Re: 987 Cayman S

So it’s a 3.4 S 6 speed of 2006 vintage not much recent history but good up to about 5 years ago. Hardly any use since then as the owner finds the manual clutch too much. Looking at about £12k I think ?

Re: 987 Cayman S

Long time but MIGHT have found one. It has an aero kit with a gt3 style rear spoiler in silver with a black leather interior. Bad points are jumping out of second , winter tyres on ugly wheels and owner doesn’t want to spring for a bore check. Some minor wear on switch gear finishes. Need to confirm...

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........

Only sold it as I got out of it all I wanted, mine was a 100/6 with a fast road motor. All the usual suspension tweaks..Great fun car. I think an MGC might be a similar proposition.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........

Hi guys, yes a big Healey after the 911. That too is now gone and I am carless and a bit out of touch with what's hot and what's not. I was pleased to see "my" car do well at auction the tax and premium pushed it higher than I sold for. I noticed it has has a pedal box replacement but othe...

Re: 987 Cayman S

Great looking car Jon, Hope you are keeping well. I think I'm heading in that direction for my next in a couple of years when I finally retire. I love everything you've done except the blues touches inside which to my eyes cheapen it a little ...but I reckon I could live with it . ;-)

Re: Ethanol Levels in Fuel

Agree, the Healey was re needled by Pete Lander at Sigma. My 911 was plumbed with a fuel return via a bleed valve to help prevent vapourisation in the webers. As you say it'd be a good mod for other cars too.
