2000 PORSCHE BOXSTER

“It’s not very often we get to buy an early 986 Boxster from the person that ordered it new, but in this case we were lucky enough to meet the chap who bought his car 23 years ago from Carrs Porsche of Exeter. And what a car it is – an early Stuttgart-built 3.2 S in one of our favourite colours Speed Yellow, with black leather, heated seats, automatic air conditioning and traction control (ASR and ABD, the forerunners to PSM).

Showing just 58,651 miles on the odometer, the vast majority of which were covered by Mr Clark in the first 6 years, after which the car was used sparingly for a few more years until eventually being placed into a classic car storage facility from 2017 until earlier this year.

The cosmetic and mechanical condition is absolutely superb, showing the benefits of a car that has always been garaged – crystal clear headlight lenses, no fade to the black scuttle and door mirror plastics, and a super bright original finish to the Speed Yellow paintwork. On the road, W548XAR feels very fresh, with lovely balanced handling a supple and composed ride (once we had replaced the 15 year old tyres which unsurprisingly were a little hard!). Performance on tap from the 252bhp flat-six engine is generous, with plenty of torque in the midrange and lots of power (and an intoxicating noise) in the upper reaches of the rev range. The 6 speed manual gearbox is slick in operation, the clutch pedal weight just right, and the brakes are powerful and progressive with a nice firm pedal. In truth, it feels more like a 3 year old car than a 23 year old one, and a real credit to its single custodian.”

The most recent owner lives in London but had his Boxster S professionally stored by Historit at Bicester Heritage, using it primarily for longer road trips and to take it to car shows. The car made a few visits to reputable Porsche specialist Autofarm during this time, and has also had a full detail including ceramic coating. Now looks spectacular and still drives extremely well.
