The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
2006 Porsche Cayman
***NO RESERVE***
Registration - PX56 BMV
Chassis No. - WP0ZZZ98Z7U750623
M.O.T. - July 2024
Odometer - 142,830
This early example of Porsche’s Boxster-derived three-door fastback coupé has been treated to a carbon wrap of the bonnet, roof, boot and spoiler. ‘PX56 BMV’ has been well looked after throughout its life, with a history file containing paperwork detailing the service history, with the most recent service just 4,000 miles ago. The car has an MOT to July 2024. Presented in black with black leather trim, black painted alloy wheels and yellow brake callipers, this Cayman has the desirable manual six-speed transmission. The current owner rates the 2.7-litre engine and the transmission as ‘excellent’, and the electrics, bodywork, interior and paintwork as ‘good’, though the sills and wheel arches would benefit from a little attention. The car comes with owner’s manual, handbook and service book.
Porsche’s introduction of the Grant Larson-designed mid-engined two-seater Boxster cabriolet was the result of several years of striving to reverse the company’s fortunes following the poor sales of the 928. The concept was presented at the North American International Auto Show in January 1993, and very well received by press and public. Production started in 1996 and, with its coupé ‘sister’, the Cayman, the Boxster would achieve the desired commercial result for Porsche, with both vehicles appealing to drivers who wanted to combine luxury motoring with excellent stability and dynamic performance. Styling was revised for the second-generation Boxster, which went on sale in 2005, with changes including larger wheel arches to accommodate wheels up to 19”, bigger side intake vents and redesigned headlights. That same year Porsche unveiled the Pinky Lai-designed three-door coupé Cayman S for the 2006 model year evolved from the second-generation Boxster, with the base model Cayman arriving in 2006. For the first six years Caymans were built by Valmet Automotive in Finland, with Boxster and Cayman production switching to the former Volkswagen Karmman plant in Osnabrück, Germany in 2012.
In summary:
- An early example of Porsche’s highly successful mid-engined fastback coupé
- Features the desirable six-speed manual transmission
- Carbon wrap to bonnet, roof, boot and spoiler
