cheers just odd to me you keep buying Spyders in your own name and selling them on in your own name, the only reason I can see for this is to keep the Porsche warranty on it as you can drive any car 911V owns anyway if you so wish. not an issue , but a wise business model if a car has a OPC warranty on it. As stated on the add "Tom is selling the car himself and as such the balance of the extended Porsche warranty which runs through until 08/08/2015 is fully transferable to the next owner. " This of course is not allowed if the car is owned by 911V.
It looks like it will have manual aspects to it maybe unclipping various tails/clips or some thing , but then ELECTRIC fold up that's my take on it, 6 days to see , I guess.
90% people did not buy the 987.2 for a light drivers car, 50% added 25Kg PDK another 50% add chairs and took out the buckets. Most added back in the AC and radio How many will opt out of AC in the new one ? I doubt any one ! the biggest non selling point was the roof, the 987.2 was not limited run but they could not sell many ! so they have ltd the 981 Spyder to even less cars, you could say manual only has killed off 50% of ex spyder onwers as many want PDK now days. look at miles, on most cars circa 3k PA some much less even, pure toys
Cars sold out any way with no advertising , sus is softer than GT4 and it has a part electric roof, if it's noiseless at 80 mph like a normal 981 I wish I would have put my name down. if it's a toy one wants for a fun/2nd car you cannot beat a 987.2 car imo, at the end of the day they are making 50% more manual Spyder than manual 987.2 Spyder sold so was a risk even with only 150 UK cars.
997 Speedster has a folding manual roof so my money says it could be a 2 piece manually folding main section lift off scarf section , unlined lightweight roof system as I am sure a key aspect to a Spyder over a regular Boxster has to be weight saving, sports chassis lighter set up than PASM and humps If it has an electric roof that would open up demand way beyond the planned 150 units having a semi manually folding roof especially if in 2 sections would put off 9/10 would be 981 owners [
