Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

ORIGINAL: daro911 Were your black wheels factory finish and in good mint condition or did they need a refurb anyway ... If they were mint you could probably have done a switch over with one of the silver spyder wheel guys starting with me

That's exactly what I was thinking!

WHAT .... He could have swapped with me[] [link=http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=boxster+987+spyder+alloys&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=xB9bEqsDIHUVeM&tbnid=pEUXSNkunAT3JM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F19-Porsche-Wheels-Rims-986-987-Boxster-S-Spyder-987c-Cayman-R-%2F280849660322&ei=5m7cUZetMsPUPPPlgKAO&bvm=bv.48705608,d.ZWU&psig=AFQjCNErtrXcNcnA77VeYUz4ZspO40VjeA&ust=1373487189196311]

ORIGINAL: rob.kellock So that leaves OPC cars as follows: (all cars should be manual, Spyder alloys and bucket seats unless stated otherwise) Edinburgh - Black - 01/11 - 7k miles - PDK/Carrera Sports - £41850 (ad still there) Swindon - Aqua - 03/10 - 30k miles - PDK/heated seats - £37450 East London - White - 04/10 - 20k miles - PDK - £38980 Byfleet - Silver - 03/10 - 14k miles - heated seats - £36995 Leeds - Black - 07/11 - 10k miles - heated seats - £39890 Pistonheads adds: Shirleys - Black - 2011 - 10k miles - PDK/turbo alloys - £39995 private - White - 2010 - 22k miles - £33900 Yorkshire Classic - White - 2010 - 5k miles - sports seats - £38995 Autotrader adds: Ridgeway - White - 2011 - 7k miles - wheels / "that" interior - £39990 private - Red - 2011 - 5k miles - £37900 Icon - White - 2011 - 7k miles - PDK / seats - £37500 Cameron - White - 2010 - 10k miles - £36990 This gives 12 cars advertised for sale via the most obvious sources. The average used Spyder has an asking price of £38370 with a mileage of 12250.

A couple of price reductions for the eagle eyed... Edinburgh car definitely sold, I bought it but not yet taken delivery due to DVLA on a go slow............. however still enjoying their 991 they gave me as loan car! Kenny Spyder

Kenny may be they are hoping you will fall for the 991 loaner whilst they continue to market your Spyder [] DVLA can take weeks to do a button pushing exercise [] out of interest why didn't you take the car as is and when the transfer was complete screw on the private plate[8|]

Ooops sorry guys - would have happily swapped. Yes they were factory painted in black, and were mint. Now they are going to be mint and gold... they arrive this afternoon - Straight down to Goodwood tomorrow (Thursday) for the motor show (pre-FoS thing). Then serviced Friday. The annoying thing is I then go on holiday , and don't get to enjoy it for a couple of weeks!!! Any other Spyders going Thursday?

Checkout the F Type Spyder while you are there looks like Jaguar are getting serious about the future of their sports cars [] http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/jaguar/f-type/64907/jaguar-f-type-project-7

Parked next to you was my first ever sports car a TR6 with overdrive on 2nd 3rd and 4th gear making it a 7 speed box [8D] Glad to see you took the summer light weight and not the daily driver []

Didn't matter at the time anyway as I was due to go on holiday for a couple of weeks. As it turns out I didn't go on holiday as cancelled at last minute..... but that's another story.

Local Classic Car show a few weeks back before the nice weather arrived but it was certainly a Millions of £'s worth of tackle affair ... 1st one held so hopefully might become an annual meeting with even more cars []

Notable absence of MGBs and TR6s... Bloody great pictures though!

 

[kenneth ritchie]

Some amazing cars being shown there. Where was that? Kenny Spyder

St John Wood High Street in North London the pictures were taken minutes before it officially opened. It was a 11.00 -5.00pm gig just a shame it was a quite chilly gloomy day despite being "summertime" [&o]

Considering that the 981 moves the Boxster design on considerably, the Spyder looks like it could've just been launched when against the backdrop of some older metal, whereas the current Jag XK cab behind it does not IMO.
