1999 Porsche Boxster (986)
Smart, manual 986
series 2.5 Boxster showing just 69,900 miles with attractive spec and good
supporting history
Dating from June 1999, and supplied by Lindbrook
Porsche of Kent this earlier, pre -02 facelift example was built at the
Valmet factory in Finland (502) and features the venerable 2.5 flat-six sat
amidship which develops 201bhp enough to wing it from zero to sixty in 6.7
seconds and on to a top speed of 149mph.
Fitted here, with the
desirable 5-speed manual 'box the car is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic
(L92U) with contrasting black leather interior and electric Mohair hood with
plastic rear screen. We note the car is fitted with the following options,
17inch Carrera-look twist spoke alloys, staggered fitment (396), CD compartment
(424), coloured crest wheel centre caps (446), 6-speaker sound system (490),
wind deflector (551), front centre console - yes, this was an option! (581),
storage box atop engine cover in the cabin (584), On-board computer (659),
Becker CDR-22 stereo (695), leather door panels and dash (981) and pleated
leather seats (982).
Showing just 69,900 miles the car has covered a low
mileage for its age and presents well, evidently having been well looked after
by its lucky owners. The history file includes the V5C, owner's pack and
service book with 6 stamps (+ 2 hand written entries), the most recent stamped
service being in September 2020 at 69,849 miles plus a further 3 stamped brake
fluid changes, 4 stamps for long life guarantee condition reports and 1 for
airbag system checks. Furthermore, we find an impressive 17 old
MOTs on file in addition to the current MOT valid until January 2022 with
no advisories recorded and a selection of invoices dating back to
2010. Works of note include a recent £615 spend in October 2019 on 6 new
coils, cylinders 1-3 spark plug tubes and cylinders 1-3 variocam solenoids, cam
chain and slippers by RJC Automotive of Berkshire, invoices for the purchase of
these parts and a new air mass sensor in July 2020.
A look
through the MOT history shows the car has covered only approximately 16,000
miles in the last 16 years, which is not much, the car is clearly crying
out to be used and enjoyed more often - so get busy with those bidding fingers
on the keyboard and become the next owner of a rising star in the
Modern Classic world, a properly enjoyable and affordable yet practical Porsche.
