Registration No: LV08 MYF
Chassis No: WP0ZZZ98Z8U772732
MOT: November 2024
Launched at the September 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Cayman S was a brave move for Porsche on the basis that it delivered nigh-on 911 performance but in a more dynamically balanced / driver friendly package. Autocar magazine judged it Britain's Best Driver’s Car of 2006 (beating a 911 Turbo into third place) and the mid-engined two-seater drew rave reviews worldwide. Possessing greater torsional rigidity than the Boxster convertible with which it shared a platform, the Fixed Head Coupe was able to utilise stiffer suspension and thus enjoyed even better handling / roadholding. Powered by a DOHC 3.4 litre ‘Flat Six’ engine allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the Cayman S had some 291bhp/251lbft at its disposal and was reportedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and 171mph. Styling cues borrowed from Porsche’s back catalogue (356, 550 Coupe and 904 Coupe) helped with the aesthetics, while the ergonomically designed cabin was suitably driver orientated.
Chassis ‘772732’ was manufactured in 2008 and was delivered on the 26th of June that year to its first owner by the Official Porsche Centre East London. Fitted with the desirable six-speed manual transmission, the Cayman S was specified with the leather interior pack (seats, doors, and dashboard), 19-inch alloys, top-tinted windscreen, air conditioning, SatNav, ParkAssist, PCM 2 with telephone module, Porsche branded centre console, floor mats, and red tail lights, the Cayman also features Pioneer Apple Carplay stereo and separate amplifier with Bluetooth connectivity. Finished from the factory in Porsche Carrara White paintwork, which is complemented by Black and Red leather interior upholstery, ‘LV08 MYF’ is offered for auction having covered a warranted 50,000 miles from new, and having just three former keepers.
Benefitting from notable recent expenditure, ‘LV08 MYF’ has received £3,100 worth of improvement with Northway Porsche in 2020 including new spark plugs and coil packs and brake discs and pads all round, and in 2022 c.£840 with Weissach Porsche specialists including auxiliary belt, cosmetic improvements, and servicing. Accompanied by the book pack with driver’s handbook and stamped service book, this illustrates seven services, all completed by main agents and specialists. Further accompanied by several past MOT certificates, previous invoices, and a current V5C document, the Cayman S has two sets of keys and a no advisory MOT certificate until November 2024. Rated as ‘Very Good’ or ‘Excellent’ throughout by the vendor, this is a low mileage and ownership example of one of the most drivable sports cars available today.
