The Background
The Boxster was introduced in 1996 as a mid engined sports car using Porches new water cooled engine marking a change from the older air cooled designs used up to that point. The launch was a success with the car gaining praise for its poise and handling.
In 1999 Porsche released the S version with a larger, more powerful 3.2L flat six engine that has allowed these fantastic cars to become widely regarded as being some of the most fun for the money cars available.
The small size and mid engine placement means that the Boxster handles fantastically and the larger 3.3L engine provides plenty of power to match.

The History
The current owner bought the car in 2019 but unfortunately due to ill health he can no longer enjoy the car the way he previously could and has decided to sell it on to someone who can make the most of it.
The Paperwork
There is extensive Porsche service history as indicated by the stamps in the service book and receipts for a recent full service alongside the new MOT.
The Interior
The interior is in good condition overall for the age and mileage. The low slung leather bucket seats are surprisingly comfortable for longer journeys but provide that sporty feel that is more than matched by the performance of this little roadster. The dash and carpets are all in good condition and there is an overall feeling of quality in the interior that would be expected from a Porsche.
The combination of quality, sporty design and luxury make the inside of a Boxster a pleasant place to be and it’s a car we’d have no issues doing longer touring trips in. For such a diminutive two seater the Boxster feels surprisingly roomy on the inside and this is matched again by generous cargo space for a car of this size.

The Exterior
The exterior is in good condition for the age and mileage and like most Porches it looks fantastic and will make an impression wherever it goes. Finished in Arctic Silver metallic and with the black soft top with red brake calipers the car is both refined and sporty, a classic Porsche design.
There are a few marks as to be expected with a car of this age, such as a couple of small chips to the wheels (as pictured) and to the underside of the front bumper courtesy of speed bumps, but these do not detract from the overall look of the car, which is very good.
The hood is in very good condition and the car looks great with it either up or down.

The Mechanics
The car starts well from cold and sounds fantastic, the flat six has a beautiful smooth rumble that only gets better under acceleration. The car has been well looked after and this is reflected in the mechanics, there are no faults or unusual sounds and the car comes recently serviced, MOT’d and with a set of recent tyres.
If it wasn't for the health issues the current owner would not be looking to sell this fantastic car, it has been very well looked after and runs beautifully making it a fantastic example of this generation Boxster S.
For those looking for some reliability to go with their driving fun, this is the one we’d choose.

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.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
