US prices high as EU now

I was watching this 2 year old Magnus Walker video and at 03:20 he talks about wanting Cayman R. Wonder if he got one as US prices might be creeping up faster than here...

Here he is with mine in 2015

That's class. Magnus's fame was still in it's infancy then I think?

I live in that video when he says he's just got the 996 GT3....because the RS is toon expensive and I buy them to drive them

A few years back I drove past who I thought was him in Aberdeen. Turns out it was him and a pic of my R appeared on his Instagram a few hours later. Think he has family in this area. He liked the look of my car anyway

Hi Guys,

Could someone confirm is I've got the correct P/N's for cayman R (manual) springs? Taken from the parts manual, 99% sure they are correct but just want to check, thanks.

987 343 531 40 504 (front)
987 333 531 96 504 (rear)

These are to go with B8's.

Cheers,
Dunc.

£33K equivalent..

https://www.cars.co.za/for-sale/used/2012-Porsche-...

factor in a few £K shipping and thats £35K for a RHD 17000km R with many boxes ticked. Seems a good deal to me for anyone looking.

Then add on VAT , duty , registration cost etc etc

[squirdan]

20% vat Julian, so this car would be early 40s all in, pdk car

given low mileage might still be attractive

but its a big ask to deal with all that hassle and uncertainty to import it sight unseen just to save a couple of grand

I imported a classic range rover from SA years ago ..that made total sense...no rust and classic cars attract much lower import duty

[matjk]

I think it would be closer to £45k if not more by the time you had it on the road .
And it will always be an import .

The pic was of the back of my car at the traffic lights I stopped at after I passed him. I was about 30 seconds from home and one of his relatives lives the next street along from where I was living at the time. When he's been in Aberdeen he's turned up to a few meets and has been for runs with some of the local Porsche owners.

I really want to see wheels this colour on a peridot car. I think it could look either awful or great. Plenty of pics of green Porsches looking good with gold wheels on Google images, but I've not seen it on a peridot car yet. I do have a bit of a thing for gold wheels though.... I'm blaming the 90s McRae era Imprezas for this. My last car was an Impreza but had silver wheels and I think I've an itch I want to scratch

yep I thought I'd share them as I recall some folk here were into the gold wheel combo. It does look good.

Is the import factor a big issue, could be seen as a bonus coming from a warmer climate? but yep I forget on taxes and stuff. Still a good deal I reckon

[squirdan]

Has anyone ever seen a CR in white with white wheels?

Was just looking at this JZM RS and thinking how good it looks. Same wheels aren’t they (but centre lock)
