2010 Porsche Cayman (987.2) Manual

Highlights

• Punchy 2.9-litre flat-six and the gearbox you want

• Three former keepers, in current ownership since April 2024

• Comprehensive service history with Porsche main dealer and specialist invoices

• HPI clear

• Current MOT with no advisories, valid until January 2027

Overview

The second-generation 987 Cayman is widely regarded as one of the finest driver's cars of its era. Porsche's decision to increase the base engine capacity to 2.9 litres for the 2009 update gave the standard Cayman 265bhp and a broader spread of torque. Paired with the six-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive and that sublime mid-engined chassis, it's a combination that delivers genuine driver engagement every time you turn the key.

This 2010 example is finished in Silver Metallic and has covered a genuine 36,235 miles from new. It comes with a reassuring service history that begins at the Porsche main dealer and continues through respected independent specialists. The bodywork is consistent across all panels, the grey leather interior shows minimal wear, and it presents in very good condition throughout.

If you're after a properly maintained, low-mileage 987.2 Cayman with the engaging manual gearbox, we think this one is well worth a closer look.
