Had mine into the OPC for an early minor service today.
After 8.3k of assorted miles, good to see my brakes are still in good shape.
Will need to replace the rear boots in the next 1k or so but fronts still good.

Roll on the spring !!!

8.3 k very impressive - I thought 6.2 was good

My Spyder on about 1400 miles.

My Spyder on about 1400 miles.

About 6600 smiles. All but about 500 of them with the roof down.

How realistic???
White 987 Spyder with PCCB, PSE, Carbon buckets, Manual and a rough price! Any other option worth considering?
Thank you

Are PCCB's a must?

I was a bit impatient to get mine run in, so quickly put on the first 2k, then a Euro tour added nearly another 3k.
So it feels strange to have put on over 8k when it's actually spent the majority of the year in its garage.

Just booked this years tour, taking in Bruges, Nurburgring, factory tour, Stelvio, Lake Garda, Swiss Alps and home
So guess I will be adding a few more miles this season.........

Bring on the sunshine !!

Low mileage will be high forties or even early fifties? You need the right wheels as well and probably manual?

I could raise that to 2 Spyders, although one of them isn't mine unfortunately !

Every car has a price and there are only about 3 or 4 cars with the 6 pots brakes and PCCB in that spec, which do make the car as the only weak spot in the 987.2 cars is the smaller brake set up.
I am holding out though as I think the cars will only go up and I love it too much to sell it under priced, every thing I seem to sell goes up 6 months later.

we all doing the pic thing again ;-)

Has anyone owned both generations ? How do they compare ? I know the roof mechanism is much improved on the later car but not intending to drive the car with the roof up! No interest in PDK first gen either.
