I saw this Spyder at the 70th anniversary day in Tankersley in 2018, was it you?
Seeing this spyder in person set me on my path to purchasing one smile

A photo I took from the day.. hope you don't mind.
I bought one back in January from Sheffield, gt silver with satin platinum wheels and the classic spyder interior.
Sadly not had much of chance to use it, patiently waiting.

Compliments the car so well.

Not at all....
Nice car...looked at silver and blue before I found mine purely by being in the right place at the right time .....was blown away when I first saw her drive out of the then owners garage 😀
I guess your not too far from Tank Manor ...when this is over we will have to have a convoy 😀

I knew I recognised that car! Was parked a few cars down from it at the Porsche OC meet in August '17 - deserved a photo of it's own, at the time Ha ha:

I use a product that gives it a real wet look

I apply it after wash & blow dry is done and dusted however the product can be applied to a wet car before drying it off and that's how I do my daily drivers

The end result is identical look & feel wise but I am happy to use this product on all my cars every time they get cleaned despite the manufacturer claiming it can last up to 3 months! I have never tested that claim as it only adds a few minutes to my car cleaning session and costs are minimal but I can confirm when my daily is out and about in filthy weather the rain & dirt does run off like a just polished car should do even when its an entire wet week furious
