The Appeal
Fun, lightweight and a strong dynamic rival to its 911 big brother, the 986 era Porsche Boxster saw the marque move back towards its roots in creating simple sports cars with the sole aim of providing pure unadulterated driving pleasure.
Incredibly well balanced, the Boxster’s appreciation has grown to utterly unfathomable levels in recent years, with good examples of early manual cars, such as the example we see here being snapped up in an instant. For those who want the driving pleasure of a Boxster without the eye watering price tag that accompanies newer Porsches, the 986 era cars provide an excellent alternative.
BOX 332V, a top ranking Boxster S, combines a simply glorious 3.2 litre powerhouse with a silky smooth 6 speed manual transmission to provide an utterly brilliant driving experience. The Boxster is a car that can be both subtle and subdued when pottering around, yet at the request of the driver and their right foot, become a beautiful six cylinder performance symphony.
In great mechanical order, and paired with an extensive service history, this certainly isn’t one to miss.

The Interior
- Quality leather upholstery
- Sports seating
- Presents wonderfully
Understated, yet effortlessly classy, the interior of a Porsche Boxster is one which perfectly blends comfort, with quality craftsmanship and a sporty overtone. The Boxster ticks all the important boxes one looks for in a performance roadster. Leather upholstery, sports seats and a solid collection of mod cons and amenities, it's all here in the 986.
Two marvellous grey bucket style sports seats take precedence within the cabin, both presenting well with good quality leather still rich in its grey hue. There are however rather understandably some signs of wear to be seen here, most notably some blemishing around the driver's seat bolstering but nothing to cause worry or detract from the cabin’s quality.
The leather dashboard with its flowing lines has been well preserved and as such is still in great order, the same can be said for the iconic 3 spoke leather steering wheel and sculpted centre console piece. The central entertainment cluster and various switchgear that sits around it are all of a great standard and exhibit very little in the way of wear.
A piece of artwork in themselves, the door panels, upholstered in a mix of leather and plush carpeting are still factory fresh in appearance. The carpeting, in a lighter contrasting colour to the black and grey leather, is of a brilliant standard, this standard continues into the carpet in the cabin of the car, which coats the floors, footwells and the centre tunnel.
Courtesy of its mid engined layout, the Boxster boasts storage areas at both the front and rear. Both areas are of a great standard and boast clean quality carpeting.
The Exterior
- Classic Porsche styling
- Excellent silver paint
- Removable hard top
- Soft top roof
This Boxster S is certainly gorgeous from an aesthetic perspective. A subtle silver hue drapes its way over the flowing lines of the car and provides a glorious shine. The paintwork itself is in a great condition, bearing just a few minor marks and signs of ageing as to be expected of a now 22 year old car, but still presents excellently.
A party piece of this particular Boxster, is the removable hard top. Finished in a matching shade of Silver, the hard top can be lifted away with ease after the push and pull of just a few locking mechanisms. Revealing a separate soft top underneath which, having seen very limited usage throughout its lifetime, presents excellently, boasting high quality black fabric and a clean rear screen.
A factory rear wind deflector screen is present with the car and can be fitted behind the seating area to reduce the bluster within the cabin during open top driving.
5 spoke Porsche alloy wheels are the order of the day at ground level, with four excellent examples finding homes at each corner of the Boxster. All four are of a brilliant standard and present as such. A fifth spare wheel sits within a bespoke cover in the front storage area.
The Mechanics
- Impeccable 3.2 litre mid mounted engine
- New brakes
- Excellent mechanical order
The beating heart of this Boxster, situated right in the centre of the car comes in the form of an engine hailing from one of Porsche’s finest hours. Denoted by the all important S badging on the rear tailgate, the 3.2 litre 6 cylinder motor is a true mechanical marvel.
Punchy and raw but equally capable of being more subtle and refined, this excellent performance piece needs no introduction among Porsche enthusiasts and has already cemented itself as one of the all time great Porsche engines.
Thanks, largely due to its continual regular servicing, the motor fires into life with ease, with an excellent tone being produced courtesy the twin tipped rear mounted exhaust.
The car provides an excellent dynamic drive, with the mid mounted engine keeping the weight well balanced. The exquisite manual gearbox mated to the engine is in great order and cycles through the gears effortlessly and smoothly. The suspension provides a comfortable, perfectly balanced ride and the braking system, courtesy of new discs and pads, brings the car to a stop with ease.
Summary
Spoken of in hush whispers among enthusiasts and purists, the Porsche Boxster is often said to outrank its flagship big brother, the 911. Combining all the things that make the 911 great, in a more simple, raw and what is often seen as a better value package, the Boxster is a good safe bet for one looking to get themselves into Porsche ownership or just looking for a great usable modern classic roadster.
A top of the line Boxster S, this marvellous example checks all the important boxes, presenting in impeccable mechanical order, with an extensive service history, long MOT and a removable factory hard top. BOX 332V is certainly one of the finest Boxsters on the market today.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
