IHC Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I need to thank my good friend James @jimbob2911, who after servicing my son's car for me this week happened to mention he was putting P60 RSC up for sale. Well dad and son really shouldn't be let out together without supervision, so having spent the day with my new love the deal is struck. It was time to move on from my much loved MX-5, to something with more drama in its sound track! The forum has been a wealth of information to help me with my decision, not least the very useful threads maintained by previous owners - many thanks guys! Pic below shows it at its new home waiting for the pesky MX-5 to release the space in the garage! I'll very much look forward to meeting members over the next few months as I start to enjoy my new toy. Looking forward to an early spring, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome aboard Hi Gutley - too true, MX-5 rule is roof down if its not raining. @jimbob2911however seems convinced any porsche should be kept inside if it's wet out - very especially his one!

fat haggis Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 you got a nice car mate .. i remember different wheels on it ........ enjoy it its a great car ,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob2911 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 The wheels have been fully refurbed and never been on the road. Still sat rapped up . These will be back on it next week. You know me and cosmetics. There is salt on the road. I think the ones on it I bought from you !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 True, it "always" (i.e. for 7 yrs or so) had 19in crab claws from a 987. If it were me I'd sell them and or trade for 18in. The 19s look good but consensus is they don't drive as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHC Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Thanks for all the nice comments. The buying has started with a console spoiler switch now on the way from fleabay. As for the wheels, I just have to try it on the 19' Caws, simply because they look so very good (and their freshly refurbed). Sounds very much mx5ish where by its easy to oversize the wheels and impact handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 If you're going to track it, tyres are notably cheaper in 18in too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Funnily enough... Ive just sold a 2006 SLK 350 that I've loved for the last 18 months. On the hunt for a 987. Not in a rush though, so may be for next summer yet. Smoking a cheap old car at present while the hunt is on and adding pennies to the kitty.

trev Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'm looking for something with a lot less miles if I'm honest. Also happy ro get a 2.7 as well. Red in colour for first choice and maybe silver if i can't find a red one. Not rushing though. Have a smoker for the winter which is also staying after I've bought a 987, cos its a bit of a modern classic and rare in the condition this one is in.
