after my car had its first service the other week a few days later I received a letter asking if I wanted to sell it!as if an opc would give me £40k+ which is the minimum I would let my car go for!!!!compared with whats been on offer at circa £40k I would say the forecourt price for my car would be circa £43-44k so perhaps they were after a quick buck!
Not seen the Shirley car as yet, was going down on Thursday to view both. I have been in touch with local OPC (Newcastle) who will try to track down a Spyder for me. So will see. I think there will be other cars appearing as more owners will be coming to end of various finance deals and ownership packages and except not all enthusiasts so these will go for sale. Just hope they don't read this and sell their cars nice and cheap [ORIGINAL: flat6I think we got down to one car twice before but they weren't quite as desirable as this one as a last one. Sorry you missed out H14 As others have done, get your name down with a few OPC's, say one in each of the franchises, or just one that is keen on sourcing Spyders such as PC Silverstone. You could find a good car that way as some aren't coming to market as they are being sold to a waiting list. Good luck!! P.S. have you seen the Shirley car yet and if so, how was that?

If there aren't any OPC cars for sale next month I will have to sacrifice my garage queen just to keep this thread going [&o][ORIGINAL: rob.kellock It has taken 1 year, 1 month, 2 weeks, 6237 posts, 69909 hits and 1 deleted picture of laydees to answer the question: are Spyders extinct at OPCs [
][&:] I can officially confirm when I owned my Speedster between 89-2003 there wasn't a single month without a car being for sale somewhere barring in mind there were only ever 65 cars to start with I can also confirm that OPC's never dealt in the used Speedsters much, if at all, and they mainly came to market through specialists like Bramley or Romans and more often than not as private sales So the popularity of the 237 UK Spyders has been far greater than the 911 Speedsters proved to be but the fact one is a brilliant focused driver and the other is the total opposite probably has a lot to do with that[&o] NEW PAGE NEW PIC
If you are in no rush between now and Springtime there will be plenty of fresh cars to market otherwise I will definitely have to shut this office down and make several people redundantORIGINAL: H14PDBNot seen the Shirley car as yet, was going down on Thursday to view both.

Also here http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/mclaren-p1-stats-2013-10-21 Have you seen the stopping distances?? [:-]
Not sure, but old people like me would probably have to hold their own face on when doing an emergency stop!! [

Get yourself and your partner out there with the stop watch and be the first to report back [
] Our Boxster S tester weighed just 3133 pounds and accelerated from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds, beating a manual-equipped base 2012 911 Carrera by an insignificant 0.1 second. The Boxster S also matches the same 911 Carrera in the quarter mile at 12.7 seconds, though at 109.7 mph it was a few ticks slower. Slowing down the fun from 60 mph takes just 102 feet, without the $7400 carbon ceramic brakes.

The time of year doesn't affect how they sell. If anything, the less that are offered to the market, the quicker they sell, naturally. As you say, putting a radio in a Porsche that isn't shipped with one is probably prohibitive in terms of cost and not worth it to the seller to do so. Someone will want one without a radio but it doesn't look as if there is a long queue of people so inclined. Unpopular spec'd cars will sell but that doesn't prove anything. A low number of buyers and sellers for an unpopular spec will indeed find each other. Likewise, there are very few aqua blue Spyders which means it was unpopular choice, but an aqua blue car will sell quickly because it is rare and one buyer will jump at one seller.

Bloody hell Cecil!! I nearly spat my coffee out when you wrote "tomorrow"! It's the 23rd [&:] But it's a shame you can't make it, but I'm sure the weather will be better at Anglesey. Yes all brake mods are done so it'll be interesting to try it out on trackORIGINAL: flat6 RobK and Andy, have a good day at Oulton Park tomorrow. I won't be able to join you but maybe I can do the next one at Anglesey or Oulton[
Although it looks the same as the std one. Hehe where did you find that focus pic? That was the Cambrian Rally 12 months ago []
