Saw that on their Instagram earlier, absolutely stunning. But who orders a coveted PTS coloured Spyder and then sells it 2 months later??!! 🤷‍♂️

Not much fun to be had from 700 miles of running it in...

They'd need to be making a fair bit over list to give up something like that. And then Ashgood need to make their bit, so dear knows how much that is up at now.

Someone on Boxa.net has been offered £10k over what he paid for his Spyder and is considering it, money talks with some, I buy cars I love and don’t see them as throwaway objects like some do

I find that the type of folk that can have pretty much anything they like, get really bored really fast.


& Ashgood do give good money for cars they want. They bought a Boxster 3.4S PDK off me for pretty-much retail money in the last place I worked, shipped it back & still took a mark-up on it.

I’d much rather have a mint standard low mileage R32 than this highly modified one..

I still miss my R32, if tax wasn’t £600/yr I’d have still had it as my daily

I've just recently sold mine and I've never been so relieved to see a car go. The tax was £620 by direct debit, and daily average of 18-22mpg, with not a lot of noise or go to show for it.

You’ve basically summed up why I’ve not bought one yet!!

I did look at the early ones before I had a GTI a few years back, as they fell into the cheaper bracket at £305. Not many about though.

Frustrating, because with the DSG it was a great daily, and I think a full Milltek system would transform it (but for me I knew there was no point as I wasn't keeping it). If the tax was half and the MPG at least towards 30 on a gentle commute then I definitely would have kept it longer, but £70 of Super a week to do 10 miles each way to work and bit of running about at the weekend (while driving like a granny) was just too much.

Always in the back of your mind that a remapped R would be getting at least an extra 100bhp and be doing near twice the MPG while going faster...

Would make a nice cheap runabout, would be a shame for him to break it.
