DESCRIPTION
The first-generation Porsche Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996 and the design was obviously heavily influenced by the 1993 Boxster Concept. Interestingly, the Boxster was Porsche's first road car to be originally designed as a roadster since the 550 Spyder in the fifties. The Boxster's name is derived from the word "boxer", referring to the vehicle's flat or "boxer" engine, and the word "roadster", referring to the vehicle's two-seat capacity and convertible top.
Early Boxsters used a 2.5-litre version of the flat-six with 201bhp, although this would rise to 2.7 litres and 228bhp by the end of the 986"s run. The 'S' model made its début in 2000 and was a different beast altogether using a 3.2-litre six, initially with 249bhp and ultimately boasting 260bhp before the arrival of the 987 Boxster in 2005.
The car presented here is a 2002 Porsche Boxster 'S' delivered new to Jersey. By 2002 the S model produced 250bhp, endowing it with real performance to back up the sublime handling. In common with many vehicles from the Channel Islands, this particular car has lead a very easy life, having covered just 9,401 miles from new and is accompanied by a maintenance schedule showing a dozen, supplying dealer, service stamps. The car is described by its fastidious vendor as being in immaculate condition, both inside and out and knowing something of his exacting standards when it comes to his cars, it really will be. This particular example has been rarely used by its two previous owners and is in beautiful original condition, including the underside. In a very desirable colour combination and with a very high original specification, including Porsche"s satellite navigation system, this is very fine sports-car.
The car has recently been imported into the UK by our vendor and has now been assigned a V5C document and registration number in time for the auction. A recent change in circumstances now means our vendor wishes to sell this great car, which surely must be one of the best 986-era Boxsters currently available. These competent and desirable little Porsches have been labelled “all the sports-car you might ever need” and with good reason.
