The Appeal

The third generation of Porsche’s mid-engined Boxster retained the revvy, analogue character of previous generations but added a stiffer, more agile chassis and more luxurious trim. Reviewers have waxed lyrical about it ever since.

This dark blue 2.7L car has the sort of specification that will likely appeal to enthusiast drivers, including 6spd manual box and the Sport Chrono Package. It is a low mileage car and the current French keeper is only its third. He tells us that he acquired the car in 2024 from Germany and has now registered it in France. The service book shows a run of six stamps by main dealers and specialists up to April 2025 at 68,800 km.

The current Controle Technique runs to April but will be renewed before sale, lasting for two years.

The vendor says:

“It has full Porsche service history. I had it serviced by Porsche in Annecy in May 2025, there are no known faults. I propose to get the control technique done in France (lasts 2 years) prior to a sale.

“It drives beautifully, I love the car and I am only selling it as I no longer have a spare garage to keep it in due to a house move.”
