The Appeal
Introduced in 1996, the Boxster is a mid-engined 2-seater roadster developed by Porsche alongside the Cayman. The name “Boxster” is of course a play on words, combining elements of the car’s signature boxer engine, and roadster body style. Known for its characterful driving experience, the Boxster benefits from fantastic weight distribution and a low centre of gravity, as a result of its mid-engine configuration.
Widely regarded as one of the most enjoyable roadsters produced, this Boxster S benefits from numerous upgrades over the standard model, such as greater power and more effective brakes. Today, these cars are finally being recognized for the fantastic value they provide, and tidy examples like this one are selling quickly.
The History and Paperwork
- Up-to-date servicing
- Well maintained
- V5C document present
- Previous invoices for labour
- Original handbooks
This Boxster S began life in 2004 and has passed through 5 former keepers over the course of its time on the road. As the MOT history reflects, the vehicle has been rather well maintained over the years, requiring only consumables and minor repairs. Now, the vehicle is ready to go to a new home, where it will no doubt continue to perform brilliantly for the lucky new owner.
The car comes with a selection of paperwork, which includes previous MOT certificates and the V5C document. The paperwork also includes the original handbooks and service booklet, which is stamped up to near the current mileage. Also included are invoices for previous parts and labour, covering key items such as new trailing arms in 2021.

The Interior
- Heated leather seats
- Excellent condition
- Electric folding soft-top
- Bose sound system
Being a Porsche, the car does of course conform to the brand’s attention to detail and mission to provide a luxurious experience. It does so by surrounding the driver with excellent build quality, comfortable heated leather seats and a fantastic Bose sound system. The Boxster S really is the perfect balance of interior comfort, and high-value performance.
The interior of this particular Boxster S is in excellent condition, showing only minor signs of use towards the driver’s seat bolster and slight discolouring on the passenger’s seat. Both door cards, the dashboard and interior carpeting are also in great condition, and would easily appear like new with a small amount of TLC.
Not only are all controls, dials and instruments also in excellent working order, but all relevant contact surfaces show minimal signs of use. The leather 3 spoke steering wheel and gearknob follow suit and look great for the vehicle’s age and mileage.
It should come as no surprise that one of this car’s key features is of course the folding soft-top, which is in excellent condition and operates without a hitch. With the summer just around the corner now, this is the perfect feature to enjoy the glorious sunshine with.
The Exterior
- Stunning silver paintwork
- Presented beautifully
- 5 spoke alloy wheels
- Eye-catching red brake calipers
This generation of Boxster seems to have aged like fine wine and looks excellent on modern roads. This particular example has been well cared for and wears its silver paint with pride.
The paintwork itself is in great condition, showing only a few exceptionally minor marks towards the front end, only noticeable upon close inspection. All lights, trim pieces, glass, and badging closely follow suit.
The car sits on a well-presented set of 5 spoke alloys, which show no major signs of wear, and allow the Boxster S’s beefy brakes to shine through. All 4 wheels are currently wrapped in a set of winter tyres, leaving the new owner to decide on their preferred rubber for the Summer roads.
For a car that is just shy of being 20 years old, this Porsche certainly puts other examples to shame and will have you looking back at it each time you park it.
The Mechanics
- 3.2L Boxer engine
- Manual 6-speed gearbox
- Drives perfectly
- Well maintained
- Recently serviced at 123,108 miles
Buyers will be happy to hear that this Boxster S performs exactly as Porsche intended, with no known electrical or mechanical issues to report. The 3.2L flat-six engine happily revs through each and every gear, begging to be driven in a spirited manner.
The combination of a rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel-drive configuration has always been a highly regarded setup, resulting in some of the greatest sports cars ever produced. As a result, the Boxster boasts impressive weight distribution and offers a truly rewarding handling experience through the bends.
As the recent paperwork reflects, the car has been treated to a host of new parts and maintenance, ensuring peace of mind for the lucky new owner. If you’re looking for a summer toy that is mechanically sound and ready to enjoy, this is your car.
Summary
This first-generation Boxster S is a fantastic example of Porsche’s fast-appreciating roadster. Equipped with the larger 3.2L flat-six engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, this Boxster lives up to its reputation as one of the most enjoyable cars to drive for the money.
In addition to performing like a champ, this particular example is also in superb condition both inside and out, putting many similarly aged vehicles to shame.
This brilliant Porsche Boxster S is your ticket to thrilling top-down motoring this summer, at a bargain of a price.

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.
