These early Boxsters are fast becoming modern classics — and values are already on the rise. This example stands out thanks to its strong history and mechanical upkeep.
Price: £5250You’re going to love this car because it delivers that classic Porsche experience — a naturally aspirated flat-six engine right behind you, rear-wheel drive, and a manual gearbox that makes every drive feel special. It’s a proper sports car that’s still usable and reliable, with the kind of analogue driving feel that newer cars just don’t offer anymore.
I bought this Boxster because I wanted something with real character and pedigree, but also something I could genuinely enjoy on B-roads, a Sunday morning blast, or even my drive to work and back — and it’s done that every single time. The 2. 7 engine is the sweet spot in the range: more responsive and revvy than the base 2. 5, but without the added complexity of the 3. 2 S. It’s also lighter, which keeps the handling beautifully balanced.
What really makes this one stand out is the condition and the history — it’s rare to find a 986 that’s been serviced exclusively by Porsche main dealers, and even rarer with something like the water pump already done by a specialist. It’s been clearly looked after, not just used and forgotten.
My favourite thing about the car? The sound. There’s something addictive about how that flat-six builds through the revs — especially with the roof down. It’s not artificially loud or trying too hard — it just sounds pure, mechanical, and right. Add to that the steering feel and the way it handles corners, and it honestly makes you feel like a better driver every time you get in.
It’s a proper, engaging sports car that’s still affordable and reliable — and it’s only getting more desirable as time goes on.
