Description
2005 Porsche Boxster 2. 7 finished in metallic blue with grey interior and a 5-speed manual gearbox. A previous owner upgraded the car with the larger Boxster S red brakes front and rear, the Boxster S exhaust, an S badge and GT3 front bumper vent. While this is not an S model, the upgrades give it an improved appearance, stronger stopping and a fantastic exhaust note whilst retaining the lower running costs of the 2. 7. This is an honest, well-maintained example with extensive history and a significant amount of preventative maintenance completed. MOT due May 2027. I purchased the car last year as a small project and have carefully worked through many of the common age-related items to create a reliable and enjoyable car that is ready to be used and enjoyed. The car comes with a substantial history file covering its life up to 2023. The original handbook was unfortunately lost by a previous owner. The previous owner owned the car for approximately one year before I purchased it. The clutch and dual mass flywheel were replaced around 12, 000 miles ago. Many potential buyers ask about IMS bearings. Having checked the engine number and factory engine stamping, this engine appears to be one of the later 2005 engines fitted with the stronger dual-row IMS bearing, which is generally regarded as the more durable design. Since acquiring the car, the following work has been completed:- Air conditioning condensers replaced- Air conditioning re-gassed and operating correctly- Front coolant cross pipes, supply and return pipes replaced- Starter motor replaced- Air Oil Separator (AOS) replaced- Intake manifolds removed and cleaned- Secondary Air Pump replaced- Bosch spark plugs fitted- Beru coil packs fitted- Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyres all round- Oil and filter service completed- Smoke tested with no intake leaks found- Convertible roof serviced with damaged roof arms replaced- Interior switches replaced where required- Boot gas strut replaced- Door speakers replaced- Door water barriers replacedIn addition to the above, the front-end paintwork has received corrective detailing and presents exceptionally well. The combination of metallic blue paintwork and gunmetal wheels suits the car extremely well and it attracts attention wherever it goes. The engine is smooth, the gearbox feels precise, and the upgraded exhaust provides a fantastic soundtrack without becoming intrusive. The car has been dry stored during my ownership, shows no signs of water ingress when hand washing and everything operates as it should. As expected for a 21-year-old car, there are a few minor imperfections. A couple of the alloy wheels have light kerb marks and the handbrake lever shows some cosmetic wear. Neither detracts from the overall presentation. Overall this is a very well-sorted 987 that has benefited from considerable recent expenditure and attention. It has been a difficult decision to sell, but another opportunity has presented itself and I simply cannot keep them all. Supplied with one working key, history file and V5. No swaps. No silly offers. Sensible conversations welcomed and I am happy to discuss the maintenance history in detail. Test drives welcome by genuinely interested buyers with proof of insurance.
