2008 PORSCHE (987) CAYMAN

KEY FACTS

• A smart example of the usable modern sports coupe, presented in a timeless colour scheme and with very low mileage from new.
• It is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.7-litre flat-six, which sends 241bhp and 201lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a slick five-speed manual transmission.
• The odometer displays a mere 24,610 miles.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in the combination of Basalt Black over a black leather-trimmed interior with white stitching, this 987-generation Cayman was specified with the desirable Sport Chrono package, xenon headlights, extended leather trim on the upper dashboard and door cards, and a premium Bose sound system.
• It rides on the optional set of 19-inch diamond-cut Turbo-style alloy wheels.
• The car will be accompanied by its original handbooks and partial documentation of its service history for the past four years, though its service book is missing.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Overall, the Basalt Black paintwork is in good condition, with various marks around the car, including a scuff on the passenger-side door mirror cover, stone chips on the bonnet and further stone chips and areas of lacquer peel on the front bumper.
• The rear bumper has previously been resprayed to remove a scrape on its surface.
• Its exterior trim presents well, but there is a small chip on the windscreen.
• Inside, the black leather-trimmed cabin is very smart, and while there is some slight wear on the touchpoints and minor creasing on the seats, its impressive overall appearance is in line with the low mileage.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults with the vehicle.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 14 November 2020 at 23,139 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with one advisory noting slight play in the steering wheel.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Cayman’s most recent routine maintenance was a general oil and filter service, which was carried out in October 2020 at 22,884 miles by Shenley Road Garage.
• Prior to this, the same workshop changed the engine oil, filters, brake pads and tyres in September 2018 at 18,931 miles.

SUMMARY

This 987-generation Porsche Cayman is an involving yet practical two-seat sports car. Benefitting from a recent service and with fewer than 25,000 miles on its odometer, this well-specified example would benefit from some minor cosmetic improvement in due course, but is ready for its next owner to get behind the wheel and enjoy its deft handling on their favourite B-roads without delay.
