Shhhh! Or you'll cause a riot in the Lotus forum. It's well known we only buy Porsches for the badge.

Ha ha, they needn't worry, my main allegiance will always be with Lotus, I've owned them since 1975 and have had my current Elan over 20 years. I hated letting the Elise go but I'm sure I'll enjoy the Boxster.

Congrats to the OP.

Keep us posted on your experince. Be nice to see some pictures too.

My 981 C 2.7 now has 99K on the clock....it's been running just fine! Haven't got a clue how much it's worth. Will find out if I get on the GT4 list!

Hi all, just posting up as I've just bought a Boxster 987, 61 plate. Sadly had to sell my Elise due to difficulty getting out ( I'm an old git with arthritis) so checked out a few options and had several test drives e.g SLK, GT86, TT, MX5 among them and the Boxster came out best.
A couple of members in our local Lotus club and one of my clients have them and are happy with them so I've taken the plunge and bought from a well recommended Porsche specialist in Knaresborough North Yorkshire. Nice and local as I live near York.
All good so far and looking forward to some long UK and European trips as well as more local runs.

..... bought mine from the same place in November 2016, they were a great company to deal with, and the car has been faultless!!

That looks great, I've had a couple of yellow classic Elans in the past, always a favourite colour. My Boxster's aqua blue, 61 plate with low mileage and full main dealer/specialist service history. Hoping for improved weather this week to get out in it.
