- It's about time a 987 owner in the UK reaches out to me to feature their car on this channel.
In this video Tom kindly shares his Porsche Cayman 987.2 Sport with us. Check out the spec on this one! Xenon headlights, extended leather, and Bose. Hard to find on a 987.

The Best Cayman is the one you can afford!!!!!! 💯🥂🥂🥂 what a genuine down to earth “TRUE”statement
987.2 owner here love it and think it’s the best looking of all Cayman generation.
What a great piece and what a mature owner for someone in their 20s! I’m one of the quiet 987.2 owners of 3 years now. It’s odd because most things in life feel “normal” after a week or two, but I feel special every time I get in this car. I agree that the analog (raw) experience is superb. The car size and remarkable cornering are just right. I keep up on it meticulously and while I hoon it on backroads I feel I’m only scratching its performance envelope. I suspect at some point I will get a 997.2 911 for a new experience but I’ve been holding holding off because the 987.2 experience is so rewarding. It’s the only car I’ve owned that if I take a work trip and don’t drive it for a few days I feel a longing to take it out again.
Thanks John!
My Cayman 987.1 makes me smile every time I drive it. I’ve had it over a year now with absolutely no issues. Love it!
Had my 987.2 for 3 weeks now and loving it 👍
Enjoy!
I’d happily let you see my Cayman 987.1. It’s a stunning car and be great to see what you think. Not only that but it’s a Tiptronic so should create some divided opinions:)
Yes please!
I have a 987.1 that was the Hartech development car for the oversized engine so it has the 3.9 engine with 352 Hp. It’s not the greatest spec car but I don’t care about all of that , it’s got air con that blows ice cold and it’s all about the drive for me . Love it .
Picked up a 2010 guards red base, well speced 6spd in March and I'm loving it! Owned a few BMW 2002's many years ago, 2 Corvettes in the last 5 years,(C6&C7, both manuals), and the Cayman is the car I'll keep as it's a throw back to a real drivers car with fairly modern comforts and it's plenty fast enough to land me in jail.
Great video and special thanks to Tom for sharing his car and the story behind it. Cheers from Charlotte, NC
1:44 - Combination of a hydraulic steering, 6 cyl engine, shortest wheelbase in the lineup, most flared rear fenders and manual gearbox is probably everything that you need from any Porsche. Btw, I have nearly identical, black 987.2S on CIIS wheel. Cheers!
Rear flares fenders on the 987 are beauty birds eye view shows how it actually comes out
Actually, the 987 has a longer wheelbase than the 997.
@@flat6croc you're right. It was only the shortest Cayman.
Hi i have a 987.2 with same all leather interior spec and sports steering wheel. fantastic spec
Love it. Have replaced the Entertainment system with a JVC with reversing camera
finishes it off
2011 .2S same color and wheels as this and I love love love it. Never selling. Bought mine before prices went through the roof and still not selling
Sold my 2017 370z Nismo and I plan on buying a 987.2 this summer
Thanks for the video! Really enjoy the content on here and love seeing another great 987.2 Cayman S. Totally agree with Tom’s comments where this is the sweet spot of value, fun and reliability. My car is actually very similar to Tom’s one, looks like they were separated from factory! 987.2 Cayman S Black, xenons, manual and some other goodies as well. Been an amazing car for me and has taken me to Scotland and across Europe multiple times. Would love to have it on the channel at some point, if you live in the South East I’m at the London Porsche club meets quite often.
Your car sounds like another awesome 987, congrats! Yes I'm based South East too, so we can't be that far apart. If you'd like to feature your car on this channel (and I'd love to feature it), please drop me an email at maxrevscars@gmail.com
987.2 is always a great choice......If it is a 987.1, the base is the better choice. Just saw some videos of someone who bought a 987.1 "S" for just a short time and now oil consumption and the threat of bore scoring is ruining the ownership experience. Repairs are 12K+ which bring you right into the 987.2 territory with no fears or concerns about all the engine issues.....
