The all leather ones are a tad cheaper.

Spyders looking good in Prescott hill pic.

The silver/red one looks nice, nearly went for that combo before going for white.

It was a Bugatti Owners Club breakfast meet at Prescott Hill Climb (their HQ). Porsche were the invited club this month. The events are open to all cars though.

Should have bought the Spyder I had a deposit down on two years ago. It only had 1,000 miles on the clock and perfect spec; opted for the Cayman R instead, which was a stunning car, but done that now, and really want the Spyder. One with the perfect spec (or just one at all) will turn up eventually wink

One could turn up now if you want to pay 55k :-)

Ok ok, should have said "at realistic prices", though who knows where they might be heading... wink

Yes it is that one, from the Jaguar dealership in Leeds. I think I got a pretty good deal on it despite the high ish miles. It's in very good condition considering....

Spec is nav/bluetooth and heated sports seats which wouldn't have been my preference if ordered new but I'm not complaining. I'm tempted to install a GT3 bucket seat just on the drivers side, but would that look awful? Everyone I've mentioned that to thinks it's a terrible idea but I think it could look racey. Can't do both sides as the missus loves the heated seat.

They now come heated. Got them on my GT3 (to keep the Mrs happy!)

Another upside - if, which I assume, you weigh a lot more than the wife, it will balance out the weight for her to have a heavier seat. Likewise when you are the only person in the car...

I like your reasoning there. Having looked at it I'm not sure I could afford two GT3 seats anyway lol!! There are some lookie likey EurocupGT ones

I'd say go for the one seat option, I reckon any sports car feels much better when you're driving in a bucket seat, the spyder perhaps more so as the Porsche carbon buckets are so special. I've been using mine this way for a few years now and its a good combination, sticking the wife in the comfort seat has lots of advantages, and really no disadvantage as no one will even notice having mis matched seats unless they are scrutinising your car.

Edit: saying that I have matching alcantara on both sets of seats so blends in biggrin
