ORIGINAL: rob.kellock Spoilsport. 4 of the 7 are the Pistonheads cars though. [:D]
And the Bramley 101 mile car is sold and now off Pistonheads [:-] Did John say there are loads for sale!
 
ORIGINAL: rob.kellock You must. Not too far for you and well worth it. Thread on the Porsche forum on Pistonheads with a chap who just did it in a Cayman R and took some nice pictures.
I will. Can you send me the link to the PH thread. Thanks. Were my eyes deceiving me, or, on that link to autotrader there was a red one with hot chairs......... for £47K!!! John will have some serious negotiating to do. Actually, it should be easy, just show them the OPC car which is £10K less[;)]

PDK - Has been on the market for some times and is likely to be so at that price! See:- http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201203442514464/sort/default/usedcars/maximum-age/up_to_3_years_old/engine-size-cars/3l_to_3-9l/price-from/25000/model/boxster/make/porsche/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/radius/1501/page/1/keywords/spyder/saved-search-id/2c92962d3a4eee4e013a5d9f81340012/postcode/cb45bx?logcode=p They certainly have created there own NICHE in the market place with those prices[;)][;)]

I bet the other Porsche in these pictures went through a similar life story as the Spyder is currently experiencing and look how that old girl ended up decades later [:D]

(Off topic) A couple of pictures later was this one - both from this summer's trip to the Le Mans Classic. Incidentally, your OCD wouldn't have wanted to see what happened to my Spyder once that V12 fired up in the previous pic!

Rob previous picture was a straight six series 1 but either way you are probably right about what happened next :)
 
Will bow to your superior knowledge, for some reason I thought it was a V12. Will check, it was one of our group!

V12 has flared arches and longer doors plus six more cylinders and 4 carbs two per bank. Back in the day I had the last ever 4.2 sold by Henlys Colindale and then later on a V12 too

Yes, you are definitely right! Bit before my time [:D] Certainly sounded like no other straight 6 but it did have a straight through exhaust too. Very pretty thing. Door open to dry out! You certainly have an eclectic back catalogue.
