2008 PORSCHE (987) CAYMAN - 37,026 MILES

This 2008 Porsche (987) Cayman is a superb two-seater sports coupe, presented with low mileage and comprehensive main dealer service history, by its first and only owner. It is powered by a 2.7-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, producing 241bhp and 201lb-ft of torque, coupled with a five-speed manual gearbox. The odometer currently shows just 37,026 miles from new.

First registered in July 2008, this Porsche Cayman was supplied new via Porsche Centre West London and has just owner from new, who has kept this car meticulously maintained exclusively at Porsche Centre West London.

The Cayman’s bodywork and paint presents in excellent condition, with flush shut lines and smooth panels. The rear bumper’s plastic cover was replaced in December 2019 following some light cosmetic damage, but otherwise the panels are all original. The Guards Red paintwork has benefitted from a respray to the front end in 2016, carried out by M&A Coachworks in London, and now presents free of any blemishes or stone chips. The car’s Cayman badging and twin sports exhaust tips appear in great shape, while the car rides on a set of 19-inch Sport Design alloy wheels, which remain in superb condition.

In the cabin, the original black leather and leatherette upholstery presents in remarkably good condition, with the seats showing minimal signs of use. The three-spoke steering wheel and manual gear knob remain in very good order, as do the dashboard switches and interior plastics. The carpets and branded Porsche floor mats are also in excellent condition, similar to the plush fabric towards the bottom of the door cards. The vendor has reported no faults with any interior electrics and no warning lights present on the dashboard.

The last service was undertaken in July 2020 at 36,963 miles, where technicians at Porsche Centre West London carried out the car’s major 12-year service, including fresh transmission oil and brake fluid. It also carried out a 111-point check in order to retain an extended warranty, which the new owner will benefit from until July 2021, along with roadside assistance.

Prior to this, in July 2019, at 36,348 miles, Porsche Centre West London carried out a minor service, changing the oil and filter. In July 2018 at 34,048 miles, the car’s 10-year service was carried out, including an oil and filter change. The vendor notes the vehicle has a full Porsche Centre West London service history, including annual oil changes in addition to the model’s biennial maintenance requirements.

The most recent MOT test was on 8 July 2020 at 36,962 miles, which resulted in a first-time pass with only one advisory to monitor a nail in the offside front tyre – which was subsequently replaced. The vehicle rides on Michelin Pilot Sport tyres on all four corners, and the vendor reports that the front tyres have covered less than 2,000 miles, while the rears have covered less than 3,000 miles.

Accompanying the vehicle are the original handbooks, service book and factory toolkit, as well as all corresponding invoices for maintenance.

This Porsche 987 Cayman is a superb example of a critically acclaimed analogue sports car, presented with a full main dealer service history. Undoubtedly a collector-quality Cayman, given its single owner provenance and low mileage, this beautifully presented coupe also deserves to be enjoyed on the road as intended, and is sure to delight its next owner wherever they choose to drive it.
