I was more thinking the red and green, quite a bold combo - haven't seen that before.

That's a very rare car, it's even got the hallowed rear wiper option, that was only offered on the Cayman R to Porsche VIP customers who had bought a Carrera GT and had Walter Rolhs mobile number.

I think frayz was probably being a little sarcastic too. I'm on 2-3 times a night now, but still rocking manual shift and bucket seats in at least one of my cars. Can still remember telling my Dad that he was too old to enjoy his 1989 964 properly before he was 55 years old. At 55 myself now, I probably had a point, but let's ignore that. I'd love a Cayman R if I could figure out an excuse.

Peridot with red leather would be a stretch though...

in fact, that combo is so rare, dare I say it, a veritable 1 of 1, it qualifies for the special £10k price bump, otherwise known as the CRPGPP (cayman R python green pisstake premium)

Its back!!! I wonder if the work it needed was carried out by the most recent owner.

I don't believe there is a Python green Cayman R in existence, you're possibly confusing Python with the Viper Green R?

That is one of one and a truly special car in the flesh having seen it. Perfectly specced as well by all accounts.

Although I haven’t contributed much to the forum, I’ve enjoyed reading everyone’s chat whilst owning my Cayman R. I’ve been to many car shows and only ever seen one other and it happened to be the same black and silver. Delightfully I have a young child but sadly this means the Cayman R has to go…ideally before Christmas. I’ve advertised it in the usual places at a sensible price with OPC warranty.

Thanks everyone for the chat and car based info. One day I’ll hope to get one again, it really is an amazingly balanced driving car

There's comes a time to sell for one reason or another like I did at least you have the knowledge you have owned and enjoy one something not everyone can say.
Since selling mine I have had the pleasure of seeing my old car and chatting to its new owner on 3 occasions lovely chap Andy from the site .
All the best with the sale.

Viper Green, Ceramics, Bucket seats, AeroKit, Ltd Slip, PASM, Xenons, PSE, Spyder wheels, short shift, not an R but probably very close!

And here it is again.....

New cost was £72k!! Reading some of the comments, the Viper Green paint wasn't getting much love back in the day.

That is mental. What an epic S that is. That is the best one I have ever seen. Seems so under priced - should be more like £35K - £40K.

The ad doesn't mention spyder wheels and in the YouTube video it has black sport wheels.
