If this has buckets and decent service history, it could be a great buy...

Colour aside thats virtually exactly the same spec as mine.


Good buy for someone that.

Any previous owner knowledge Gents ?

Surely you've got to buy this one........nothing much not to like

[Jim1556]

This time last year, I'd have ripped their arms off but sadly work issues prevent even man maths getting involved. Looks lovely!

Won't hang around long with that mileage and spec.
Specs almost the same as mine apart from I have an alcantara steering wheel
And mine's peridot with 16 k miles.
Probably don't come up often in that spec mileage someone will get a nice CR

[frayz]

Someone just bloody buy it and drive it.
Under 2000 miles a year just isnt enough for a Cayman R, theyre far too good for that.

This. I've stopped caring about the miles on mine - I've no plans to ever sell it - and am loving it. Did 400 miles over last weekend and loved every one.

Going to refurb the wheels silver soon and then after summer I might get the front painted to rid it of the stone chips, but I plan to enjoy it and put miles on it. I actually think these cars are better when they are driven regularly. Mine certainly seems to prefer it.

Agree 100%.
I havent painted the front of mine yet but i will, and would like to PPF it when i do. As i do drive it and it will only get chipped again.
Taking it to Silverstone for a PEC day tomorrow, its gonna be wet too so should be fun

Collecting on Sunday from another forum member

After ten years with a 964 it will be a bit of different driving experience, but I'm looking forward to it

Hi Gary
That is one good looking car!,
It’s sat in the garage under a cover waiting for you to collect on Sunday.
Will be sorry to see it go , but needs must.
Regards
Dave

That white car is a good spec - like that a lot!

[frayz]

Spent the morning hooning around the low adhesion circuit at PEC Silverstone this morning. So much fun learning to transition between powerslides in it.

Spun her a good few times but also got some amazing transitions in it. It’s so well balanced this car, every time I drive it I love it that little bit more.
Time for new rear Cups though haha

Also narrowly walked away from taking this home for my daughter (only 3 months so a bit young yet). Excuse the stupid grin.

Any thoughts on the white car at Redline?

[Frrair]

The one at Redline looks lovely if it’s been serviced correctly and on time it looks a really good car.

I bought mine from Redline and delt with Jonny. He was great to deal with and it was an easy purchase. They transported the car to the local OPC for an inspection before handover (upon my request). The OPC cocked the geo up mind.

Collected from Coventry yesterday and had a comfortable drive home. Car is in lovely condition and a credit to its previous owners. Thanks to Gixxerdave for a pleasant transaction

Very happy, though it's a squeeze in my garage now. It's a whole lot bigger than a 964 !!

Looking forward to getting to know it a bit more in the coming weeks

No problem Gary , enjoy the car . I’m pretty sure you’ll get more out of the car than I did , both in terms of mileage and exploring the limits.

Cracking picture of your R , I think it rivals the one I’ve just sold to Gary for cleanliness .
Love the windscreen sun stripe , could I ask where you got it from?
Which course did you do at Silverstone?
Kind regards
Dave

Sunstrip was from Mark @ MarkOne Graphics (same chap made my sticky front plate) Its matte black strip with gloss place Porsche typeface. The morning was a PCGB organisted PEC morning with tuition. I was asked what i wanted to learn most and that was getting teh R sliding about and learning to drift it a bit. So i spent basically my whole time on the low adhesion circuit sliding about
