Cayman R Owners please. Advice on finding a car!

[Matty_B]

Good morning all,

It seems I am guilty of breaking the forum rules, in putting up a thread for a wanted Cayman R. And so my thread has been removed. So I thought I would start another one, this time from a slightly different angle.

Obviously I am after one, and would be interested in hearing from any PH members who own them. But just as importantly, I'm very interested in any info and advice current R owners may have when it comes to finding the right car. I'm pretty set on getting a manual with bucket seats, as I think this best reflects the cars intentions.


So all this chat about how many R's there are out there, and in what colours got me thinking....!

So I've just been onto howmanyleft.co.uk to see how many cars were registered in the UK.

According to the site, and looking at the new registrations data for each model, it comes up with the following info:

Cayman R (Manual)

2011 - 74
2012 - 41
Total - 115

Cayman R S-A (PDK)

2011 - 83
2012 - 58
Total - 141

Assuming this is accurate. Which I believe it is, as it draws it's data directly from the DVLA. A total of 256 Cayman R models were registered in the UK in 2011/12. With the split being fairly even, but slightly favoring the PDK cars.

Does this sound right to those of you in the know?
115 manual cars, with an unknown amount ordered with the standard fit bucket seats. Now all I need is for one to come up for sale in the next week or so, at the right money!biggrin

Thanks in advance chaps, and happy motoring!
