That's one of the nicest looking Rs. Great choice!

 

ok

 

I am not sure if this thread is still alive but Huge thanks for the work which was done. After a 8 month search I finally found an R that I was after. It should be delivered next week and I am very excited.

Let's keep this Registry going... it could easily provide 20+ years of information to future Cayman R enthusiasts / collectors.

Hi,
Hope the thread is still alive.
Here's mine and I think a very early one. It has now 59 tkm on tacho.
I bought it this summer. Interior two-toned Sand-Beige Leather /Black Alcantra.

1. CU790070 (built in Uusikaupunki Finland)
2. 20/1/2011 (Registrated in Germany)
3. Aqua Blue
4. PDK
5. Yes
6. Uusimaa
7. Finland

I think this is the earliest one so far in this thread, if I didn't miss something. It looks like this was a fully optioned press car. Has AC, PCM and Sport exhaust.
The colors exterior/interior are fabulous.

 

Nice sand beige, not sure I've seen more than a couple that aren't a black interior. Very nice 🙂

 

Love it!!!!

 

Just got my Cayman R this week. One drive in and I'm loving this wonderful little car.

Here it is, eagerly awaiting the next drive

 

Congratulations!

Central radiator on a MT car? Was this an option or was it added by a prior owner?

 

That was a previous owner's addition. He lived in the Southwest and saw high temps on 100+ degree days. I don't know that I'll notice a difference here in Virginia, but there you have it.

And as I look closely, I also notice how good the little Cayman is at scooping up fall leaves.

 

Yesterday I got into a discussion with a person on the Production Numbers of the Cayman R vs. 987.2 (only) Spyders. I did not realize he was in Germany and he sent a picture of a German Online (a German Rennlist sorta I guess) site for Porsches there. I attached the information (pic below) he sent for only purposes on what it is and by no means is this guaranteed info. But it is interesting data. Especially the showing of Cayman R's made in CY 2010 for a car called a MY 2012. The guy practically swore this was straight from the person who got it from the "inside".


The following is the English Translation of the German words.....Hello Cayman Friends,

I just got the production figures for the Cayman R from the historical archive of Porsche.

2010: 10

2011: 977

2012: 151

That makes a total of 1138 vehicles and the Cayman R thus a truly rare “growth”. The Historical Archive has also confirmed the production figures for the Spyder.

2009: 33

2010: 1418

2011: 493

So it makes a total of 1944 Boxster Spyders. Personally, I was astonished that fewer vehicles were produced and sold by the Cayman R, which is reasonably suitable for everyday use, than the Spyder.

Hello @rshea I am trying to find some history regarding a family member's Cayman R. Was the database ever published? Thanks Bike5

 

Are you trying to find out which vin it is based on pics/options? Or are you trying to find where the car currently is now? If the latter, that will take time to investigate. Otherwise, I’m sure we could find the VIN or narrow down to a couple of cars.

 

Thanks for your response @Bxstr . We have the car and I wondered if it is in the database. I also thought I might be able to find some history of the car. It's been in the family for a couple of years and was tracked in the Indy area, but I am unsure of the history prior to that.
