The Appeal
The Boxster was Porsche’s first road vehicle to be designed specifically to be a roadster since the 550 Spyder. This particular model was actually one of the cars built in Finland, identified via the letter “U” as the 11th character of the VIN number. This is a particularly sought after specification being Speed yellow from the factory and featuring a 6 speed manual gearbox and the largest engine available, the 3.2L. Included are several factory options that further complete the high specification of this car making it stand out from most Boxsters available today.
• V5 Present • Lots of receipts for work carried out
The vendor has owned the vehicle for the past 7 years, and has clearly spared no expense in making sure this car is perfectly mechanically maintained. Previous owners have had some bodywork carried out in previous years.
Clearly this car has been well enjoyed, with 116287 miles on the clock, and due to its excellent maintenance the car has many more miles of driving left in it.
• Metropole Blue interior • Factory option painted roll hoops • Factory option painted centre console • Exterior colour matched door handle surrounds
The interior of this car is everything you would expect from a Porsche, a classy comfortable area to enjoy the driving experience. A few special details are the optional extra painted roll hoops and centre console, and has also had the door handle surround matched to the exterior Speed yellow as well.
The passenger side door handle surround paint has suffered some kind of reaction and is clearly blemished, but this would be easily rectified. The interior is very well looked after and clean, with the leather seats being in great condition, despite being a little bit saggy from the 116287 miles of use. All the plastics and upholstery is in excellent condition, even in the front cargo area. Overall a very nice interior, very well kept with only a few signs of use and some wear and tear to be expected from a car of this mileage.
• Striking Speed yellow paint • New soft top with heated glass window • Hard top with heated glass window included
The exterior is finished in a striking bright Speed Yellow from the factory, setting this apart from the crowd as not many Boxsters were finished in Speed Yellow.
The wheels are all in excellent condition and have been fully refurbished in the last year and are shod with matching Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres.
At some point before the vendor’s ownership the driver’s side of the car has been repainted, and this is visible with the paint being newer than the other side of the car. Also a bad repair has been carried out to the right rear arch which could do with attention. This would be a very straightforward job for a good bodyshop and would really take this car to the next level. The soft top is brand new and also included is a hard top.
• Meticulously maintained • Lots of maintenance work done recently • Stainless Steel Sports exhaust fitted
The vendor has spared no expense in making sure this car is in an amazing state mechanically, with the car having had fresh brakes all round, a clutch, 4 new springs, new radiator, new water pump, and a coolant flush and replacement, all in the past 2 years. As such the car is wanting for nothing and is ready for many miles of motoring pleasure!
A small quirk of the car is that the alarm can sometimes go off when starting the car, this does not affect the operation of the car and it locks/ unlocks/starts without any issues from the alarm.
A fairly rare specification Boxster, in excellent mechanical shape and wanting only a bit of TLC to be a real stunner! A chance to get a true 6 speed manual gearbox version with the 3.2 engine and in stunning yellow paint.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
