Lovely, but no ceramics, just the calipers (which is a big plus), but would've been better with the discs too...https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202208239...

Fully tricked out except fir AC and for that money you'd think they'd at least slap fresh rubber on as current tyres are 6 years old...https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202208239...

Preferred the Top Gear review with Ollie Marriage some months ago :
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qghjl2tJsoo
though I admit I find Ollie a lot easier to listen to than Harris, because pretty much everything Harris says and does these days feels like he’s acting as a PR agent for Singer, Collecting Cars, his mate’s who are selling their cars on CC, or his own cars that he’s selling on CC.
Watched this on Wednesday night, a full on cringe fest :
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ui4_K3CeTwA
And quite frankly, if this is the sort of individual buying Singers creations, I’m not sure I’d want to be part of “the family”, irrespective of whether I could afford one or not.
And this owner spouting pretentious twaddle only reinforces that perspective further :
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AxEzJ-jjFb0
What Dickinson has produced over the last 12-13 years are quite simply amazing 911’s, and I’d be the first to admit I aspire to own one like few other 911’s, let alone any other hypercar. But as I’ve said before, they appear to be bought by individuals who see them as Faberge eggs that all too often remain wrapped up in cotton wool, only to be shown off as trophies of their undoubted wealth, rather than driven as Dickinson intended.
A few pages back on this thread, someone mentioned a 997 Sport Classic that was used by its owner as a daily driver, and that the stunning interior hadn’t stood the test of time particularly well. Good on that owner I say, why have one of the best roadbiased 997’s produces and not drive it ?
Show me a few more Singer Classics and DLS’s covered in road grime with slightly battle weary interiors and well worn tyres, and my perception of their ownership demographic might change, but right now they appear nothing more than the accoutrements/trinkets of the well heeled Instagrammer/Youtuber looking to impress others, rather than enjoy what they were build for.

Whilst i completely see your point mate, we could say that about almost all the high end exotica. Most of it is carpark candy for the latest cars & coffee meet. Its all great to splash over IG while its the latest and greatest and as soon as the next GT product is out the cars get dropped like a hot potato.
All well and good affording a DLS at £2.2m but how many can afford that car and ant to be getting it dirty, stone chipped and the like. As you say, these cars are so expensive its hard to be able to enjoy them but like a piece of jewellery that's "kept for best" in the safe.

Very true, and such a shame that such exquisitely engineered cars aren’t used properly, rather than just rolled out for C’nC events.Whilst i completely see your point mate, we could say that about almost all the high end exotica.

Much as I hate writing these words, it's the right thing to do. I'm selling my Cayman R due to time being swallowed up by children and a job that requires a large chunk of travel.
It's Peridot, manual, sports exhaust, sport chrono, carbon buckets, full OPC service history (the last one in June of this year), just under 14k miles, black wheels.
Anyone on here interested before I start advertising in the usual places?
So the proposed buyer has had a change of personal circumstances which means my car is still available. I've just had the ECU checked for rev range by Porsche Centre at Stockport and it has spent all of its life in range 1 (under the red line). Any further interest?It's Peridot, manual, sports exhaust, sport chrono, carbon buckets, full OPC service history (the last one in June of this year), just under 14k miles, black wheels.

I'm looking for as close to £50k as I can get for the car but there is some room for negotiation. I fear that comments will come suggesting it's too much, over ambitious, etc. but the proposed buyer had an offer on the table close to this as soon as he had seen the car and without even starting it up.

Sorry to hear that news. I'll keep an ear out for you.I'm looking for as close to £50k as I can get for the car but there is some room for negotiation.

Compared to the others for sale at that price then yours is the lowest mileage and probably makes the others look all the more pricey.
Have you considered sale or return?
