2010 PORSCHE BOXSTER

At Duke of London, we have a particular soft spot for the "Goldilocks" era of Porsche—that brief, glorious window where analogue soul met modern capability. This 987 Spyder, now showing 36, 150 miles, is the definitive embodiment of that philosophy. It is a car we know and love, returning to the showroom looking every bit the sinister, lightweight masterpiece it was designed to be.

Cloaked in Gloss Black over those signature Silver Lightweight Alloys, this example was clearly configured by a true student of the brand. While the Spyder’s silhouette is legendary, it is the hardware underneath that makes this specific car a "unicorn." It is equipped with the purist’s trifecta: the tactile six-speed manual gearbox, the uncompromising factory Carbon Fibre Bucket Seats, and—the absolute crown jewel—PCCB Carbon Ceramic Brakes. Finding a UK Spyder with PCCBs is a hunt that usually ends in disappointment; finding one paired with buckets and a manual is a genuine "drop everything" moment.

With fewer than 250 UK-supplied cars in existence, the 987 Spyder is a rarer beast than many of its GT-badged siblings. It offers a level of mid-engined balance and steering transparency that arguably hasn’t been topped since. This isn't just a car for the Sunday morning blast; it is a blue-chip asset that the market is finally, and rightfully, beginning to obsess over.

The provenance is as sharp as the handling, with a fastidious service record that tracks its journey from the main dealer network to the hands of the UK's finest specialists:

Having been most recently seen to in December 2024, this Spyder wants for nothing and is not due its next scheduled visit to the workshop until December 2026.

In a world of increasingly numb driving experiences, this Spyder stands as a reminder of what happens when Porsche stops ticking boxes for the masses and starts building cars for us. It is, quite simply, as good as it gets.

As ever, we have a full digital file available on request, including additional images, walkaround videos, and service history scans. The car is available to view by appointment at our West London showroom.
