I think by the reactions here that it may be partly to blame. Some people are extremely anal about their cars... My response was that I would look at it, but it would be after others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeatesy Posted 20May, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 20May, 2021 Update: 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for' My 9871.1 Cayman S is now with it's new owner and I have an empty garage so if anyone knows of a 987.2 Cayman S, Cayman R or a 997 Carrera S preferably with a manual transmission that is going to become available I'd love to hear from you.

Stephen Tinker Posted 21May, 2021 Report Share Posted 21May, 2021 I'm considering selling my 981 GT4 ( Guards Red, 11,000km, clubsport option with LW buckets) in the near future, though it maybe not exactly what you are looking for....

Stephen a GT4 is ultimately what I’m after especially in Guards Red, just think it will be out of reach for me financially at the moment but feel free to PM me 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it is not a Cayman R it is the Roofless version for want of a better term. Rare and collectable definitely not a daily driver but pretty special.

Yes mechanically the 987.2 & 981are solid but I would have liked someone to check our the paintwork. The lockdown in Sydney makes that very difficult. 3 minutes ago, SpaceKitty111 said: I have been watching the status of this car, it has been on and off this website for a couple of times now.

I did purchase my 981 recently also sight-unseen due to the lockdown etc however the seller was kind enough to drop it off for an inspection at a Porsche dealership. What I meant to say is if you are unable to reach the seller directly via the platform perhaps have a closer look at the log book details… (if you haven’t already, that is 😄) Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
