Anyone sold a 987 Spyder recently ? Hard to figure out where the market is for these!
Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

That was fast! Looked like a nice car though.
The one I’m seeing tomorrow is a manual in black with buckets and Spyder wheels. No A/C or Navigation though. 8k miles and two
owners (current since 2010).

Will be the same for me… didn’t have AC in my last Spyder and don’t remember the last time I used car SatNav !
you won't be using a sat nav in a 987 even if you had it, it's too out of date. Mine has no AC or PCM, if I go out on my own no issue, if the OH comes I take a blue tooth speaker which works great. Sat nav I use waze on a Quadlock screen mount on an iphone if needed. more to show speed cameras though not the route.

Thanks both. So I bought the car on Friday. It’s in lovely condition, 7.8k miles, only two owners but most recent chap owned since 2010.
Options:
[ul][*]Cruise[*]Sound Package Plus[*]Sport Chrono Package[*]CD-Radio Audio System CDR-30[*]Universal Audio Interface[*]Auto Dimming Interior + Exterior Mirrors[/ul]Not a tonne of options but it has the important buckets and spyder wheels!
Lovely drive back home, it’s a lovely example of a great model.
Things I may consider doing:
- short shift
- fruitier exhaust (prefer OEM rather than after-market)
- need to find a way to stream audio, may consider PCCM+ when it comes out
For now, will just enjoy driving it!

"Stripped for action" taken to an extreme even side stripes have removed in the need for speed
The extras (or removals) on this car are focussed on being lightweight. It has lightweight, carbon back bucket seats, manual transmission and comes without climate control (air conditioning)! It does have rear parkings and a Porsche Sports Exhaust (PSE)One of the previous keepers removed the PCM (Radio) unit and replaced it with the storage unit. This really is dedication to the cause! The PCM unit comes with the car, so that the new owner can decide whether to refit or not. We assume that the door speakers and dash speakers are still present, but these have not been checked.The most recent keeper has added to this lightweight obsession. He has replaced the wheel bolts with Titanium parts. The battery has also been replaced with an Anti-gravity battery. He also refurbished the wheels using renowned Xcel Wheels. All tyres were renewed with the correct N rated Michelin pilot sport tyres at the same time. These still look new. Quite recently, the car was detailed and ceramic coated and this is still evident when the car is washed. Porsche part exchanges welcomeThe service history is good. A period in storage meant the car wasn't serviced in 2014. It wasn't MOT'd in 2014, 2015 and 2016 either. The services have been carried out initially by OPC Nottingham in 2012, 2017 and 2019. In 2021 OPC tonbridge carried out a health check and oil service. We carried out the major service 2021 Full service history, White, £47,995
