Description
This is a 1999 2. 5L manual, an honest car that I've always run on premium fuel.
Price: £4, 500
Mileage: 104, 378 miles
Owners: 5 former keepers (I’ve owned the car twice).
Private Plate: Included, desirable 986 model number plate.
The Mechanics:
Major Service: Nov 2022 (101, 992 miles)
Minor Service: Aug 2025 (104, 109 miles)
New Front Springs: Aug 2025
New Battery: March 2026
New Roof: New black fabric roof fitted Jan 2024 with the glass rear window conversion.
ULEZ: Fully London exempt.
Originality: Pretty much everything is stock, including the exhaust.
The Interior:
Ordered from the factory with the Console Delete (GT3 style). It makes a massive difference to the cabin. Way more legroom and a much cleaner, classic look. The black leather is in good condition, including the bolsters (no rips). It has an aftermarket stereo fitted with bluetooth.
The Bodywork:
The bodywork is where the car is let down slightly, although no rust! It’s straight with no dents and there are some scratches. There is also some lacquer peel in a few locations (50p size) and quite a few light scratches. I honestly believe most of the scratches could be buffed out with a proper detail. The headlights are also a bit cloudy and would benefit from a polish to bring them back to clear. Comes with a car cover.
Wheels and tyres are in good condition.
Technical Note:
Being a ’99, it has the dual-row IMS bearing engine, which is generally better regarded for longevity than the later units
The car was original spec'd in Germany for a UK resident, so was registered overseas but has spent all of it's time in the UK.
I'm happy to chat about the car and would welcome any inspection. It’s a solid, reliable Boxster that just needs a bit of cosmetic TLC to match the mechanics. Drop me a message if you're interested.
