The Appeal
The Boxster is often credited as being instrumental in the Stuttgart marque's survival. It's the best possible introduction to Porsche ownership - so getting the sporty variant can only be an improvement on an already winning formula. More power under the bonnet, while maintaining that spot-on mid-engine balance.
This particular 2001 example stands out for its ownership history, having had just one previous registered keeper who maintained it for 22 years before the current owner acquired it in December 2023. It's been treated to significant recent mechanical work that's kept it in fine working order.
The black paintwork has been professionally corrected and protected with a 5-year ceramic coating, while the grey cabin is in fine order. It's now ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
