To my eye that's a 4-year old previous generation Cayman for the price of - a brand new, up-to-date Cayman S.
Still, it's not my money.
what's a 993 RS then at £350k Still, it's not my money.
The thing is the 981 is not a drivers drive, it's a nice car, but drive an R and you feel like YOU are driving.
I would NOT swap my cars for the 981 non GT cars, nor would many owners hence the prices people pay for a better drive.
To complete the farce in pure ph fashion, all we need now is the owner of said car to post an extended essay here as to how its a 'comparative bargain' to other pork, extol the virtues of it being a lightweight limited run car, values will only ever go one way etc etc, before proceeding to log back in under a number of separate user names and post profusely to basically completely agree with himself. You couldn't make it up!

What farce?I don't doubt this will sell at £50k at some point personally. Just not now.
Perhaps in 6 months when you can no longer get hold of a F6 981. Then this would start to make more sense.
Whilst I fully accept the R is a great drivers car, for this kind of money most people would buy new. That just leaves the demographic that are buying the car for its legacy and its analogue nature. And most likely want to collect it. Could be a long wait.
Personally I would to find the extra cash and buy a CGTS (assuming I didn’t have one already) and or deep a little deeper into my pockets and get a flipped GT4.
Otherwise you may as well buy a cheaper R example if you intend to run it as a DD or just for weekend/track fun.
