Hhhmm.....I'm surprised that article is still live. He has since bought another personal Ferrari and Ferrari recently lent him an F12 to film with 4 sets of wheels to destroy. There was no complaint and this was the best car ever etc.... It's all clearly a marketing machine, you are either a cog in it or not!

But 1 OPC car stubbornly fails to go away...
the 4C seems a fail in Evo car of the year then. And for the same reasons I thought it was a non starter also even not driving it lol. I fancy a change but nothing floats my boat for thrills like the Cayman R does and is usable at the same time. I did take a look at this though A Turbo with bucket seats a Sports classic wheels
What was the deal breaker on this one or did your boat sink[]ORIGINAL: MrDemon I did take a look at this though A Turbo with bucket seats a Sports classic wheels
Yes it will certainly be a difficult car to better.
Me also but what about those gorgeous alloys tooORIGINAL: dyllan I do like those fuchers []
I can see why that caught your attention. I am guessing it is one of those rare beasts - the last of the gen 1 cars but fitted with PCM3? Of course you end up going down the route of paying more money for an older car, 2 generations out of date, with higher mileage than the one you already have and significantly increased running costs (in tyres alone if nothing else!). Nice though, I like those Fuchers too. []ORIGINAL: MrDemon the 4C seems a fail in Evo car of the year then. And for the same reasons I thought it was a non starter also even not driving it lol.

I would want it just for the illuminated door sills, they would amuse me greatly.
That one was confirmed by someone on here a couple of weeks ago that the OPC said it has been sold. You'd think they'd take it down to avoid the hassle of getting phone calls but perhaps it's a way of getting spyder buyers to phone up and then take their details whilst they go and source one.ORIGINAL: rob.kellock But 1 OPC car stubbornly fails to go away...

Its not April the first so where do we go from here?ORIGINAL: daro911 On this beautiful last of the summer (wine) weekends I was surprised to see how few OPC's have any Spyders left in their webs (5!)  Are they becoming extinct so soon [] Â
I bet the cost new was quite a bit, great spec and GT silver with coco looks cool, I really like it and for a little extra could be at 580bhp. Best turbo I have ever seen and rare with buckets.ORIGINAL: daro911Plus a shed load of other options how does this top of the range spec price up to a run of the mill equivalent 911 Turbo (997) Features GT Silver Cocoa Leather Seats 3.6 Litre Flat Six Engine (480 bhp) Air Conditioning Four Wheel Drive Carbon Hardback Sport Seats 19" Fuchs Alloy Wheels PASM & PSM Sport Chrono Pack Plus BOSE Sound System Bi-Xenon Headlights Short Shift Cruise Control Onboard Computer Electric Sunroof Silver Dials Multifunction Steering Wheel Touchscreen Satellite Navigation Auto Dimming Mirror Colour Centre Console Illuminated Door Sills 29,105 miles 2009 (58)ORIGINAL: MrDemon I did take a look at this though A Turbo with bucket seats a Sports classic wheels
