The Appeal

As performance cars get heavier and many gain EV powertrains, there’s something very refreshing about a naturally aspirated convertible sports car with a proper manual gearbox. This 2007 Sport Edition Boxster is just that. Quite rightly, the Boxster has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in recent years and this is one of the nicest examples we’ve seen.

Offered by a seasoned Porsche enthusiast and Porsche Club GB member for whom this is their third Boxster, it’s in superb condition for its age and comes with a fresh advisory-free MOT. Highly specified with the desirable Sports Aero Kit and a raft of other desirable factory features, this Boxster is mightily tempting. Porsche modelled this Sport Edition model on the Carrera GT mid-engined hypercar, examples of which now sell for well into seven figures.

This Boxster comes with a vast collection of paperwork and the vendor has compiled a detailed account of the specification and service history which we’ve included below.
