  First generation Boxster 986
First registered and pre delivery inspected by JCT600 in Newcastle on the 13th Oct 1998. This is a matching numbers car with all original factory panels. The original keeper has had an enviable great time with the options catalogue when it came to speccing this Boxster, from the exquisite and brave choice of colour combo in Pastel yellow and Nephrite green cabin, the M030 lowered and stiffened sport suspension, auto braking differential, hardback sports seats, the extended leather cabin (leather dash and door panels), the Cup 3 twits rims and colour coded roll bar, this is a car specced for a driver. There are plenty silver with black or blue around but if you like this sort of thing (as we most certainly do), there is no substitute for a flamboyant classic Porsche!

Condition
Very tidy body with clean straight panels and good paint finish. It had a full respray in 2016 due to UV patina in the paint, it hasn't done 5000 miles since so it retains a fresh appearance.

The cabin is superb, the colour is fantastic and a rarity. The leather dash and doors are unmarked as are the carpets, the leather chairs are in good order with little mileage related wear, everything is in working order, nothing is missing or broken.

Electric roof is in perfect working order with clean black canvas which has a fresh appearance and a crystal clear vinyl rear window.

Excellent driving vehicle, the stainless exhaust makes it sound the way it always should have, it's reasonably loud and enhances the boxer engine growl by a factor of 10. It handles noticeably better than the cars without the expensive Sport chassis option and makes for a sportier driving experience.

Wheels & tyres
Factory option wheels are in great order, Carerra Cup 3 twists are 17" with 7" 205/50 up front and 8.5" 255/40. Each one has a matching tyre with deep tread. The wheels have a good finish, they have minor marks but none that would a refurb.

Summary
Becoming highly collectible, the first generation Boxster are a great choice to buy now and keep long term. These car are appreciating right now and will later prove to be a shrewd investment today. The early 2.5 cars did not suffer from IMS issues and are mostly bombproof. Any classic Porsche with M030 should be bought right away in my opinion and if you can find a funky colour combo too, it's a no brainer!