Mine be my videos you have seen 😔 it’s not ideal. Getting it looked into tho. Not giving up on her just yet
@@JoeTalksCars Excellent....I hope you can resolve.....Your car is a beauty....Good luck and keep us posted....
Crested headrests: THE most important option :)
My 987.1 has them (ex-demonstrator - thus temptingly specced) and they make me smile every time I get inside. I know that’s silly, but I enjoy it.
Hi Guys,
Great video!
It seems as though I am following in Tom's footsteps as I also have bought a Cayman S Sport at 22, only bought it recently therefore haven't drove it to its full potential but its good people are finally talking about the S Sport!
Cheers,
Adam
Great video, loved it.
I own a gen 1 cayman s manual box with catless headers and a short shifter , I bought it 3 years ago as it was a car that Hartech sold which had all the 6 cylinders full rebuilt and they used nikasil liners which only the turbo and GT cars use so for me it’s going to be a keeper for life I love the car and next mods are the whole interior to be wrapped in alcantara and leather mainly alcantara
What...? No memory seats...?
Just kidding :) Great car for sure. The extended leather makes the interior. Have it on my 987.1S. Has been featured on this channel a long time ago.
Hold on to this one is my advice
I subscribed long time ago because of the 987 content.
This is a stunning stealthy looking Gen 2 S. Yep mine doesn't have the Xenons yet considering the rarity of the R then the lights were the least of my priorities of all the hallowed R must haves. This S has it all huh, what a find. What with the Lepsons refurb (best wheel place in the country) he's got it going on!
Ha, thanks mate!
Enjoyed the 'chat'. Wonder if you saw my 2011 Gen 2 2.9 on Autotrader back in November last year when you were surfing? PDK, Sport/Sport+, Sports exhaust, GT steering wheel and paddle shift, heated seats and as I now know, extended leather! and 29000 miles. I was the only non trade caller in 6 weeks and the private seller wouldn't move on the £22,500 price. Seems I got a bargain looking at current prices. interesting comment about the tyres. Mine looked fine on initial inspection but when I went to have the tracking set up, they had indeed perished within the grooves. £800 for 4 fully rated Bridgestones didn't break the bank though. Gearbox? My previous Gen 1 2.7 was manual and I much prefer it to the paddles but using the PDK in auto is nuts! Happy driving.
Thanks Peter, I’m good at waffling bollocks😂😅
Interesting! Didn’t see that particular example, sounds like a lovely spec, enjoy!
My 2006 987.1 has absolutely 0 options. Black over sand beige. I think it’s perfect
new 987 owner here, from the z4, wow, what a car
If this is your first Cayman… oh boy!! Goood times ahead😁. Happy for you, lots of 987 content here👍🏼
I absolutely love my .2
Now has catless headers and a stage 2 tune. Running awesome and is as fast as my buddies 3.8 911.
I’ve been owning a 987.1 for 3 years, just love it , hope I’ll never have to sell it... it’s my first Porsche experience , now I can’t see anything but Porsches, want to have both this cayman 987.1 and a new 911 turbo s in particular.
Wow! Enjoyed the info and learned a lot. Just bought my 987.1 after looking a long time. Wish I could have gotten a .2 so I could sleep better, but you’re right, perhaps I read too much of the negative issues. Mine only had 44k and once again you’re right, it needed a bit more maintenance attention that you mentioned. All in all I love it, but it doesn’t keep me from looking still.
Very nice car. Well spec’d. 👍🏾👍🏾
nice to see that others have that car too, I have the 987.2 pdk pasm + H&R.....but my hart goes with the 991.2 S.....my third one when prices come back from the moon.
all my friends got a 991.2 turbo S, 3 in our group i got a 987.2 lol cos its the best looking porsche and fun to drive
Great video -
Top guy. Enjoyed that
Extended leather: great option
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Best looking 987 I’ve seen
Thanks!
