Whilst I loved the 981 Cayman S, I fancied a bit more go.

A 3.8 engined Cayman would suit me fine, but since I missed the boat on the GT4, there is no PDK option (till today!) and the wing at the back is a bit too much for a daily driver, I bit the bullet and got a 991 GTS.

I wasnt looking for a cab, but Porsche Bournemouth pulled together a cracking deal on this demo car.. Absolutely love it.

Note the corroded centre caps are due to be replaced wink

Thanks. Agreed on the roof. The main top section is hard which I guess helps..

Caps looked to be some sort of reaction to wheel cleaner. New set on order by the dealer. NINE HUNDRED QUID!

Thanks. Biased but agree - wasnt a fan on the 997, but think 991 does look good.

Do they all have the old-school spoiler/grille thingy? Looks amazing.

Love the retro stuff on new Porsches - remember the Fuchs alloys on the Sport Classic? Fantastic.
Which bit? Bit between the lights in black is a GTS thing - red light on the 4, black grille on the 2....

Thanks folks.

Was a bit worried about the blue vents thing, but actually they are quite subtle. If I had spec'd the car and been buying it new I certainly would not have paid EIGHT HUNDRED for them!

Seriously stunning! The 991 is the best looking for many generations imo!

Pricey tho....

They have gone horrible and milky probably due to the wheel cleaning product the centre has used on them. A new set are on order courtesy of the centre....

Thanks.

Was worried about the vents. As agreed I would never have paid it myself, but in the flesh it is quite subtle and a little bit different!
