Highlights
- Just 31,500 miles
- Desirable S specification with manual six-speed gearbox
- Equipped with rare Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
- Recently serviced in October
- Advisory-free MOT
The Appeal
The flagship variant in the 986 Boxster model range, the 'S' offered enhanced performance with its 3.2-litre flat-six engine producing 250 horsepower and a six-speed manual option versus the standard Boxster's 217 horsepower and five-speed.
This 2001 example stands out with just 31,500 miles under its belt. The Arctic Silver with red Leather interior combination looks absolutely marvellous, while the car has clearly been well-maintained throughout its life with a documented service history including recent comprehensive maintenance. It also features the relatively rare but highly desirable Porsche Stability Management system, making it both a collector's piece and a safer prospect for spirited driving.
