Nice car fella, not keen on the colour personally but it's yours and I hope you enjoy it.

[ooid]

hmm nice colour!

[Diesel Meister]

Looks very tidy indeed - congrats!

ETA: I meant to say - somewhat cheesy - but gingercated, late pre-facelift = fist bump

She - assuming the sex for you there - looks good. Really makes me want to get on and ginger up mine. Anyone who thinks silver and ginger do not go needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Bang tidy!
I've never lived with a 987, but the test drives left me a bit meh. Perhaps extended drive or ownership would change my opinion but for my needs the 986 is where it's at.

This looks superb, assume it comes with a nice complete history. Enjoy.

Very nice! I am going to see a similar car today, a few more miles but same colour and year

Nice car, great photos.

A pal has a 51 reg Boxster S, no idea what model number that would be ( I am an Alfa man !), but having driven his a few times I must say that the build quality is way above anything else I have ever driven.

They feel so solid, especially as its a convertible.

By the way, I quite like the colour combination, may I suggest an alloy colour change to anthracite/black maybe ?

Controversial

I see more chatter about wheel colour than almost anything else - ok slight exaggeration.

Very capable cars!

I’m taking mine on a little tour of the South of France in August and can’t wait. I’ve had mine for 7 years and in that time I’ve only done about 15,000 miles and is very much a second or third car but it’s always a pleasure.

I think they’re starting to get prettier now too with their simple lines. Aging very gracefully.

I hope you enjoy your new purschase.

Cmoose, if you fancy a few spare parts (old cats & radiators), you can come and pick my old 986 parts, free! I've offered to a few gents on boxa already but they were pretty far away from London so they could not... We are moving home soon (big reason why I sold mine last year:/), so heavy old chunks has to go!

Polar silver wheels can be a nice (very subtle) contrast to an Arctic silver car.

Not sure I see anything wrong with current wheels... except maybe op may prefer square setup?

Nice car. I had a lovely 986S, which I sort of regret selling. I’m thinking I may well go for a 987 next Spring.

[Save the manuals]

Looks great! My dad used to have a pre-facelift 986S, now a 987S. The difference in refinement was huge. I was too young to drive so can’t comment on driving impressions, but I do remember using earplugs for all longer trips in the 986. Never considered doing that in the 987. Doesn’t excactly make it a better sports car though!

Very nice Cmoose, love the ambers and Arctic silver is a great colour, I may have to start a Croc thread now...

[bgunn]

Ooof that’s a good choice and the right colour. Red interior would have been perfect but the condition looks good.

Nice car!

[mattman]

Doesn’t look like your centre caps are correctly aligned

Looks to be in great condition -enjoy.

I started out looking at 986’s, scared myself reading forums like this and ended up in 987.2 S PDK at lots more than my original budget - still love it though
