Seller's description
The Porsche Boxster, introduced in 1996, marked an important chapter in Porsche’s history, bringing the marque’s traditional mid-engined sports car layout to a modern roadster designed to deliver an engaging driving experience with everyday usability. By 2002, the Boxster S had established itself as a particularly appealing model, combining a larger 3.2-litre flat-six engine with the unmistakable styling and balance for which Porsche is renowned. Presented in Meridian Metallic Silver with a black hood and black interior, this 2002 Porsche Boxster S is an exceptionally low-mileage example, having covered just over 20,000 miles from new. With its desirable specification, comprehensive history and original purchase documentation, this is a particularly interesting car for anyone seeking a well-preserved modern classic from Stuttgart. First registered in 2002, this Boxster S is powered by the 3,200cc flat-six engine, paired with the Tiptronic S automatic transmission, offering a rewarding blend of performance and relaxed open-top motoring. The car was originally ordered by Mrs Venables, who specified a number of desirable factory options totalling over £7,000, a considerable investment at the time. The original order invoice remains with the car, providing a wonderful insight into its specification from new. The specification includes Meridian Metallic Silver paintwork, a Meridian Metallic and black hood, full leather Graphite Grey sports seats, Litronic headlights with headlight cleaning system, Porsche crest-embossed headrests and 18-inch Sport Design alloy wheels with coloured wheel centres. The Tiptronic S transmission completes a specification that makes this Boxster S particularly well equipped. The mileage is one of the car's most notable features, with recorded readings of 14,031 miles in 2022, 16,569 miles in March 2024 and 18,444 miles in March 2025. The current mileage stands at just over 20,000 miles, supported by a substantial collection of MOT history and associated documentation. The ownership history is equally well documented. Mrs Venables acquired the Porsche new in 2002 and retained it until 2020, before Mr Venables took ownership until 2021. Mr Forsyth followed in 2021, keeping the car until 2022, after which it passed to Mr France. In 2025, the Porsche returned to Mr Forsyth, who remains the current owner. Although the car has had five registered keepers, one owner has enjoyed it on two separate occasions, providing an interesting continuity to its history. Accompanying the car is the original Porsche leather booklet holder, containing the driver's manual and maintenance record, which is stamped up to 2025 and includes the original first owner's details. The history file also contains the original factory order invoice, V5 documentation and a wealth of MOT records, together with evidence of regular servicing, maintenance and professional deep cleaning and detailing. A hardback book covering the Porsche Boxster range and the original stereo owner's manual are also included. Maintenance has continued in recent years, with work carried out by Porsche Perth Limited in 2025, including the replacement of the front brake discs and pads, a sensor and the radio front panel, alongside various other items. More recently, the headlight washers have been replaced, and the car benefits from an MOT valid until March 2027. Combining its exceptionally low mileage, attractive factory specification, automatic transmission and excellent documentary history, this Boxster S represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a carefully maintained Porsche sports car from the early 2000s. The original purchase paperwork and long-term mileage records add genuine substance to its provenance, while the combination of silver paintwork, black hood and distinctive Sport Design wheels gives it a timeless, understated appearance.
