Porsche 987 Boxster Spyder Purchase

Looks like a nice, very quiet, car park. Good idea to take up a couple of spaces to avoid dings - I'd have been on pins!

Looks fab. Congratulations.

Picked up the car yesterday.

Took this picture in the Oracle car park in Reading, as we went to see "The Impossible". First time I have come away from the cinema wishing I had not been.

Rear visibility is pretty bad but that's shocking parking all the same!!

I think someone should lift that pic and put it in the 'Bad parking thread' in GG.

so somewhere at the start of this post i was laughed at suggesting that i would not let my spyder go for less than 40-45k.well cars are selling mid winter and what i have noticed on the opc site prices are going up and its still winter and the top priced one has the wrong seats.this tells you volumes about the car period

[quote=TB303]40-45k for a spyder? Good luck. The one at the Bentley dealership won't sell at £33k.

found it

My new baby arriving Friday. Not seen it in the flesh so can't wait to pick it up. Bought from OPC Leicester and done a deal with them to add PSE and Chrono without the wart. Manual with short shifter, buckets, PSM and no air con! Roll on Friday.

That didn't even make it onto their website.

It's a new shade I was helping Porsche develop called patina A453!

Don't worry, it's all shiny again now

I live Essex so a bit of a trek to collect but looking forward to the drive home. Black wheels were a must for me and would have had them painted if they weren't, personal preference though. Think I paid top dollar for it at £40,500 but don't care after missing a few and it's the spec I wanted plus got them to carry out the 2 year service which wasnt due till end May in with price and as OPC comes with 2 years peace of mind. 1st March Friday so hopefully sun is in its way and can't see any bargains to be had now before next winter!

It was listed on OPC website Friday late and I dealt in it Saturday pm. It was the right spec and i wasn't going to miss another!

[mrdemon]

seems a OK price to me you have had 3,2k worth of bolt ons added.

these are hard to find in a nice spec, you have to pay to play :-) with rare cars.

[Zyp]

I think you got that cheap!

Worth at least £45k.

In England with work for 6 weeks........ Please stop posting pics, I miss my spyder and really want to drive it.

Couldn't bring it to explore the evo triangle, which is only bout 1.5-2hrs away.
