Description
A wonderfully original and highly specified Porsche Boxster 986 S, presented in Black Metallic over a striking Red Leather interior. Most notably, this example has had just one owner from new, an increasingly rare proposition for an early Boxster.
The specification is excellent, including red leather electric Sports seats, Extended Leather Package, Xenon headlights with headlamp wash, air conditioning, central locking and the sought-after Harman sound system with its manual amplifier, identified by the additional controls beneath the original Porsche head unit.
The car sits on BBS split-rim alloy wheels, which have just been professionally refurbished with their distinctive diamond-cut lips. The wheels are now complemented by brand-new Pirelli P Zero tyres to the front, with Pirelli P Zeros at the rear carrying 2021 date codes and retaining plenty of tread.
Underneath, the car has benefited from conscientious specialist maintenance, with work carried out by respected Porsche specialists including Charles Ivey and JZM. The history file is particularly strong, with 17 service stamps in the original service book.
Recent preparation includes a fresh full service including spark plugs, front-wheel tracking and both rear tuning forks, while the car is MOT tested until August 2027 with no advisories.
The original roof has been replaced with the later-style glass rear window, providing improved usability while retaining the character of the 986. The original Porsche head unit remains fitted, further underlining how wonderfully unmolested this example is.
Supplied with three keys, this is a very genuine and unusually well-documented early Boxster S. The combination of one-owner provenance, superb specification, extensive Porsche specialist history and originality makes this a particularly compelling example of Porsche’s first-generation Boxster.
