Maybe, but very few of these around compared to GT4 and IMHO , in its own way, it's just as good - it will be a test that's for sure - time will tell http://locator.porsche.com/ipl-customer/ipl/detail...

Yes!http://locator.porsche.com/ipl-customer/ipl/detail...
But if someone is willing to play that? As others have said, time will tell.
I suppose for me it's the fact that an OPC, one owned by PUK, is selling this car more than £20k over list and at a figure circa £10k more than anyone else, therefore attempting to make and push the market... Just feels rather unbecoming of an OPC, more the behaviour you'd expect from a high end indi.

The person that pays that sticker price has no interest in the true value of the car. I don't think that sale will tell you anything, given its location.
Why assume it will be bought by say an over affluent city 'hedge fund manager' buying on a whim whilst walking past the showroom?More likely to be bought by an enthusiast from the opposite end of the country.

I'd guess it's more likely a greedy seller who has seen the lack of stock and is trying his luck at an outrageous price on SOR. wellzee said:

How critical are buckets in the Spyder? Anymore or less so than the GT4?
I know they were standard.
Granted chairs are easier for access, given the toy/weekend nature of the Spyder I can't help feeling buckets would be a huge miss?
The folding buckets were 'free' on the Spyder but the newer Spyder type buckets were a relatively expensive extra. I know they were standard.

Plenty of info on the GT4 thread on the benefits and drawbacks of each type.
I wouldn't touch a Porsche GT or Spyder without buckets and find the folding buckets perfect for the car, more comfortable than the sports seats.... plus they can be heated (unlike the Spyder buckets), which is essential, in a cab.
Gt4s without buckets are unsurprisingly harder to sell and worth considerably less. Likely not as crucial with the Spyder.

In a 981 not critical at all it seems looking at the sales as I have however this seems contrary to the 987 version where they are most coveted. I dont have them in mine and thats not to say I think the folding bucket is the nicest seat overall. Yes buckets seem more important to GT4 buyers than 981 spyder buyers at the moment. I know they were standard.

Folks,
As unfortunately my 987 Spyder spends the majority of its time in my garage, I was looking for recommendations on an indoor cover.
I think part of the problem is that I need new garage doors (as there are gaps in the top/bottom) and whenever I put the car away clean, the next time I take it out there is always a small film of dust over the car.
I know that Porsche do an indoor cover for £200 but was wondering if there are any recommendations for other firms that would supply the Spyder.
The only nuance is that my battery charge (CTEK) sits on the windscreen but suppose I could get the interior battery cigarette lighter connection instead

I What colour are standard hoops ?
They are always red. This was OK on my Guards Red Spyder but always (imo) look a little out of place on any other colour. Particularly if the car has PCCB's.I realise now, rereading your post, that you were talking about the roll over hoops. Sorry
However I still wonder why the made all the Hood hooks red?
