I think that's the only 981 GTS I've seen with the new style steering wheel. Has that been retrofitted?
yes, looks like the 718 wheel to me

the 981 had a multi function wheel option but the ones i've seen look very different to that

Picked my 981 Cayman GTS up from an OPC last week. Absolutely brilliant car and look forward to using it as intended!

-Agate Grey
-X73 suspension
-PCCBs
-Carbon Bucket Seats (heated)
-Burmester
-PDLS+

Previously owned a 987 Cayman S with some engine issues, hence Porsche Warranty was top of the list for this purchase!

Great looking car and a fantastic spec! Lovely. I'm sure you'll have many thoroughly enjoyable miles together.

That is one hell of a specification, especially the Burmeister.

that looks incredible, looks a bit like that 918 liquid metal finish in that light.
Buckets are rare in the 981 GTS.... you have scored a phenomenal car, congratulations!

Congrats. What a fantastic example, except for the manual box! Personally prefer PDK but that is an incredible car. Enjoy.

I don't suppose the previous owner of the blue Cayman in this picture is around?

Late to the game but congrats - hope you've been enjoying the car! Pretty much the same spec as mine, minus the buckets. How are you finding the X73?

Lots of options but a couple of significant omissions including heated seats and dual climate which I suspect would turn some off from paying the premium.

Lovely car but £5-7k over priced in current market and without those heated seats and duel climate could be a deal breaker for some.

think i would go for this, same price:

I was just thinking that looking at it. All that money initially and skimped on those two. Very odd.

it is a very great deal.

think that in Europe it is impossible to find a 991 TARGA with left-hand drive for less than £80,000 (but you can find a 981 GTS for 59000£)
