From what I can gather it was advertised over a year ago for a while by Ashgood and had a few stone chips, they sold it to private individual who had it for around six months and sold it to the company it’s at now, it definetely seems to get flipped a lot and hence 9 previous owners with last owner only having for six months.

Can anyone remember what it was advertised for at Ashgood please?

Just PM'd you Andrew...

I seem to recall Spyders were in the high 30s/low 40s around that time, like the R. that said, lets say it was 38/39 even 40K would that put the potential buyer now off?

In today’s market 40k for a manual Spyder with buckets is a bargain and I’d buy it, 45k because of the miles it’s gotta be perfect I need to view car as the paint looks swirly abs interior worn on some of photos so need view it and if in person the wear is there it’s drop the price or walk time.

I am contemplating getting into Porsche again, previous car was a 997.1 C2S aerokit car which drove amazingly well.
I spotted a 1of1 Peridot green GT4 for sale on FB at £68,000 that looked incredible but I was too slow and it sold.

Its your lucky day. it is back ..

Depends on what else they’re offering in the deal…
But it makes a change from seeing private sales at dealer prices…

Hi there

Done a deal on the black car.

It needs a new battery, dealer is paying but instead of plonking in another 22-25kg factory size battery, I see guys in the US fit the Interstate MT47 which is a plug and play fit which nearly shaves 10kg:

Is there anything similar in the UK from Bosch that fits great and weighs around 15kg?

Congratulations!

Spoke to a guy at a Motorshow about these, looked good, but ended up selling the car..

Hi there

Has anyone here installed a softronic tune on a Cayman R / Spyder on a stock car, any noticeable gains please?

F'ing £350-£620 for a battery?? Pretty sure I would never be that bothered about saving weight on my road car.

The person who can help you with 987 spyder tune is no longer on here but with a bit of searching you will be able to find out more, believe he achieved 360hp with manifolds etc

Comparing it to the cost per kg weight saving via a Weissach pack on the 7.2 RS it may look rather good value for money

That's cheap, if a job's worth doing, do it ...

As you say, good spec, shame the owner has the photographic skills of amoeba

After a wait of over 18 months was told yesterday that my Spyder is built. When it arrives it will be the 5th Spyder to carry P900 SPY
