The Official Gen-1 Pictures Only Thread....Shhh, No Talking

I like this thread on the 718 Spyder/GT4 page so what do you say we on get one going here? :)

From my past Gen-1's...

Spyder No. 2 - Something about the Gen-1 curves..

My previous Spyder #239:

Earlier years (when I was actually able to squat) with my three amigos:

Nice...

LOVE the "eye trail" from the pointy edge side window (Cayman / 911) to the power domes and back to the tail-lights. Such an EPIC design that got lost on the Gen-2 (981)and Gen-3 (718).

Whoops! Too much TALK! :roflmao:

Dueling Spyders...

A quick shot from Spyder owner buddy in his GT3T as I pilot his GR Spyder in front of my old Silver/Red up a little local hill climb. What are friends for, right?
And what a GREAT small nimble roadster.

Like your choice of cars, present and past. Esp. the two Elan +2 - I used to have a 1971 Elan +2, not the S variety (he said wistfully), a much under-appreciated Lotus by the public. Also noted the San Anselmo connection. Spent my mis-guided youth there, graduated from Drake High. Did some crazy driving of the back roads, back when Marin Co. was still deserted country. Betcha it’s not idyllic like it was in the ‘50s! But a Spyder is always a Spyder.

Ooops. No talking. Shhhh...

That's a face full of pure joy! And what a gathering! Great pics.

Paint Correction, New Decals, Wheel Spacers and Fresh Ceramic Coat...

First fill up! Actually just got this car, found it here on Rennlist after a 2 year search.

They say never drive your heroes, but they couldn't be more wrong.

Love the Pepita inserts.Adds such a great traditional touch to this quintessential roadster.

Nice build!

Please also note the pepita floormats… ;)

Sorry I’m breaking the silence, you can’t post up a pic like that without answering the question “did you drive it” and “how does it compare to the Spyder”!

No, I’ve seen a few accidents with borrowed cars and I make it a rule to not ask or accept, especially when that one car is worth more than my whole fleet. The owner swapped with the GT4 owners and the Singer owner was also generous, swapping cars a few times with the others.

The pics may not be clear but we had

987.1, 987.1 RS60 Spyder, 987.2 Spyder, Cayman R, 2 x GT4, GT4 RS, 997.1 and Singer Classic.

Sun out and tops up? :(

Wow love those seats

This counts right? I picked up 4 new wheels from Porsche for the Spyder. Waiting on the Michelin PS2 Rubber to arrive.

It’s late Winter in New Zealand and this was a B road trip with lots of dust etc. I will leave the top up until it’s guaranteed not to require a full interior clean afterwards.

Ah! Makes sense. Unless you are in the front of the pack? :)

Eclipse lighting

Just happened to catch this light coming through the trees during the eclipse.

Nice shot! Love the lines of our Spyders top or no top. Such a great car!

Nicely lined up on the front door edge and windscreen surround.

Truly hope this is no one of those before and after situations…;)

My son jumped out to take the picture as we thought it would be a cool shot. We didn’t hang around long, just in case…haha

I know that Spyder. :)

I love these cold clear winter days!
