The 986-generation Boxster S is quietly becoming one of the most desirable modern sports cars on the market. Powered by the 3.2-litre flat-six: a naturally aspirated engine with a strong character that pulls cleanly and builds revs without hesitation, and sounds superb when the roof is open—it delivers the iconic Porsche driving experience at a far more attainable price than a contemporary 911.
Its mid-engine layout gives it a near-perfect balance, and the driving experience remains captivating and rewarding by today’s standards. Values have strengthened significantly: the generation that dreamed about these cars in their twenties can now buy one, and the best examples are gaining value accordingly.
This 2001 example is fitted with the highly sought-after six-speed manual gearbox and comes with its matching hardtop, allowing you to switch it from a roadster to an elegant coupe. The MOT is valid until May 2027.image.png1.35 MB
This sale is subject to Car & Classic’s general terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also accept the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, meaning that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s general terms and conditions.
✓ We require non-refundable fees to be paid if you are the successful bidder or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and general terms and conditions for the specific charges.
✓ This vehicle is sold “as is”, on a “take it or leave it, where it stands” basis and with no warranty. The photos and descriptions are for guidance only and it is standard practice 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 price or submission price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just as you do—so cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to confirm they do not show any insurance database markers for damage or theft, and that they are not subject to any financial charge, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of a total loss claim at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic, and we provide category write-off labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it’s always useful to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer.
✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may involve additional customs duties and import taxes. If you’d like, we can recommend a third-party shipping company that can help. For more details and to speak with the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
