Well done, nice choice. Amazing perseverance.

I nearly buckled a few times and bought something else.

Pretty happy with the car;

2012 Car
Carrara White
Black Spyder Wheels
PDK
PCM
PSE
Buckets
Xenons
Chrono
Automatic Air Con
Sound Package Plus
Universal Audio
Floor mats
Cup holders
Rear park Assist
Tyre Pressure monitoring System
Bluetooth

Also, the car was bought as an Approved Porsche car in April 2014, so it has Porsche Warranty till April 2016.

Didn't tick the bike rack box then?

Seriously, sounds nice - good work!

Apparently a manual conversion is possible though...

Manuals are so 80's

Gonna spend most of the day cleaning it I think, lots of muck on it from all that Scottish Highland snow yesterday!!!

lets hope we can get a R meet going in 2015, never happened before

be good to get 15 cars together.

I'd be up for it, I nominate Birmingham as the venue as it's the middle of the country.

And where I live.

Nice spec - apart from the Playstation gear shifts.

Ha!

Well, as I found out, you literally can't have everything it seems, unless you timewarp back to 2011 and order one new!

On another positive note, the front end is fully Paintshielded (if thats even a word) too!

[Sarnie]

I'm not sure my car has ever seen a clay bar!!!

[Sarnie]

Has no AC and had been on the PH classifieds for about a month at £39,999..................spoke to JZM at the start of the week and they said they'd been offered this car but turned it down purely because of the lack of AC and wouldn't even consider another without AC after having a few they they couldn't get rid of..............

Mermaid said:

2k'ish to retro-fit

Thats a lot of cash just for something like AC, imo.....

How much for a set of Spyder wheels too? Factor in the price for those and fitting a/c....plus selling the Turbo 2 wheels on eBay, it might add up ok?

I could only find somewhere in America selling them for £2k a set plus postage and import duty and VAT etc.....and they were in Silver only, no partially painted black ones..........

[Sarnie]

FrankCayman said:

Wow, I didn't realise they were that rare.

I'm sure Porsche would sell you some for about £4k!

Founds some strange things wedged under my passenger seat today whilst cleaning;

Not a great advert for the dealers prep department!

Bought it private but still!

Very strange though......

Sounds like it was a great morning though

I found this car for sale on a indy's site about a month ago. Nearly fell off my chair as I love yellow cars and have never seen a yellow one for sale, it's now on Autotrader;

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

However, it has no Chrono, PSE, AC and then I found this;

It was obviously another PEC car like the red one for sale;

Shame!
