sorry mr demon but 230 not 212.
141 were regd new in 2010 and 89 in 2011 also maybe a couple of overs for 2012.
this is using the dvla website,checkout veh0160(all cars regd new anually since 2001 to 2011 updated 4/12. 2012 figures will be out4/13)
the how many left website can be slightly inaccurate and misleading better looking at the dvla website

itsybitsy said: nice what spec have you got Hi Not much more than you can see - the standard carbon seats and it does have a CD radio. oh and cup holders.... Odd thing about cup holders why would you feel the need to say 'YES I want them fitted'? what's wrong with the floor? They did amuse my engineering obsessed friend though. While I'm about it, does anyone know if fitting a USB plug is a mammoth job. It has a AUX which does not seem as easy to use. If only it would stop raining!

Enjoy your Spyder, they are great cars.
Last time we did a roll call I think we got to about 30 people on here.
I am currently using my OPC's 61 plate Boxster S PDK whilst a fault with the fuel gauge on mine is being repaired and it really is remarkable how different the cars feel (although the roof on the S has been brilliant in the rain!)

Cup holders essential.
Where else would I put me coffee?
Can hardly tell they're there but they must weigh an absolute ton...
