Don't have a picture, but mine was a 2.7 981 Cayman, Macadamia/Beige PDK. I had a 991.1 GTS at the time. Pretty big letdown.
The good part was I was teaching a kid I'm mentoring to drive -- he'd just turned 15. He was mighty stoked about getting to do it in the Cayman rather than his mom's Jeep Patriot.
That's been a couple years ago -- my 991 and my GT4 have both been spectacularly trouble free to the point I've not had another loaner. The time I did have a loaner it was a buzzing sound from Bose door speakers, nothing actually broken.

So anyone can drive the loaner, even if it's not legal to drive a regular car?
Best loaner ever. Pre 911 days, the Cayenne Diesel was in for some minor service on a Friday afternoon in late May. They needed some part and the Cayenne wouldn't be ready for about a week. I wasn't upset- Boxster S for the weekend and then some. So fun, and my wife was really annoyed at the service people who loaned me that car.
Every time we came to a state or country that didn't allow 15 year-olds to drive I was careful to turn back. You can all stop worrying. I was also extra cautious to make sure the Pirellis never saw anything below 40F, the rev-counter stayed well below 5000, the oil was changed every 3000 miles, and none of that soul-damning rock-and-roll ever profaned the speakers of that Cayman loaner.
Last summer I had my 991 in for some dashboard rattles, and they were getting a new delivery of loaner cars the same day. I asked if this beautiful Sapphire Blue Panamera was going to be in their service fleet, and they said it would be once the alternate transportation coordinator had checked it in. I waited 2 hours at the dealer and worked remotely on my laptop while she checked in the car. It is incredible driving a $100k rental car with 56 miles... for $0. My girlfriend and I had a blast exploring the mountains to the beaches of San Diego in this awesome car!
