Welcome to the sale of this beautiful, low-mileage Porsche Boxster 986. All the major work has already been carried out, meaning the new owner can enjoy the car without worrying about immediate bills or unexpected expenses. Realistically, you should be able to enjoy it for at least the next year without needing anything beyond its next scheduled service and MOT. This is not a car that's simply been cleaned up and sold. When I bought it, it had been stored away and effectively forgotten. Underneath it all was a very good Boxster, but it needed considerable time, money and attention to bring it back to today's condition. I've spent £4,000+ on parts and mechanical work, receipts included. Result: a 986 that's ready to be enjoyed, not one with a list of jobs waiting. The 986 was Porsche's first-generation Boxster and introduced the mid-engined layout that defines the range. Light, balanced and genuinely rewarding to drive, with unmistakable flat-six character. ENGINE: fully serviced full major service, oil and filters, spark plugs, belts, water pump, thermostat, AOS, new starter motor. Runs extremely smoothly, no smoke, plenty of power. GEARBOX: manual, smooth, precise, positive changes. BRAKES/SUSPENSION/COOLING: brake lines replaced, upgraded discs and pads, new tyres, microswitches and relays replaced, drain pipes checked/replaced, suspension serviced with new bushes and top mounts, new radiators and brackets, plus numerous other items. Brakes extremely well, tight and confident on the road. ELECTRIC ROOF: previous owner had converted it to manual; I've restored the full electric system with genuine Porsche parts roof gears, push rods, relays, microswitches (one relay alone £400+). Fully functioning electric roof. BODYWORK: new windscreen fitted, genuine second-hand Boxster bumpers front and rear in a great colour match, rear window crystal clear with no cracks. INTERIOR: leather seats in very good condition, everything working, classic low-slung Porsche character. Includes extensive receipts and genuine Porsche parts. Serious buyers welcome to view and test drive. Drop the roof, find a good road, and enjoy it no such thing as a cheap Porsche, but this one's already had the hard work done.
