It has got AC and PCM 3.0 Radio/Nav which adds some weight back in but are features I use, not having them would be an issue for me.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

According to stuttcars.com the Spyder was available in:
Carrara White, Cream White (Special color), Platinum Silver Metallic, Guards Red, Aqua Blue Metallic, Black (Basalt Black Metallic and darker non-metallic both were available)
I’ve only seen white, silver, black and red for sale in the UK.
Does anyone know the UK colour breakdown, and if any of the other colours made it here.
Thanks in advance.
From the 987 brochure;
Though GT Silver was also available in Uk. Platinum and Arctic silver has also appeared on non PTS cars, but I think only in North America.
Always gutted Speed Yellow wasn’t a standard option but was available on the Cayman R. Nearly went PTS but felt paying extra on a ‘standard’ colour at the time was a bit much. Though I’d have a very rare example now, one of 3 in the world!
Only known PTS 987 Spyders; Speed yellow, Meteor grey, Riviera blue and Azure blue.
I believe these are just North American figures, but the colour trend reflects the other markets also;

I love my standard silver 987.2 Spyder - over 127,000 miles now - it is EPIC
Good going, had mine on its first track outing, WOW what a car.
Took a few people out and the comments were "I can feel the suspension working" which they meant in a good way as the car was just giving so much feedback even to the passenger.
Turned the PSM off and was able to get some really nice angles, the chassis control is northing short of perfection and the steering feel delightful, huge fun on road and track.

Very nice.
Am I right in thinking worldwide number for the 987 Spyder were circa 1900? Does anyone know how this compares to the numbers for the 981 GT4 and Spyder models?

1883 was previous figure I had for 987 Spyder production, 235 of which were UK cars.
Though I saw a post by Porsche on Facebook or Twitter recently which had the figure at around 1600. But I can’t find that post again.

Super rare cars then.
I own a black with ceramics, buckets and manual so I think my car in the UK must be more or less one a kind and the ceramics are so superior to the steels, on track the brakes are incredible and lovely on the road too.

UK Spyder’s with; Buckets, Spyder wheels, Manual, Sports exhaust alone brings the numbers very low.
Add ceramics on top of that spec and they will possibly be less than double figures.
The 1667 is a new figure but you’d hope the source is accurate.

Nice one, yes my car has the Spyder wheels, PSE, sports chrono, buckets and manual. It has got AC and PCM 3.0 Radio/Nav which adds some weight back in but are features I use, not having them would be an issue for me. Though I've pulled 10-15kg out car with a lighter battery also.
Including the 911R is the 987 Spyder the lowest production number Porsche post 2010?
I think some of the GT2/3 R/S models are lower numbers pre 2010 but not sure post?

Seem to recall when I looked into the numbers some 9 years ago the above figure rings a bell, certainly not as low as 1600

Considering its history and rarity, quite a fair price in my opinion.

Hmm
I think it’s probably priced around where a low mileage left hand drive car would be priced on the continent.
One changed hands in Switzerland for circa that earlier this year I think although I don’t know if Swiss cars are a pricing anomaly.
Personally I think it a bit of a waste of a PTS allocation but as it was Porsche themselves who spec’d it how can you argue?
It does nowt for me that silver wouldn’t personally.
