Been for sale for a while.............

Is that just the lack of buckets or is there more to it?

I nearly bought it but didn’t in the end. I've not seen it but i do know that the OPC has prep'd the car to a very high standard. From all the emails and images i received from the OPC i wouldn’t have any issue buying it if i wanted the R. I guess the normal seats, slightly high miles, rear wiper and maybe colour is the off putting factor.

No SportsChrono package by the look of things, which means no dynamic transmission mounts. A lot of people deem that to be essential.

Does anyone know how much a pair of buckets cost and where to source?

I'm sure I read on here that the OEM ones are circa £6k..........

Yep........they came as standard in the R but some people swapped them out for chairs!

I've never seen that discussed on anybody's wish list I must say, in fact I wasn't even aware that dynamic transmission mounts was an option on the R.

I suspect as said above, lack of buckets is more the issue, mileage isn't particularly high. Silver is also not very desirable.

Pretty sure the dynamic engine mounts came in with the 981

[V800MJH]

I've never seen or heard of an R with dynamic mounts either.

Probably only an option on the latest model.

Maybe I have the only one in the country!

in a dream may be.

[Beanoir]

Its true, unless added as an aftermarket non-Porsche upgrade Dynamic Engine or transmission mounts were not an option on the 987.

It did come as part of the Sport Chrono Package on the 981/991 I believe, so perhaps a delaer has advertised incorrectly as my guess?

I thought this would be worth a thread revival

[Sarnie]

I posted a link to that when it was for sale privately.......it's the only red R interior I've ever seen.......

[fridaypassion]

I can still see the seats when I blink

[Dan911]

Pretty sure that's the ex Porsche Silverstone track R.

If you YouTube the Silverstone experience day, there is a video of a black PDK Cayman R with red trim.

[Beanoir]

there were a few launch cars with red interior, a number of the magazine tests done back then were in cars with red interior also. I seem to remember the Top Gear magazine being a white car with red interior.

Who's going to ask about the 'Company Director's package'...does it come with 21" collar shirt?

That must be for the powerfully built company director. I believe most company directors in Yorkshire fit into that particular category.

Looks like a Big person has been sitting in the drivers seat ....and at just 21K miles
