I was in the same position with other toys except the Emira was supposed to be my daily driver. I was lucky and managed to secure a GR86 from the second batch that went on sale a couple of weeks ago. I did consider a 718 4.0, and then saw the spyder RS but Porsche’s attitude on “special” cars...

I cancelled my Emira months ago but have still be lurking and watching the market on autotrader, as I spent so much time watching/reading loving the car whilst waiting for it to arrive that it felt hard to just switch off from it. I’m glad that I did cancel because stories like this and the...

Something else you can do in addition to what @JohnHoward suggests is you swap around your no claims bonus from a cheaper car to the Emira. Or if you have been insured with the same company for a couple of years and haven’t had any claims then you can ask if they will match the no claims...

That sounds ace, how long are you taking to do that?

I did the trip last year. I guess it depends how long you want to take to do the trip, but I did east to west. Stayed in Inverness for 1 night then did: Day 1 - Inverness to Wick. Stayed in an Airbnb Here. Day 2 - Wick round to Tongue. Stayed at Salmons Landing. This was the best place we...

What a great trip. This is what I wanted to do on my Emira last summer but ended up taking the Type R instead. The views were absolutely breathtaking. I want to do it again this summer but have most of my trips planned already Le mans, Normandy WW2 sites & Pyreneese in June/Jul. Alps + RWC...

Sorry to link back to a post a little while ago. But just bought this, and I’m over the moon!

How much do GT430s tend to go for? I saw a couple last year up for sale on the 90s region. I assume they hold value pretty well?

Officially cancelled 21 Feb, received my refund (both 2k & 3k) this morning. Feeling quite sad about it now it’s actually done. But feel it was the right decision.

I don’t even see it as a hard decision. No matter how good the Emira is you can always order a brand new one in the spec you want in a couple of years time. Emira is at the start of its production run and will be here for years to come. It’s largely why I have cancelled mine for an opportunity...

Definitely a step up in cost from the Emira, but I wouldn’t have thought the cost of ownership for a Macca would be that different from a Gallardo. The thing that put me off about the GT4 or Porsche products in general was/is just that they are a bit common. Even the “special ones” there will...

Either a 570s or a GT. I’m not overly fussed, the extra storage space in the GT would be nice but not a deal breaker. To be honest I’ve also looked at a couple of 540c I really like this one - https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/14582259 My only criteria really is, a loud colour, nose lift...

Love it! I’ve formally cancelled today, I’d made my mind up a little while ago but I’m looking at getting into a McLaren as well for the interim at least. Hopefully look back at the Emira in a year or so when/if there’s a GT or a cup version in the future!
