Lot details

Registration No: PN07 KTU
Chassis No: WP0ZZZ98Z7U753659
MOT: January 2025

  • Finished in the classic combination of Arctic Silver with Black leather upholstery
  • Desirable five-speed manual gearbox, Porsche side script, Black roof and Black alloys
  • Quoted 242bhp / 201lbft and reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and 162mph
  • Detailed service history with expenditure since 2018 totalling over £17,000 (including an engine refresh)
  • Great value, mid-engined Porsche fastback

Less powerful but more reliable than the ‘S’ variant, the entry level Cayman arrived in July 2006. Faster than many previous generation 911s, Porsche’s hardtop, mid-engined, two-seater was also more dynamically balanced and driver friendly. Possessing greater torsional rigidity than the Boxster Convertible with which it shared a platform, the Fixed Head Coupe was able to utilise stiffer suspension and thus enjoyed even better handling / roadholding. Powered by a DOHC 2.7 litre ‘Flat Six’ engine allied to either manual or Tiptronic transmission, the Cayman had some 242bhp / 201lbft and was reportedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and 162mph. Styling cues borrowed from Porsche’s back catalogue (356, 550 Coupe and 904 Coupe) helped with the aesthetics, while the ergonomically designed cabin was suitably driver orientated.

A serial Porsche 911 and Cayman owner, the vendor was drawn to ‘PN07 KTU’ because of the fastidious way it had been looked after by its previous custodian. A Metropolitan Police Royalty and Specialist Protection officer, the latter spent over £17,000 on the car between 2018 and 2023. Marque specialist 911Box carried out most of the work including: a thorough £7,931.88 engine overhaul (new IMS and crankshaft bearings, clutch and timing chains etc) at 79,833 miles, fitting a Dansk sports exhaust (£2,387.87) at 85,819 miles and the most recent major service (£876) last October at 103,405 miles. Other expenditure encompassed new rear brake discs, replacement front springs and air-con re-gassing. Ordered via A I Motokinisi of Cyprus to take advantage of the Mediterranean island’s lower taxes, chassis 753659 was built to right-hand drive specification complete with heated, hard-backed sports seats, 18-inch Cayman S alloy wheels and Black leather upholstery. Attractively finished in Arctic Silver with a contrasting Black roof, rear spoiler and side scripts, the two-seater is warranted to have covered some 110,000 miles from new. Housed within the accompanying leather-bound history folder, the service book contains ten stamps as well as numerous invoices, old MOTs and a Porsche Certificate of Production.
