The Appeal

The 987 took the original Boxster formula and made it simply better. The new car offered better build quality, more power and sharper front-end styling. In S spec, as here, that means close to 300bhp on tap.

Alongside that powerful 3.4L flat-six, this attractive light blue car has the desirable six-speed manual gearbox. It is a smart example with a well-kept blue leather interior featuring an upgraded infotainment system.

The history file shows a raft of work by specialists. We’re told that in recent years over £10,000 has been invested by its keepers, including fitting a new Porsche exhaust system. Other work has included a new lambda sensor, radiator clean, coolant system repairs and diagnostic testing. The service book shows a run of regular stamps by main dealers and specialists up to April 2026, since when the car has done few miles.

Well specified, properly maintained and in good nick, this is a very tidy Boxster. The current lengthy, clean MOT underlines the point.

The vendor says:

“Well maintained, starts and runs perfectly, standard model as far as I'm aware, no known faults. Drives amazing, and handles like a dream.”