@@tom24057 I’ve just seen it for sale on Pistonheads following Julian’s tip off…😢😂
@@noshism correct! Well spotted sir
987.2 base Cayman or Boxster is the way to go. No 987.1 IMS or bore scoring issues to worry about, and a completely new direct fuel injection mid-engine design as well.
987.2 owners don't shout out how great this car is. they just enjoy and don't share the fun they have. Last year I put this car onto my car collection and gave me a big smile! Latest 2012 s model with only 42000km. I just change the rim from 19 to 18 inches with more tires and it is so much fun to drive! If you owned one and had too much fun and consider buying 981 or 718 model, please drive newer model first before you selling 987.2 s model. They are totally different car! I am pretty sure with it. Trust me!
I had 987.1 , now got 987.2, it is a best looking generation ;)
987.2 is hard to beat. Enjoy
Nooo, 987.1 looks better , the front lights are cooler ))
@@ИванСычев-ж2э each to their own ;) I prefer the look of 987.2 headlights as these are similar to Carrera GT headlights 😎
Great video, super car and nice chat. It would be great to get a 987.1 S Sport featured on the channel- it's a rare car and commands a significant premium.
I'm not sure I agree with your saying @max "The best Cayman is the one you can afford..." instead it should be changed to "the best Cayman is the Cayman R with 3 pedals and an impeccable service history". 🤣
Ha! Yes, manual R is hard to beat….
Incidentally my old S Sport sold recently on CollectingCars. You can still view it in their ‘sold’ section. 8 owners now I believe! (From memory I was no 4/5)
@@tom24057 interesting- I was shocked how much they go for now. @max needs to get on it and find an owner!
@@1530swimmer the owner is on the cayman Facebook group I think!
@@tom24057 I just watched this video and put two and two together…current owner of Tom’s old Sport (395/700) 👍🏻
THIS CHANNEL NEEDS YOU AND YOUR CAR😁. If you’re up for it please drop me a line at maxrevscars@gmail.com
He sounds like a walking rennlist form
hang on a mo...is this by chance the one at Paragon a month or so ago which is back on the market as the owner (as discussed on the owners forum) now wants a GT4. Is that one and the same chap?
Yes, me😂
@@tom24057 Ah ha! I figured as much! Good luck with your GT4 search Tom. Great video Max. Best regards.
@@tom24057 😂😂😂
@@julian987r4Thankyou Julian very kind! I’m sure I’ll do another video with max if/when I upgrade so you can hear me waffle for another 30mins😂😂🤦🏻♂️
@@tom24057 Ah well now you come to mention it, I have one word for you - ‘Decaf’ 😂 (I say that in good jest of course)
Don’t wait get a Cayman R before the prices spiral.
Nice spec car 😎
man this dude answered all the questions on my mind. Thanks a lot, great video for potential buyers. I was just wondering how he uses his iphone with stereo/music because I guess 987.2 does only use bluetooth for call.
Via an official Apple/Porsche 30pin adaptor :)
@@tom24057 Thanks a lot Tom. After watching video again and again now I am looking for 997.1 gt3 manuel =) Do you know where you ordered them online? Thanks a lot!
@@cankonukoglu5016 can order from Amazon I believe!
Max: great channel
Cool
There is no such car as a 987.2 Cayman Sport. There was a 987.1 Cayman S Sport limited edition.
Correct
have the same wheels in genuine silver, will change to BBS CII-R or OZ ultra legera.
Always good vibes
That is a primo spec.
Max how’s that new car coming??
I have a 987.2, but mines a Cayman convertible 😮.
does someone know if 15 inches wheels with vallon tires wouls be possible? sports car needscF1 wheels.....so long
mine gas Xenin too, its nor rare at all, like LED more, but xenon us ok.
Click bait! I thought high spec was going to mean loads of mods rather than parking sensors and black exhaust trims.
you need to get a 987 S SPORT only 700 ever made
I have one
Ooft he likes to talk!
Tom sold a S Sport OMG why??????
Wanted to upgrade into a 981 S 😅 But then sold that too and went back down to this 987.2
Fiester
Meglio la 987.1 S fidati
