wow. and i thought they were rare as hens teeth.

[Zyp]

That's a very rare CarrEra white model...

[LaurasOtherHalf]

No chrono, no a/c, no radio.

I'm oot!

[SFO]

no LiOn battery, so not a true light weight

[Bennachie]

Impossibly rare, potentially unicke(sic.)..........

If you are after a proper Spyder (without aircon, with buckets etc.) this is about as good as you will get.

'Proper' Spyders dont have the Boxster badge on the back, irrespective of seats, a/c, pccb's etc, etc, etc.....

Totally agree re the badge. I saved a massive number of grammes by removing the Boxster bit (although it does, of course, reduce traction)

[rob.kellock]

Is removal of the badge part of the light weight ethos?

So if mine is clearly not a proper Spyder - Boxster badge, steel brakes, aircon and music - what the hell is it?

Anyhow, aircon was bloody brilliant whilst dodging heavy rain showers in France last week and I wouldn't want to do 1200 miles in 5 days without some tunes to keep us going!

If I were in the market for a weekend toy, this would be the one

Nah, he means his.

He won't be laughing when he finds out that his warranty is now void

[anonymous-user]

I wonder how many have been specced without air con and more so a radio.

I think I'd feel slightly embarassed at telling a passenger that there was no radio fitted to save weight , fair enough in a stripped out track car but the weight of a radio in a Spyder !!!

Off to check garage, that's a mirror of my car.

Best spec for a Spyder, who says no air con affects values, 41k for a 10 plate car ;-)

Doubly void - the interior Boxster sticker on me cup holders also 'fell' off....

(yes, I have cup holders in mine....where else can I put my frothy cappachapalattechinoeunachspiss?)

[rob.kellock]

It would be 43k if it had aircon

I had a mate who drove with only 1/2 a tank to save weight LOL. Admittedly he was the fastest on the track :P
