George,
I am prepared to go anywhere for the right car no problem with that. I also want PSE, I did offer on the Mc Gurk car to allow for painting wheels black and 2 new tyres but they wouldn't do the deal as they were getting lots of enquiries. I was a little wary as it is a 2010 car out of warranty in March and by the time add 2 years porsche warranty the car would be up to £37k ish and I missed two 2011 cars at that money.
Thanks for the offer of viewing a car I am in Essex so that could be useful.

I offered on the McGurk car too, it needed tyres apparently but they were too slow in coming back to me and when they did the deal wasn't great. They've had it a while and I'm surprised that car and the Maundrell one are still available. Have you looked at that one (the Maundrell car)?I am prepared to go anywhere for the right car no problem with that.

I went to look at the McGurk car and the best deal for me was 34k.I'll sell mine at 45k tee hee
has Porsche warranty and new tyres as well :-)
joking aside, you could wait for ever for the right spec/car (only 2 cars in my spec) , I have been trying to get a Cayman R for 6 months in the right spec, none came up.
And when the GT3 sold I had to buy some thing and still no nice Cayman R's to buy. (very fussy about spec) :-)
The best Cayman R i saw but could not move on it quick enough was a Viper Green PTS car with every option, some one has a very very rare Cayman R in Viper green.
never seen it posted on any forum either or at any shows.
How any one can say the Spyder will not be a future classic is daft, it has rare classic writen all over it, it much rarer than a GT3.
any way who owns this ?

It’s quite interesting to see that there seem to be a few Caterham owners moving into Spyders. I made the jump 2 years ago, and haven’t been at all unhappy with that decision (even after 15 years of owning a Seven). Could it be that the Spyder is a bit like a Caterham with added luxury? This is as opposed to the majority (more “sensible” types) who think the roof is a bit of a faff and therefore don’t get it?

I have not looked at the Maundrell car, although black is not a definate no I would prefer White or Silver and in my opinion they are asking too much for a Jan 10 car (Y reg). By the time you put a OP Warranty on it you are up to £38K and the 2011 Silver / Aqua Blus cars sold for that money. Thanks for the pointer though. LeeSGBrown said:

I have my Seven for 9 years. I expect the Spyder to be similar in performance/handling with a bit of added luxury like not smelling of oil when you get out of it which will enable me to commute in it occassionally. My Seven was a HPC Vaux 2L with twin 45's.
Bit of a trend....
Had Elise, loved it. Went to Cayman S, appreciated it but didn't really gel with it. Missed Elise.
Got Spyder, love it. No longer miss Elise.
The spyder is a grown up Elise in many ways, helped along by the roof.
I can easily see why Elise, exige or caterham owners would see the appeal.

I went Elise 111R to Spyder, and love it, although if I'm honest I do miss my Lotus sometimes...plus need to scratch my 911 itch one day...!
I reckon it's on for classic status in the future. Especially reading about everyone on here scrambling for them when they go on sale!
I'd sell mine for the right price! (black/manual/buckets)

No PCM or Buckets, wheels should be black...Perhaps I should have bought one new!!!
Does anyone know if PCM and Buckets can be installed after market and costs please?
