Dear All,

After having ruled out the purchase of Cayman gts or carrera gts due to a change in my budget, I am now finalising the buy of a C2S. I have short listed two vehicles from OPCs, pretty similar apart from some details and would appreciate views from more experienced people.

Cars are same colour and equivalent wheels, car n. 1 is a one owner, 11 plate with 34k miles, car no.2 is a 4 owners 60 plate with 31k miles. Both drives beautifully, in both cases so far great service from the sale executives.
First one comes with the benefit of adaptive sport seats ( the other has manual sport seats), short shifter and chrono plus, otherwise spec is similar, sport exhaust included.

I terms of condition they are similar, although no. 2 has several stone chips on the bonnet ( fair enough...) and one on the windscreen, the other is pretty clean.

In terms of price no. 1 is £2k more expensive.

I know that choice can be subjective and that the difference is little, however it would be great to get some advices!

Thank you in advance

Is. No1 Bristol and no 2 Portsmouth if so Car no1 is a 2011 my and is def. worth the extra cash! No2 is also a 2010my and not as good spec!
Given the choice no2 I would not touch with a barge pole

Hi, you are spot on, how did you know cool....are you the gentleman from the Bristol OPC? Ahh ahh, only joking, thanks a lot for the advice. It was exactly my feeling since I tried the Bristol one, I felt like if it had been specced by myself.

Not that hard when there is only about 5 post 2010 manual c2s on the opc website!
Also the white Cardiff car looks nice but the Bristol is best of the bunch spec wise also says it's a 61 plate and not 11 plate?
Anyway enjoy!

Hi, yes the Bristol one is a 61 plate, I was wrong. Just put a deposit on it, can't wait to collect it and drive across the country!
