The Appeal

The Porsche Boxster, introduced in 1996, quickly became a favourite among driving enthusiasts. Offering a more budget-friendly avenue into pure Stuttgart magic, and their first roadster since 1969's 914, it was a car practically pre-ordained for success, with the perfect balance of affordability, performance and comfort. It's this vehicle that's often credited with saving the company during its rough period in the 90s.

This particular Boxster has a history of long-term ownership, with plenty of paperwork backing up all maintenance carried out by Porsche main agents. The MOT is valid until May 2025, the car's still running well, and only some cosmetic work is necessary to bring it up to snuff. What a prospect!
