2001 986 PORSCHE BOXSTER 2.7 MANUAL 225 BHP
Seal Grey /Metropole Leather & Suede Seats
Fully Comprehensive Service History
Excellent Condition

This is a lovely driving example with lots of consistent spending. The most
recent mature owners’ tenure has lasted thirteen years and he garaged it using
it for road trips and weekend outings. The service record bears 9 stamps
and is bolstered by an impressive level of physical invoices amounting
to around £5000 in 10 years, (a summary of this is below).

The Seal Grey metallic paint is a true Porsche modern classic and one that
compliments the lines of the Boxster so well.

Condition
The majority of the earlier Boxsters cars are starting to look quite rough round the
edges and for those of you who may have travelled to view the mint example! that
subsequently and predictably turns out to be not quite as described - this could
well be the car for you. A completely genuine car head to foot as it left the
factory. Maintained extremely well and no expense has been spared. The hood is
intact and is fully operational and is watertight as tested. The car scores very
highly and should not disappoint, to be negative there is a small half inch gash
to the rear screen that has been taped and again is watertight. Drives A1.
The interior is in excellent shape.

Alloys/Tyres

Genuine Porsche lightweight 17-inch Sport design alloy with black centre caps.
Matching Continental Sport tyres all round that are thick with tread.

On The Road
Mechanically superb and fully tried and tested, with a smooth quiet engine, no areas
of concern. The 2.7 being one of the most vocal units in any car, beyond 3000 rpm it
is a superb howl. Handling is as exemplary as expected from a Porsche that boasts near
perfect weight distribution. The depth of engineering is instantly apparent not to
mention enormously confidence inspiring. The hood drops electrically in a matter of
moments.

convertible that has sensible running costs and renound reliability.

curve now with lots of reassuring bills behind it.
