Default Does this Spyder spec exist?

Question for the Spyder experts - does the following spec 987 Spyder exist from the factory? This particular build would have been a lightweight special that someone specifically ordered, and I’m sure several of you may own a similar spec. Please reply with the color if you own something close.

6 speed manual
LWB
PSE
A/C delete
Radio delete
PCCB
Full leather
Spyder wheels
Short shifter

Thank you!

There’s a 987 Spyder in Vancouver with all those specs PLUS factory lightweight Lithium battery. Aqua Blue. Super rare.

If we are talking about the same Spyder (745143, the one and only ABM 987 Spyder delivered in Canada), its build sheet does not include PCCB, short shifter, or PSE. Perhaps these were post-build add-ons? Out of all 26 of the North American Aqua Blue Metallic 987 Spyders, there were only two that had the 450 PCCB option on their build sheets: 745688, a MY2011 US delivery, a very special one with a $95K MSRP; and 745096, a MY2012 US delivery, $84K MSRP.

Was originally a US model and all original options (including the Lithium battery).
One of a kind.

Ahh, that must be US MY2012 Spyder 745096, a very nice ABM build indeed. The Canadian reference threw me off.

My long-lost, three pedal cousin. Now, friendly neighbor to the North.

In North America, that does not appear to exist. I got down to A/C delete and then skipped to PCCB and the PCCB car that fits the description happens to have a radio.

Very cool car. Only 26 Aqua's, only 2 of those have PCCB's. My guess is you added the buckets after as there is one car with buckets, one with sport seats but the car with buckets is a cocoa interior.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I figured there have to be several cars with this exact “from the factory spec” and pcar-yvr and SCMike confirmed it. This ABM Spyder is simply beautiful - it reminds me of Eduardo’s ABM Spyder with the red full leather interior and LWB seats, but that one had A/C and radio.

Does anyone remember the 1 of 1 PTS Riviera Blue Spyder? It’s a real unicorn and has a great spec. SCMike can probably tell us the exact details of that car as well others close to the factory spec I’m searching for…

Awesome spec islaTurbine! I love the red color on the Spyder and it’s actually pretty rare too.

Riviera Blue Spyder is likely WP0CB2A85CS745178. There are only 4 PTS Spyders. This is for North America.
