutely delighted with it, though took it easy on the return to see what mpg it will do, managed 32mpg which is ok. Such a lovely looking motor and amazingly comfortable, didn't feel fatige or any pain in the bucket seats.

Just a couple of matters to sort, seem to have a small rattle to my right to find and although the aircon/climate was set to LOW all the way back, we didn't feel cold, so not sure that is performing well. Fortunately it has a warranty to cover those things though still a pain.

Need to contact the dealer tomorrow though as unsure why I've not received any V5; maybe you don't get one or the dealer has held it by accident, not sure?

Will try for some pics tomorrow, 10 hours driving and rain on the way grrrr

Amazing car, amazing!

Cayman R from Colchester; fantastic service from start to finish. Bought it based on sales guy describtion and paid a very good price otherwise I'd not have done it, as it was a stretch anyway.

12 plate with some amazing options that I wouldn't have picked but will certainly help residuals like PCM and BOSE; plus a nice surprise, full dash leather which looks simply stunning. Yes it might add to the weight and go against the concept of the car, but as air-con is spec'd on 99% of them anyway, a bit of cow hide isn't going to make much difference, and it still goes like sh*t!!!

I'm not a showy person though, hate the attention, which made standstill traffic on the M6 a little embarrasing as EVERYONE was looking and putting thumbs up! When the traffic cleared, I did thank them with some rapid acceleration with PSE on

I'll get some photos up tomorrow.

MTR

IMHO R has a superbly well-judged ride /handling balance and is more special than an 'S' for about the same money.

I'm not sure if this was intended or not, so please excuse me for pointing it out but why would you tell a guy who's just bought a car, that he's bought the wrong one and should have bought a different one instead?

I could understand if he was seeking opinion prior to purchase but once he's confirmed he has already picked it up, what possible benefit is there?

bought my first car from colchester and all my cars are serviced by them and no complaints with there service dept. they are the ones who replaced my engine foc for my 986s out of warranty so you will not have any problems
