The Standout
Successful as the first Porsche Boxster (986) was, it took Stuttgart a few years to fully exploit its potential and meet customer expectations for performance. With the arrival of the Boxster S, Porsche equipped its roadster with a 3.2-litre flat-six developing 250 bhp, delivering performance capable of rivalling its famous rear-engined sister, the 911.
Today, these first-generation Boxster S models are attracting growing interest. Few cars from that era offer such a balance between performance, driving pleasure and ease of use. This 2002 example, remaining very close to its original specification, represents an excellent opportunity to discover all the charm of this model.
Presented in an elegant dark blue with black leather interior, this Boxster is equipped with the highly sought-after six-speed manual gearbox. The seller indicates it has always been serviced at a Porsche dealership and by marque specialists.
Acquired by its current owner in 2019, the car reportedly runs perfectly and shows no issues related to intermediate shaft bearing (IMS) failure, according to the seller. It has recently benefited from clutch replacement, catalytic converters and rear silencer in 2025, as well as an engine oil change. Its MOT is valid until February 2028.
