2007 PORSCHE BOXSTER

Background:

Introduced in 2004, the second-generation Porsche Boxster, designated 987, built upon the success of its predecessor with revised styling, improved chassis dynamics and a more refined interior. Retaining the mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout that had established the Boxster's reputation, the 987 offered an engaging driving experience with the practicality and comfort expected of a modern Porsche roadster.

In 2006, the Boxster S received an enlarged 3.4-litre flat-six engine, producing 295bhp and offering a noticeable improvement in performance over the earlier 3.2-litre model. Paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, the revised S combined strong naturally aspirated performance with precise handling and the distinctive soundtrack of Porsche's flat-six engine.

With its balanced chassis, hydraulic power-steering and traditional manual transmission, the 987 Boxster S remains a particularly appealing choice for enthusiasts seeking an engaging open-top sports car.

The Car:

Dating from 2007, this Porsche Boxster S is finished in Atlas Grey Metallic with a contrasting black leather interior and had covered an indicated 51,050 miles at the time of cataloguing.

Powered by the 3.4-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, coupled to the desirable six-speed manual gearbox, this example benefits from an upgraded intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing, an important consideration for many prospective buyers of this generation.

The specification includes a factory-fitted BOSE sound system and electrically operated convertible hood, combining the Boxster's sporting character with a useful level of comfort and convenience. The car has benefited from recent mechanical attention, including new tyres and brakes all round, whilst the underside has also been sealed for additional protection.

Accompanied by an extensive service history, the Boxster has received regular recorded maintenance through Porsche Centre Tonbridge, Porsche specialists and independent garages, with documentation extending into 2026.

The accompanying maintenance records include the following entries:

Condition:

Our vendor describes the bodywork as being in immaculate condition, the recent replacement of all four tyres and brakes represents useful maintenance, whilst the underside has been treated with a protective sealant. The car's most recent MOT was issued with no advisories, providing further reassurance regarding its condition at the time of testing.

With its relatively modest recorded mileage, comprehensive maintenance records, upgraded IMS bearing and desirable six-speed manual transmission, this Boxster S offers an attractive opportunity to acquire a well-maintained example of Porsche's mid-engined roadster.

Combining the character of the naturally aspirated 3.4-litre flat-six with the balance and precision of the 987 chassis, it remains a rewarding and increasingly appreciated modern Porsche sports car.
