981 cayman s

[Bodyboarder]

Hi all .... not been on here for a while ( since selling the z4mc!) but had this for a little while now . Took quite a while to find the spec I was after but well worth the wait !

If anyone is in the market for one I’d happily meet up and take you for a drive / good look over it , same as some good people on here did for me when looking for a z4mc

 

[Smartbear]

That looks superb, good choice

Nice choice , there's a couple of other current forum members with these now 8) seems like the "logical" move away from the Z4 whether E86 or E89 :wink:

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 .

Thats one fine looking motor :wub:

Nice car BB...

Have you got wing back seats? Mine hasn’t and I hate the seats with a passion, so much so the car is going, maybe with a 718 if the wing backs are better.

Yes has the sports plus seats .... which I think that’s what you mean by wing back ? Doesn’t have the full on fixed buckets ...which I love the look of but found uncomfortable

Your Cayman looks great Bodyboarder.

And that's a kind offer to forum members, but an indication of your whereabouts might be helpful. :wink:

 

[BeeEmm]

In my opinion this Cayman is the best car Porsche ever made.

Yes I completely agree .... other than the GT products, which just aren’t affordable for most !

I had a manual 987.2 Cayman S before the Z4MR. Had I been able to step up to the 981 S I think I would have tried to cling on to it. I had to sell mine to complete some house renovations. That's an awesome car. It just does everything better than all but regular track drivers can. I haven't really driven my roadie yet ( crap gritty Scottish roads). But I am looking forward to a completely different experience. Enjoy the Cayman, looks fantastic.

Lovely looking car.. Can I say I'm interested in getting one, and just come to have a look and a ride... LOL..

 

[tomscott]

[metal licker]

How does the roof come off though like a Zed?

It’s called a boxster

 

[enzed4]

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?!
