How does the roof come off though like a Zed?Bodyboarder wrote: ↑Sun Jan 27, 2019 8:48 pm Thanks chaps
It’s just one of those rare cars ( IMO) that does it all ... it’s beautiful looking , amazing sound track , chassis is sensational , build quality and yet still classy . I’m over the moon with it . Still very daunting ( for me anyway ) spending this sort of hard earned money on it and I’m under no illusion that I’ll loose a chunk on it , given the way everything seems to be going ! But ultimately it was the right time for me to buy a realistic dream car .

As others have said, that is a beautiful looking vehicle
Any chance of some interior pics please? (including the seats you're talking about).

Tempted by one of these. Driven the 981 S a few times and I've got to say it's one of the best handling cars I've driven.
Out of interest, what spec did you go for? Sports exhaust, PDK, chrono, PASM?!

That Cayman is lovely . This would have been my first choicec (if money were no object). I felt the E86 was the next best thing that fitted my budget.
Its really good of you to offer a test drive to others. I'm tempted, but this could end up with me selling one of my kidneys

Spec is
Pdk
Sports exhaust
Sport Chrono- inc dynamic engine mounts
Pasm - adaptive dampers
PTV - mechanical lsd - inc some braking magic thing
Extended leather - so on the dash , full door cards ect
20” Carrara wheels in platinum grey
Colour crested wheel centres ( yes that really is an option !)
Sports plus seats -6 way adjustable-heated
Sports design steering wheel
Embossed leather arm rest ( I added this )
Nav unit
Plus other stuff I can’t remember!
It’s a great spec in my eyes but the difference in price from a basic spec one and a top spec one can be as much as 10k !!

Honesty don’t mind taking anyone out in it , i always try to get a ride / chat about a car I’m consider buying from someone who isn’t selling . You get a better / more honest view of it I findZedtastic wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 6:57 am That Cayman is lovely . This would have been my first choicec (if money were no object).

Great spec that and a lovely car.
IIRC you could have £30k of upgrades for a 981 on top of basic spec..

Yes I can quite believe that ! Put on the ceramic brakes , Porsche adaptive lights , carbon buckets ... crazy how it adds up . Never really got how the same cars of this brand ( and others ) could vary so much in price . That is until you start to realise practically everything is an extra !

Yep...
Mine has 9k of options and it skinny on spec comparatively,the 20" wheels and litronics are big money,as are the sport leather seats.
