The Appeal

The Porsche Boxster hit the market as a perfect starting point for somebody getting into Stuttgart's legendary marque. With its mid-engined layout and perfect balance, it was a welcome, easy-to-hand sports car that was more than capable of stirring the soul, and quickly became one of the company's biggest sellers in history. For many, it's a must-have - one of those cars you've got to give a go.
This 2000 example has been in the hands of its current owner for the past 8 years, during which time it has been well maintained and kept true to spec. It's been treated to a new roof and a radio, but other than this, it's reportedly exactly as it would have been leaving the factory.
It's a true modern classic, and we think it's deserving of plenty of interest at auction.
