2004 Porsche Boxster - Classic Motors For Sale

Vehicle Overview
Technical Specifications

The first-generation Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996 and was powered by a 2.5 litre flat, six-cylinder engine. Harm Lagaay's design, inspired by the 356 Speedster and 550 Spyder, stimulated a commercial turnaround for Porsche. It was Porsche's first water-cooled, non-front-engine sportscar, featuring a flat-six mounted in the middle of the car, as opposed to the rear-engined layout of the 911. This layout provided a low centre of gravity, near-perfect weight distribution and great handling. Production of the 986 began at the former Porsche 928 facility in Stuttgart, Germany in 1996. In 2000, the new Boxster S variant was introduced with a larger 3.2 litre engine, and the base model received a more powerful 2.7 litre engine. In 2003, the Boxster received a facelift, and engine output was upgraded on both variants. The Boxster was Porsche's biggest volume seller from its introduction in 1996 until the company introduced the Cayenne SUV in 2003.

This 2004 facelift Boxster has been in the care of our vendor since 2008, with only one previous owner. Resplendent in Midnight Metallic Blue paintwork, the car has been kept in great condition over the last eighteen years, with comprehensive servicing by Porsche main dealers and Porsche specialists. The interior, in Savannah Beige leather, presents very well, with only minor wear to the usual areas (drivers' seat bolster and door card). The Carrera alloy wheels present very well, and the soft-top has been well-cared for, thanks to minimal use, primarily in summer. This delightful Boxster is supplied with an MoT test certificate until June 2027, having passed with no advisories. Sensibly estimated, the first-generation Boxster represents fantastic value for such a well-balanced sportscar that will surely put a smile on the face of any enthusiast.
