This one anyone on here? The advert has the incorrect line about the Cayman R being an ECOTY winner that the seller with the two white cars north of £50k was using. Probably copied from their advert.

I think the owner has posted here before. It has been on the market for at least a year. It is fairly priced considering the mileage and spec, very strange how that just won't seem to sell.

Agreed nice car and spec. The only slight downside must be the PDK, although I love mine, and no PSE. The red belts and green painted bits rather hurt the eyes as well. Sensible mods, saves the new owner paying for them. Perhaps there are some less desirable details not mentioned in the ad?

I am surprised it even lasted a day considering the spec, mileage and jzmporsche's pedigree and their client base.

I was there this morning picking my car up….prospective buyer was inspecting it then. Cat looked immaculate. Previous owner was a car retailer who had spent a lot more time polishing it than driving it !

Makes me wonder more what is up with that other Peridot listed above that has been on for a good year or so. Cheaper than JZM's - sure more miles (hence cheaper, but not a crazy amount of mlles....., but pretty much identical spec.

on the flip side, JZM's is cheaper than this ...

...which has more miles and no buckets, so I don't that will sell anytime soon, if JZM's is a barometer of what sells at seemingly a benchmark of 50K. Of which i only recall the 4k miles Ruby listed for that price that sold, as lets face it, JZM's is only £100 shy of £50K

Was on a run today and got complemented on the sound of my R by this 991.1 GT3RS owner.

Was also a 991.2 GT3 in the group...owner said he enjoyed watching my car getting chucked about on our back roads and the flames out the back of exhaust!!

I think I've peaked smilesmile

I have met one other so far...Black one. There's also a Peridot in Belfast. I think Belfast Porsche sold about three here not that that means much.

Oh I am trying to audit all the black ones. May I ask it is gloss black or basalt and with or without extended leather? Thanks!

thank you! that is lovely. Gosh I hadn't seen that popup on AT or PH listings. That won't last long on the market, manuals seem to fly off the shelves.
thanks for sharing!

Yes, there's alot of Tasty cars here. Random stuff turns up at the drives going from a GT3 RS to a farmer rocking up in this and driving the tits off it...

Apologies as I'm sure this has been done to death, but what's the latest consensus on tyres? Car is mainly used for spirited drives and longer road trips. Goodyear Eagle F1s are what's coming off

general consensus is PS4S

I went from aged F1's to PS4S and car was transformed

I'm well pleased with my choice beer
