Description
High specification Porsche Boxster S 3.2 manual with interesting history and only 59,457 miles.
HISTORY
Registered as a new demonstrator on 17th May 2000 by Rivervale Porsche in Brighton, this Boxster S has covered only 59,457 miles from new.
The Boxster was enjoyed in Haywards Heath and London before being owned by Porsche expert historian, Peter Morgan in Marlborough. Peter featured the car in his Porsche Boxster Ultimate Buyers Guide DVD.
I purchased the car from Peter Morgan on 1st March 2007 and have enjoyed it for the past 13 years.
During my ownership, the Boxster has been a regular attendee at Porsche Club GB events and represented the Club at the Classic Motor Show on the Club stand at the NEC. Once again at the request of Porsche Club GB, the Boxster was featured in a multi page article in Practical Classics magazine and was the subject of a full day professional studio photo shoot.
The A986 POR cherished registration plate was purchased by me from the founder of 911 & Porsche World magazine. This plate is the ultimate for this model, looks great on the car and is included in the sale.
SERVICE HISTORY
Despite the low mileage the original service book displays twelve stamped entries with the first five visits to Official Porsche Centres and the following seven by Porsche marque specialists such as Hartech, 9 Apart, etc.
The black Porsche leather wallet contains all handbooks, guides and dealership point of sale material as well as a security code card for the stereo. Two Porsche remote keys are present along with a basic key.
The MOT history and certificates are complete for the past seventeen years and paint a picture of problem free ownership with the certificates regularly showing no advisories or faults.
The last service and MOT was carried out on 19th August 2020 at 59,457 miles when the MOT again reported no advisories or faults.

ENGINE & GEARBOX
The 3,179cc robust flat six Porsche Boxer Engine develops 248hp to allow 0-62mph in just 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 161mph! The engine starts without issues, runs super smooth and revs freely. The raw sound delivered from the sports exhaust system sounds great with the roof down. The 6-speed manual transmission feels positive and direct just as Porsche intended.
EXTERIOR
Finished in factory optional Porsche Speed Yellow, (Code L12H), the paintwork is representative of a carefully cared-for 59,000 mile example. Having been subjected to a full professional detail a few years ago, paintwork presents beautifully. A very clean and untouched underside will delight originality seekers searching for an unspoilt example. The UV-resistant black hood was recoloured and protected in 2019 and is in great condition The rear screen is clear and flexible with very few marks. The colour combination between the hood and the body looks stunning. All trim sections and badges are undamaged and the factory fitted sports exhaust really enhances the overall look.
INTERIOR
The black full leather upholstery, doors, steering wheel and dashboard are in beautifully clean condition with virtually no wear visible. The carpets are spotless having been protected from new by tailored Porsche over mats, and the door sill covers are in great condition without the usual scuffs and scratches. The controls and switches are all in perfect condition and everything functions as it should.
Spotless luggage areas reflect the minimal use and the factory build sticker to the bonnet underside and Mobil 1 sticker in the rear compartment further emphasise the cars originality.
The factory space saver spare wheel and tool kit are present and complete.
BRAKES, WHEELS & TYRES
The optional factory original 18in Sport Design split rim alloy wheels with Porsche centre crests are in good condition and fitted with the factory recommended Continental Sport Contact N1 tyres all round. 225/50 ZR18 and 245/45 ZR18 front and rear respectively. The tyres show plenty of tread and are in good condition. The alloy wheels show some minor defects on the polished outer rim but the inner painted sections are perfect.
