Here is another view from the other side of the pond "There is something very special about the 987 Spyder and I think it will gain iconic status someday! Some here have discounted the conversation I had with Dr. Wolfgang Porsche at the '12 Parade about his immense enthusiasm for this model. He bought a 'Carrara White' one which he keeps at his Zellamsee Austrian estate. But I think it's revealing for a person in his position at Porsche AG! Same for a chat I had with Cass Whitehead, Lead Instructor of the Porsche Sport Driving School in the USA. In 2010, long before I even thought of ordering my '12 Spyder, he told me that a Spyder was the only Porsche in recent times that he had been tempted to buy with his own funds! And he had a fleet of 997's & other models that he drove all the time! Again, that also tells me something about the uniqueness & special driving characteristics of this model! Time will tell about the place the Spyder will hold in the future. But don't sell the Spyder short...literally as well as figuratively!" Saludos, Eduardo SeattleORIGINAL: rob.kellock ORIGINAL: Pistonheads Popped into Porsche Edinburgh today as needing some new seals onthe 964. Chatting to Graeme about our new Spyder and he mentioned they have a Guards Red Spyder coming in today as a trade in. Think he said it was a 2011 with approx 1450 (yep 1450) miles, manual, PSports Exhaust, Sports Chrono, Red dials, Short Shift, Air con and a couple of other goodies. Sold at lunchtime reportedly.
