Looks alright but not the spec you're after. I don't think I've ever seen one that isn't either black or white. Shame really.

I think he’s looking for a 981 not a 987 based on the original post. Not a bad car that though. I would say the amount available isn’t unusual; there weren’t that many made so there’s never a massive selection to choose from. Next time your perfect spec does come up snap it up ASAP!Looks alright but not the spec you're after. I don't think I've ever seen one that isn't either black or white. Shame really.
I think these cars are with a mixture of owners . Some who have the car as a long term keeper and some owners have the car for a summer then move on having ticked that box.
I have had mine from new .march 16. Still no intention to sell. So maybe i am not alone there.
some people , Well 1 ex owner on here ,doesnt rate the car. But as a 2nd car to own and enjoy it is a good ,sensible fit for many.

Don't forget that person was conned into buying a marmite spec 981 Spyder in order to secure a GT3 allocation. They didn't go out and buy one because they really wanted one 
The 981 Spyder was a low volume production car that is very much loved by the vast majority of people. I'm not a convertible fan, but when I drove one I very much enjoyed it and I can see the appeal. Good examples will be held on to I'm sure!

As for marmite, way more 718 are classic speced inside I notice, it's quite a popular option now and the car was fully speced and in the best colour of white imo. It also sold pretty fast at Top 555 who I sold it too in the end.
I could have flipped it but ran it as a daily for about a year and all though a full winter, it's my other half fav car and I liked it as a life style car hence I ran it for a bit. Great looking thing, what it's not is a "drivers car" that's all but it was way better than your 981 GTS as an example wit ha faster rack and much bigger brakes and the 3.8.
I would buy another at £55k if they drop to that and just put 19" on it and do the 435BHP mod. Every car at a price becomes attractive and they are safe money to run about it, I sold mine with 12k miles which at the time was classed as high.
Always said it's a great car just don't agree with a lot of the hype on them that's all and vs the other cars I owned at the time, it was the 1st one to depart.

- lifestyle car lol
I found one.
Have owned over 15 porshe’s including GT3 RS and latterly 981 cayman GTS which I thought was a brilliant car.
Just sold my McLaren 540c and was going to sit tight for the winter but oh well!
I was planning to get a 981 GT4 but these sunny winters days could be a bit of fun with the roof down
Haven’t test driven but I have never test driven any car I have bought but the reviews are good and I always go back to Porshe in the end!

Congrats! What’s the spec? Fwiw I too have had a string of Porsches (incl 2x 981 GTS and 2x 981 Spyder) and more recently a McLaren 570s, based on our histories I think you will love it, I certainly did.Have owned over 15 porshe’s including GT3 RS and latterly 981 cayman GTS which I thought was a brilliant car.

Was going to say there was a red one at Porsche Guildford with buckets that I viewed before I bought mine from RPMHave owned over 15 porshe’s including GT3 RS and latterly 981 cayman GTS which I thought was a brilliant car.
