I'm speaking with a seller and was curious. That's a small amount and I wonder how many might be totaled or turned into full time track cars. Thanks for your help.

I'm starting to wonder if you missed the image just a handful of posts prior to your question ?? ...it not only has the specific number of cars produced in each paint color, but also shows the data in a pie graph with Carrara White shown as the most common color for a Cayman R. Not a small amount by Cayman R standards.

I did see the pie chart but it doesn't show how many was delivered to which country. Personally I love Carrera White. I did missed an opportunity to purchase a Speed Yellow R. I was haggling with the dealer got the price, told him I'd like to sleep on it and when I came back the next day in the late afternoon it was sold. I didn't know only 11 existed.

Haha yes, I am actually repairing this car right now. It is almost ready for the road once again.

The only color I prefer over the Peridot green that's in my garage. That's so nice! If you ever decide to sell.....

If you've been taking pictures/video while repairing, it'd no doubt be beneficial to make a thread chronicling the repair process. That sort of transparency could go a long way during the sales process for people like me who might be considering it, probably resulting in a willingness to pay a bit more.

Right now, I'm sorting the database by color, USA/Canada, and Price. Here is the link to the data base: complete 987.2 Cayman R database
Thanks for all the work and understandable to have it locked......was pretty surprised at the rarity of some builds like only 2 no radio-no a/c-6 speeds. (and andy7777 your car was $5 less than mine, I failed ha)

Unfortunately there is not much documentation for the repairs. I wish I had taken more pictures during the process. That should be fine though as I don’t intend to sell it anytime soon. I have installed a roll cage and carbon fiber bucket seats already to race it.

I have a stripper for sure. The one I am curious about is the $124k priced black one. It looks like every single leather option was checked off. It's $54k more than my basic CR!

I'll say that the only option my car didn't have that im sorry about is the better lights. The base halogens are terrible (and I'm getting older).

After I got my stripper I did add SC and PSE through a dealer. Since then the price of the PSE has gone up by about $1000.

Nothing a high-quality drop-in HID kit or LED bulbs can't fix.

I've read that both of these can cause melting issues if you don't get the proper wattage or cooling. Does anyone have a good recommendation? I like Sylvania Powersport but don't have much experience with LED bulbs.
