Ah I was getting myself confused thinking of the 981 2.7. You're right, it's the 2.9 when you're talking 987.

Its not DFI though.

Deposit down on a 987, pick up tomorrow :cool:. It’s a 3.4 but with a Porsche rebuilt engine with the updated coating on the pistons. Needs a bit of tlc on the exterior and the wheels need a refurb - but mechanically it seems really sorted and being a 1 owner car there’s stacks of history with it.

This is the only pic I have at the moment from when I picked it up. Weather is atrocious at the moment and it desperately needs a deep clean!

It's quite an early on on a 55 plate, the chap who owned it drove to London to pick it up from Manchester and has owned it since.

The colour is Python Green. I would definitely try to see one in person if you are considering that colour as it can look completely different in photographs, especially under artificial light. I was a bit nervous for this reason but when I saw it in person I was very happy with the way it looks.

The car in general is great fun. I had PDK in my last car but the manual definitely adds a bit of involvement. I'm just trying to put miles on now because I've been keeping it under 5K revs to break the engine in. I think 500 miles of that will be enough!
