ORIGINAL: daro911 Only 2 Spyders left at an OPC today and I have just heard the Paragon Spyder was bought today by a new Spyderman for our corner of the www []

Seems to be a few available at the moment. More than at any time since I started looking for mine.

Only 6 in total for sale today on Piston:Autotrader: OPC's - In July 2012 there were over 25 for sale at the same time![]

How many are right spec.(2 have wrong wheels) and how many above 15 k miles?

Is that red one without the decals one of the ones for sale? Looks good lie that. Also looks like America.

America [:-]

Don't know why but I think they lose a lot in the looks department without the decals.

Sometimes. But Have also seen a couple that look good without. There was a non metallic Dark Blue one with a red interior someone posted - looked stunning.

I'd love to take mine out to the States at Christmas. Suspect it is horrendously expensive and I've also left it too late.

It's nice and all that but a silver P O R S C H E sticker down the side with go-faster stripes would finish it off nicely []

Also needs the coloured wheels centers IMO.[:-]

Welcome to the biggest and best Spyder forum on the www. Which car have you chosen - PDK/manual? Colour, seats, this information is important! Even more importantly, get yourself membership of PCGB, the world's greatest car club. The insurance deal alone may just fund membership let alone the Porsche Centre discounts - sadly not yet available on vehicle purchases!

I absolutely love the look of that one. Reminds me of a Porsche I used to have.

Welcome to our web (on this forum) and you have quite a few sleepless nights ahead in eager anticipation []

Thanks guys spec is as follows; -454 Cruise Control - will be good for the motorways back from Scotland and if touring on the continent before the twists and turn reveal themselves -810 Floor Mats -639 Sport Chrono -XLF Porsche Sports Exhaust -498 Deletion of model designation (must save a few grams!) -695 CDR 30 -490 Sound Package Plus -870 universal audio interface -XTV leather door panel parts -Short Shifter (don't know how much difference this makes but do like a tight gear shift) Off on holiday on Wednesday for a well earned rest and back at the end of December. This car had to be bare bones for me apart from a radio, sport chrono and switchable exhaust. Buckets and wheels without saying. Noticed that since picking this up the prices of the higher mileage ones seem to be firming up with the cridfords one going up by £1k. Interesting the paragon one also got purchased. Was definatley in excellent condition but the Pdk just wasn't for me. It's just not a fast enough car to warrant it imo. If that was manual I would have snapped it up. Plan to do a pick up vid and plenty of photos. A few people given me advice for the route back and I just hope it hasn't snowed! Another matey of mine just joined up on here with a 7.2 GTS and told me good things. Can't wait for some meets in the spring / summer.

Guards red is stunning. I'm going to be there 10am on the 3rd if you want a nosey!I kind of wish mine was an actual colour. Red, blue, green yellow etc. Had 4 black cars, 2 silver, and only one red! Looking at hi-res pics of silver I can't see me being disappointed in the flesh and perhaps being a little less conspicuous is a good thing for now. There are some really nice black pdk ones for sale at the moment. The one in SW London looks stunning. For me this is a weekend car only and probably won't get much time until the spring to use it. Can't wait for drives down to beachy head, lemans, kent / Surrey country roads, Wales!
