Comprehensive service history with 18 service stamps, 12 of which are from the main dealer
Acquired by the current owner in February 2023, with less than 500 miles driven in the last year
Predominantly original and well-preserved vehicle, stored in a cart lodge with a cover
Upgraded wheels were refinished last year
The Appeal
By the 1990s, Porsche were in dire straits - and turned to Project 986 for a solution. The brief itself was simple; a small rear-engined sports car, true to Porsche while opening the brand up to a middle market. The result undeniably saved the company - the Boxster was such a hit that Volkswagen invested and, eventually, bought up the legendary German brand outright.
This particular example has been meticulously maintained, with a comprehensive service history and plenty of originality. Always kept undercover by the current owner - who purchased the car in February 2023 - the vehicle has only tracked 500 miles in the past year and is predominantly original.

The owner will be sad to see it go
