Description
Highly desirable manual Boxster 'S'; fantastic factory specification
with many desirable options; huge main dealer service history with well
over £5k spent in maintenance at Porsche alone; showing just under 93,000
miles
Once regarded as one of the best-value ways
into Porsche ownership, the 986 Boxster has seen a marked rise in appreciation
in recent years as enthusiasts recognise it for the engaging sports car it has
always been.
Of the range, the Boxster S is
widely regarded as the model to have, benefitting from a more powerful 3.2-litre
flat-six engine, a six-speed manual gearbox and uprated brakes and suspension,
giving it a noticeably sharper and more rewarding driving experience.
Having covered just under 92,000 warranted
miles, this example is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and is accompanied by
an impressive service history, boasting a remarkable 27 service stamps, 23 of
which are from Porsche main dealers. This is further supported by an extensive
history file containing invoices far too numerous to list individually,
including over £5,000 spent on maintenance at Porsche alone. Quite possibly one
of the best-maintained 986 Boxster’s on the market today.
Furthermore, the car benefits from an extensive factory
specification, including Porsche crest embossed head restraints, a three-spoke
steering wheel, cruise control, Hi-Fi sound package and automatic climate
control, to name but a few. It also appears to have been fitted with the
desirable Porsche Tequipment aluminium gear lever and handbrake, a sought-after
period accessory.
Overall, this Boxster presents
in smart and honest condition. The Arctic Silver Metallic paintwork retains an
excellent depth of shine and is complemented perfectly by the original 17-inch
'Twist' alloy wheels and contrasting red brake callipers. As expected of a car
that has clearly been enjoyed over its 25 years, there are a handful of minor
cosmetic imperfections, all of which are shown in the accompanying photographs.
Nevertheless, these do little to detract from what is an exceptionally
well-presented and eminently usable example.
Starting and driving around site for photography and video exactly as
one would expect from such a meticulously maintained Porsche, this desirable
Boxster S represents a rare opportunity to acquire a particularly well-specified
example with an irrefutable service history and maintenance record.
With well in excess of its guide price spent on
servicing and upkeep alone, this surely represents excellent value for money
Porsche motoring.
