2001 PORSCHE (986) BOXSTER S - 5,326 MILES

KEY FACTS

• An astonishing ‘time warp’ sports car, with just one registered keeper and recently recommissioned.
• Power comes from a rear-mounted 3.2-litre flat-six engine, which is coupled to an engaging six-speed manual transmission.
• Benefitting from a very strong factory specification, this Boxster S was stored for a number of years before being subject to a major recommissioning during 2020.
• There is only one registered keeper on the V5C, though it is now offered by its second private collector owner who has not put the car into their name.

 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

•  From the factory, this Boxster S was fitted with numerous desirable extras including PSM, extended leather interior, on-board computer and the sports chassis pack.
• Included with the vehicle is the original book pack and Porsche manuals, original customer collection check sheet and service record with two OPC stamps and invoices. The extensive and itemised invoice from the decommissioning during 2020 is also present, though this work was not stamped in the service book at the request of the vendor.

CONDITION

• There is no body damage to the car.

• The bodywork has been ceramic coated to preserve its excellent condition.
• All four wheels are pristine with no kerbing or other marks.
• Inside, the cabin is in nearly new condition, owing to only just over 5,000 miles having been covered. There are very slight creases on the driver’s seat bolsters, but otherwise it looks immaculate. In fact, the vendor states the ‘new car’ smell is still present.
• There are no known faults, and no warning lights on the dashboard. All of the switchgear works perfectly.
• The most recent MOT test took place on 04 December 2020, and resulted in a clean pass with no advisories.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The latest maintenance took place during December 2020, and comprised of a major service including new spark plugs, oil and filter changes and a new auxiliary belt being fitted, with all old parts being present with the vehicle.
• Prior to this, the car was serviced by Porsche Centre Colchester in 2002 and 2003, with both stamps being present in the service records.
