Default World Wide Cayman R Registry

The Cayman R by any standard is a unique and excellent sports car. It was a special model in part because of it's cherished Porsche factory R designation. The R was only built in 2011 and was marketed as a 2012 model year. It is estimated....(no one seems to know for sure) that there were only 1421 Cayman R produced for sale world wide. It would be nice to know where they are, when they were produced, color, PDK or manual, and carbon fiber buck seats or not. We could probably track much more but I wanted to keep it simple. More detail and pictures and certainly welcome! I am suggesting that all the world wide Cayman R owners post the following information. I will track the information and post it periodically...say ever 25 posts or so so that everyone can see the results. It may also serve as a way to connect to other R owners in your area.
Lets see what happens. You can find information on the cars decals or certificate of sale. Post what you can....

1. post the last 6 digits of your Vin Number
2. date of manufacture
3. color
4. PDK or Manual
5. Carbon fiber sport seats...Yes or no
6. Your Province, State, City or District
7. Country

Here is my post:
1. 793080
2. 5/11
3. Peridot Metallic
4. PDK
5. yes
6. Washington
7. USA

Might be interesting to learn more about our limited production car.
Enjoy.

Added you both to the registry. Cman21, looks like our cars are only 15 vehicles about and manufactured on the same production schedule.
Thanks for your support. I am also collecting data on Pelican and the PCA Cayman site.

Default Cayman R registry

Thanks all, I have you in the data Base. It's going well and It looks like we have 2 of the 3 know Cayman R's from New Zealand already registered!
Thanks.
If anyone has any good date on the number of units sold by country that would be helpful.
