Description
Offered for sale is this fantastic 2001 986 Porsche Boxster S 3. 2 manual finished in ultra rare Violet Metallic over black leather with just 71k miles recorded on the clock.
A genuinely standout example of the ever-appreciated 986 Boxster S, presented in what must surely be one of the most attractive and unusual factory colours offered during the period. Violet Metallic remains an exceptionally rare sight today and suits the Boxster’s shape wonderfully well, particularly when paired with the factory purple centre console trim and Carrera Twist alloys.
Originally supplied by Lancaster Porsche Bow, East London in 2001 and accompanied by book packs, manuals and a supporting history file. Just four previous keepers from new with the most recent custodian having owned the car for over 12 years. During this period the car was religiously garage stored and only taken out when dry.
Powered by the superb 3. 2 litre flat-six engine producing 252bhp and paired with the all-important 6-speed manual gearbox. Prior to sale the car has benefited from a full engine service including spark plugs, ensuring it drives exactly as a Boxster S should.
Specification is particularly pleasing and includes sports exhaust, upgraded Kenwood head unit, leather door cards, Porsche techno gear knob and techno handbrake making for a focussed, driver orientated feel.
The car sits on a set of Continental front tyres and Falken rears.

The soft top convertible roof operates as you would expect and presents in great condition. Even rear plastic window is in fantastic order.
A tremendously classy, well-kept and unusually specified example of the increasingly sought-after 986 Boxster S. Distinctive, usable and full of character - exactly the sort of car we love to find.
