The Appeal

The Boxster is what truly brought Stuttgart to the masses, and the 986 continues to be one of the bestselling cars in the marque's history, a quarter of a century later. The excellent mid-engined dynamics, impressive performance and sheer quality have all become the stuff of legend.

This 2001 example comes in a handsome blue livery and benefits from a well-documented service history recorded across Official Porsche Centres and independent specialists. Purchased by the seller's late husband in the summer of 2025 as his dream car, the car holds some happy memories but is now ready and waiting for its next chapter.
