Overview

The 981-generation Boxster S is a mid-engined roadster built around a 3.4-litre flat-six that sits just behind your shoulders. It revs with real appetite and steers with a clarity we've always loved, the sort that makes a good road feel like an event. The S is the punchier pick of the range, and it carries that extra performance with easy, unflustered composure.

This example is finished in grey metallic and wears a coordinated sporting look, its red brake detailing and cabin accents clearly chosen to work together. The seven-speed PDK dual-clutch is a real highlight, shifting fast and slickly, staying refined and effortless when you want to relax and crisp when you're pressing on. That breadth makes it genuinely easy to live with, happy on a gentle town run and just as content on a brisk cross-country blast.

There's real substance behind the presentation too, with a comprehensive documented service history that backs up both the mileage and the care it's clearly had. Add a fresh MOT running to June 2027 and you've got a Boxster S in genuinely strong, honest condition, ready to be used and enjoyed straight away.
