The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• Production of this car was completed in March 2003
• However, it wasn’t registered until April 2004
• Only having 3 owners since new this Boxster has been cared for well
• The current owner acquired the car in 2008 and has lavished it with care and attention 
• Private registration will be retained by the current owner
• It has only been used on special occasions, hence the low mileage
• When not in use it has been stored in a garage under a cover on trickle charge
• They have decided it is now time to let someone else enjoy this fetching modern classic
• This 986 left the factory with a fetching combination of Speed Yellow, black top, and black leather interior

• As you can see, practically all the options were ticked 
• All of the Porsche option numbers can be found on the original sticker under the front boot lid 
• Remarkably for a car that has only covered 24,000 miles, it still has a few Porsche Centre service stamps
• The last service was carried out by Pro Alfa in 2016 at 23,008 miles 
• At this time the front pants and discs were changed 
• There are a few other assorted invoices in the cars folder

The Interior

• Opening the door of this Boxster S reveals an immaculate interior 
• Finished in a combination of leather, aluminium, and exterior colour trim it is eye-catching 
• This car was optioned with Porsche Sports Seats with the Porsche logo embossed into the headrest
• These black leather seats are in great condition 
• Due to the low mileage, the leather has not experienced the usual wear 
• This has left both of the seats in amazing condition
• The three spoke leather and aluminium steering wheel is in great condition as well
• Other optional extras include but are not limited to, the exterior colour centre console, aluminium gear stick and BOSE speakers 
• It was also fitted with air-conditioning but as the car was last re-gassed in 2018 it requires another re-gassing 
• However, if you get warm on the way home then you can always retract the electric roof 
• Operating with the press of a button the roof elegantly raises and lowers itself 
• With the roof down the cabin is filled with natural light 
• It almost changes the character of this sports car into a comfortable cruiser
• An interesting feature of the Boxster is its boot arrangement 
• As it's mid-engined you still get the traditional Porsche front boot, but also an extra space in the rear
• This additional boot makes for a practical sports car that could be used for extended stays away
• Overall, the interior of this Porsche is in amazing condition and just waiting for you to hop in

The Exterior 

• Externally this Boxster S is a bit of a head turner
• Finished in Speed Yellow with 18” Carrera alloys
• These 18” Carrera alloys are in amazing condition 
• They are also wrapped with a matching set of Pirelli tyres 
• It also benefits from the Cup Aero Kit which gives it a very sporty look 
• This kit got you different front and rear bumpers, along with the side sills and a big rear wing
• The exterior paint is virtually unmarked 
• It still retains a deep yellow colour 
• The yellow is broken up with the black fabric roof and Boxster S decals 
• Its fabric top is in great condition with no rips, pulls, or any damage at all
• When the roof is retracted it is stored neatly behind the two seats 
• With no roof, it is easy to spot a couple of other features 
• These are the wind deflector in between the seats and the rollover bars finished in Speed Yellow
• This car looks good with the roof up or down 
• Its striking yellow paint will turn heads wherever you go in it 
• Overall, the exterior of this 986 Boxster S is in amazing condition

The Mechanics 

• Powered by a 3.2L flat-six 
• It is fitted with the more engaging six-speed manual gearbox
• This engine and gearbox combination make for a fast and fun sports car 
• The service book is well stamped with Porsche services 
• Its most recent service was completed 1,000 miles ago 
• New front discs and pads were fitted at this time as well
• The car has just been fitted with a new battery
• The car did start for us and idled beautifully 
• It was also successfully manoeuvred around the vendor’s drive without any problems 
• The vendor also mentioned an issue with a sticky reverse light switch 
• This however does not affect the driving pleasure that this car can offer
