The Appeal

Launched in the late 1990s, the Porsche Boxster 986 marked an important milestone for the brand, offering a mid-engined convertible sports car. This 2.5-litre example, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, is presented in a colour combination characteristic of the early Boxsters: Metallic Arctic Grey on the outside and full Boxster Red leather inside.

According to the seller, this car has always been garaged and has undergone no modifications. The bodywork and paint are described as being in excellent condition, whilst the interior is said to show only light signs of wear. A stamped service book is available covering approximately the first fifteen years of its life. With 130,000 km on the clock, recent mechanical work and matching chassis numbers confirmed by the seller, this Boxster is offered with its hardtop and standard French registration.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also accept the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.

✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful winner of the auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only and it is customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just as you do, and that's why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and listed for sale on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not subject to a financial charge, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as a result of a total loss claim at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. The presence or absence of a label does not, however, guarantee the vehicle's status and it is always useful to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.

✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can assist you. For more details and to speak to the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
