Porsche Cayman

0 Comments
Here we have a car that is a dream for many car fans, but has been abandoned on the roadside by someone in Dubai.
Edit 06.04.2013: The photo is no longer embeddable, but you can still view it here. The Cayman is the cheapest coupe by Porsche, but more expensive than its open version, the Boxster.
The car pictured is a pre-facelift-model, meaning it is older than two years and has 245 or 295 bhp. It at least runs 258 km/h (160 mph) and is, as every Porsche should be, a proper sportscar.
Used examples cost at least about 30000€ at the moment.
So, even with a missing bumper, there are enough people who would love to take this car.
If it was clean and undamaged, it would be more similar to this one:

Rolls Royce Silver Shadow and Porsche 911

Here we have a nice combo on a farm in Australia.

Both cars were expensive when they were built. Nowadays, they are not extremely expensive anymore, because they are not that rare.
The Silver Shadow I, also known as Silver Wraith, has been built about 17000 times and is nowadays available for around 10000€ in good condition.
The Porsche, which has been produced in much larger numbers, nevertheless costs at least 15000€ for a good example.
Both cars were built in the second half of the 1960's.
I can't imagine a reason why the owner of the farm lets them and many other cars rot there, but he won't sell them and their condition does not really look excellent.
Both cars were many men's dream when they were new and looked like this:
