I am assuming when you say cheap you don't mean the silver/red one at £19K

Based on my 8yrs experience, you'll have a flat battery.

If you're lucky it will be in hibernation mode. Depends on how old/state of your battery. If possible (own garage) leave the trunk open to have access to the battery.

Wheels off a Boxster maybe because arch gap at rear looks way off.

It'll be fine. I've left mine for a month and whilst the cranking is a tiny bit slow, it fires up instantly.

If it doesn't, fix it until it does.

Slow crank are signs of battery getting to end of life. Also, earth strap may need a clean. Bad start when hot, then check y-lead running from alternator/starter/jump post :-)

The battery is new. The reason it was slow to crank? It was -4 so the oil was thick.

I don't have a problem here! The OP was asking whether they can leave the car for a short length of time..

This looks ok, I think I'd like it a little cheaper to sort out the niggles it has. MOT history isn't too bad either

[Dammit]

Just me or is it a lot higher at the front than it is at the back?

I'd also ask the seller if they have the original wheel still.

Seems expensive. Is that steering wheel OE?

[LaurasOtherHalf]

This one looks nice

Early Guards Red Manual with nice mileage and history. Bidding to £10.5k without hitting reserve.

I think it's one of the Raid wheels that Gert Carnewal sells (or sold, he seems to be running down his stock).
