Interesting piece on MailOnline this afternoon that Porsche is adding a 10% Brexit premium to all new cars even if you’ve ordered in the event of a No Deal. £48500 for a base Cayman. New Spyders and GT4s will add 8-9k. Should firm up prices for existing cars.👍

Porsche customers to pay 10% more if there's a no-deal Brexit [link]https://mol.im/a/6705333[/link]

There has been a recent recall on gearboxes for the GT4. Is this an issue for the 981 Spyder too?

yes I wonder if they will recall the Spyder as it's not a track car, so will be rare to pop the weld for road use.

All GT4 after say Nov 2015 to mid 2016 are getting complete new gearboxes, these have proper splined 3rd gear.

Spyder was out the same time so it seems odd no recall for them !

Very nice, but a limited market[;)][:D]

 
Is there a ceiling on how much extra you would be prepared to pay for a 718 Spyder

Rumors of a list price £10k more than the 981 and production numbers greater too I am not sure if I would upgrade if this isn't fake gossip :ROFLMAO:

That place looks local? Certainly not London

have you moved Robert?

car looking great
Hi Dylan

Not moved but those 2 houses were built and remain unsold due to the times are a changing especially in London [:D] so I thought I would take a few cheeky pics whilst they remain unsold

Now using an amazing fast detailer spray P & S Bead Maker that really makes it "pop"

Hi all. I am feeling down and a tad upset to say the least. I now have to sell my beautiful 2011, white 987.2 Spyder which has won 3rd place 3 years running at the PCGB National Concours competitions. I have lovingly cherished this stunning masterpiece for the last 3 years, as Robert (Daro911) did for the car's 4 years from new before I bought it from him. Robert, this will surprise you I know, but unfortunately circumstances have changed. The car has been garaged since new and is still in mint condition, having only travelled 14500 miles since new with full OPC service history (new cam belt at the last service).

I'd be happy to provided full specs, history and photos etc to anyone who messages me. I have not advertised the car anywhere, or told anyone of my intentions to sell, other than this message as yet. I would rather sell her to another Porsche enthusiast, who will cherish it as Robert and I have done. Can there be another Porsche in the country (let alone a Spyder) with 3 x 3rd place wins in it's history - probably not. This certainly is excellent provenance. All the best to everyone, Dave

 
I’ve just bought that detailed too!!

andi wish I’d known your old spyder was coming available Robert - I really loved how you looked after that

but I’ve just bought a 991.1

maybe a spyder will still make it one day🤣

Good luck with the 991 Jet Black you will be using that Bead Maker every wash or two [;)]

I will try and keep you in mind when the current Spyder needs a new home :ROFLMAO:

Anyone looking for s superb spec and condition 987 Spyder should checkout crocket's example as I know he heaped as much love & care on it as I did for the first 4 years ownership
