Poise, precision, and power – the Porsche Cayman S embodies all three, and is widely regarded as one of the finest sportscars around. This 2008 example comes with the 3.4-litre flat six engine that was used in the Cayman S – non-S models got smaller capacity units – on this occasion, connected to Porsche’s six-speed manual transmission, and is tastefully specified throughout. It comes with the standard red brake callipers fitted to the Cayman S, but also features black alloy wheels which contrast the white bodywork brilliantly. Inside, the cabin has a black leather dashboard, with red and black leather seats. Having only three previous owners, the vendor describes the condition of the Cayman S engine, transmission, and bodywork as excellent, with paint and interior considered good. A full service history comes with ‘LV08 MYF’; a full Porsche dealer set of stamps until two years ago, and cared for by a Porsche specialist since. It also comes with owner’s manual, toolkit, and invoices of general work carried out over its indicated 52,400 miles.

Porsche’s introduction of the Grant Larson-designed mid-engined two-seater Boxster cabriolet was the result of several years of striving to reverse the company’s fortunes following the poor sales of the 928. The concept was presented at the North American International Auto Show in January 1993, and very well received by press and public. Production started in 1996 and, with its coupé ‘sister’, the Cayman, the Boxster would achieve the desired commercial result for Porsche, with both vehicles appealing to drivers who wanted to combine luxury motoring with excellent stability and dynamic performance. Styling was revised for the second-generation Boxster, which went on sale in 2005, with changes including larger wheel arches to accommodate wheels up to 19”, bigger side intake vents and redesigned headlights. That same year Porsche unveiled the Pinky Lai-designed three-door coupé Cayman S for the 2006 model year evolved from the second-generation Boxster, with the base model Cayman arriving in 2006. For the first six years Caymans were built by Valmet Automotive in Finland, with Boxster and Cayman production switching to the former Volkswagen Karmman plant in Osnabrück, Germany in 2012.

In summary:

· A fine example of Porsche’s popular and successful Cayman sportscar.

· Fitted with the 3.4-litre flat six engine found in the top-of-the-range Cayman S

· Comes with the highly-desirable six-speed manual gearbox.
