Hi Guys I've nothing to add to the sources daro has located. Well done! John, you can lodge your interest with an OPC can they can try to source you a car. You could choose your local and I would also suggest PC Silverstone. Not that they did that for me but because they have put more Spyders on the market than anyone else and so may have a decent list of owners they could tap up.

 

[flat6]

P.S. PC Reading tried to source a car for me. If PC Cambridge aren't well connected, Reading are connected to the OPC's in London, so they might be a good choice to get working for you.

McGurks still have the Spyder - this has now been in stock for a long while[&:] They do have some other nice cars. This made me smile just above the Spyder is a Morgan +8 with 11k on 1995 and its the same price as the Spyder![&:]

 

[flat6]

I think one of the PH threads that robK and daro posted had a comment about that car.

That is not a good look no matter how much weight it might save []

 

[kitchens]

Yes the one on Mc Gurks is still for sale and has been mentioned on PH It needs 2 rear tyres at 7K mls ? was told due to over inflated tyres .They gave me shocking PX £8k told then go away ,said would be looking for around £12k said could not do as they would not retail my car and would sell to trade which i find strange as they retail prestige cars and glass a Porsche as such .Can you guys tell me what the road tax is for the year on your cars as the Boxster is £485 being a 06 plate. Brian

 

[flat6]

It's only £270 for the year. Yes, the whole year. I don't know if my tyres started life on my car as I had my wheels swapped from another car and they may have just swapped the wheels and tyres together. Therefore I can't be sure of the mileage the tyres have covered. RobK has had his car from new and will be able to comment on tyre wear.
