Cayman with a 3.8 911 Engine

[panthro]

Spotted this on AT when I did a search for "X51".
I know its a CAT D, but for £20k its had a lot of work done to it and seems very well finished. The 911 front end may not be to everyones liking, but that could be in part to its CAT D rating.

i really really like that for some reason. im sure it will make purists spit tea all over their keyboards and your typical boxster wont touch it because its not all "opc"

bet it goes like stink too

I think you'd have to be slightly bonkers to buy that.

+1, 20k on a mashup which will shed money and be very hard to sell on.

Looks great though.

 

[Clarkey]

Looks brilliant, love it.

 

[jigger]

That's going to be rapid for 19k. Very good deal if it's all been done properly.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Looks fantastic, but i think i'd prefer that matte BMW in the background.

Am I blind? Where does it say it's CAT D?

 

[panthro]

You're right it doesnt, it says V car, thought it said Cat D.

The 911 front end it really not for me. It looks massive and front heavy in those pics. I bet it's quick though!

It's on a V Car in which case it may be a CAT C or D.

Odds on CAT C.

20k for a written off parts bin special - NO THANKS!

20k gets you a lovely 2.9DFI Boxster with warranty and better handling or an older Boxster S or Cayman S.

Anyone would be bonkers to pay more than 12k for that!

Ah right, thanks. Learn something new every day

 

[wingman]

Not to my taste.

 

[Housey]

Odd that the engine and front end have been replaced, one might infer from that a pretty major prang took place. Not my idea of 20K well spent even if the bits sound good. It has a 911 engine as standard, just not the same capacity.

 

[DAIR]

Is this a common conversion?!

 

[thepharcyde]

A right cut and shut haha
