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

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.

Probably as it doesn't suit the car. Looks great on a GT3, but I wouldn't want it on a Cayman.

No surprise there. It was so unvalued. Whoever got it must be very happy.

£26K I think. Silly low. I don't know what they are thinking. I was going to ring up and offer £35K but the ad got removed.

The thread for that car shows the change of the tide in the market, a high spec unusual colour cayman GTS wouldn’t lose £20k in a year! These days people would be fapping about it selling for overs. Also the way the thread reacts to the car is negative considering (although Ph Comments section is generally grim).

Sounds on the low side to me no wonder if sold fast.

I was tempted at that price but I dont like the colour.

[BrotherMouzone]

I bet it will reappear at dealer with big mark up.

[Escy]

If I bought it, it would re-appear at the same price without the seats.

Ah yes I saw that one listed today, very nice indeed. What are you moving onto car wise?

I’m struggling with that! 996,997 and even the bigger 991 as well as an XKR-S are all too small as my 12 year old is 5ft 6” already. I then started to look at something with a nice engine but not so good driving capability and started with mustang then moved to an AM rapide and then a Maserati gran tourismo, but none seem quite right for us. They all have 4 seats, but each has its own issues. All first world problems I know, but there it is. At the moment the Rapide is still top of the list…

No love for

M3 / M5 / RS4 / RS6

What about

Panamera / Macan / Cayenne

Who was at Goodwood yesterday? Cayman R was going well …

And two lovely R's at RPM this morning 👍

[PaulD86]

Service time for my R and I have just had the quote from Porsche. £1,298.04. This was for a "12 year" service and covered filters, oil, plugs, brake fluid and gearbox fluid change. Parts came to £449.61 and then the rest was 5.75 hours at £132/hour. My last major service was eight-hundred and something so this seems like a ridiculous jump.

I've always had servicing done by Porsche, but had my local garage MoT it first and attend to anything "extra" the car may need. This time I'm wondering if it's time to just get the local garage to do the lot... If we had a local specialist up in this part of the world I'd go there, but we don't and the one garage that sort of claims to be, isn't one I'd use. This morning I had the car MoT'd and given a once over by my local garage who, other than some corossion on caliper brake pipes, found nothing wanting doing.

My reasoning for keeping OPC history has been mainly for resale reasons, and while I don't plan to sell it, you never know when circumstances may force something like that (especially when the government seem to have totally lost touch with all forms of reality) and punters do seem to like an OPC history (rightly or wrongly). As I say, a Porsche specialist would be my preference, but there isn't one that it is practical to go to. So what do we think? Time to just get my trusted local to do the lot? I'm torn.
