A fantastic example of Porsche’s first-generation Boxster roadster, ‘X251 REC’ is presented in classic Guards Red, with black leather interior. This mid-engined Boxster uses Porsche’s 2.7-litre six-cylinder boxer engine, and the high desirable five-speed manual transmission. The black canvas roof is original and in full working order, and ‘X251 REC’ has been cherished, and offered with two keys. Factory fitted features include the centrally-mounted exhaust, star-shaped ten-spoke alloys, leather upholstery, wind deflector, electric windows, and Porsche audio system.
‘X251 REC’ has only two former keepers, and has been in current ownership for the past 17 years. Offered with original book pack, including Porsche owners manuals and service record, the latter has 15 stamps in the book. There is also a file full of paperwork to back up the service books and MOTs, while this Boxster is considered to be in very good condition throughout. The bodywork, paint, and interior are all reckoned ‘good’, while the engine, transmission, and electrics are rated as ‘excellent’. Displaying an indicated 109,000 miles on the odometer, ‘X251 REC’ is not a high-mileage example for its age, and has been meticulously looked after.
- Well presented pre-facelift first-generation Boxster
- Large file of paperwork and extensive service history
- Fitted with 2.7-litre engine and manual gearbox
Porsche’s introduction of the mid-engined two-seater Boxster cabriolet was the result of several years of striving to reverse the company’s fortunes following poor sales of the 928. 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. The first-generation was offered only as the convertible Boxster, and shared a number of styling details with the 911 of the time. Launched with a 2.5-litre flat-six, which was upgraded to a 2.7-litre version in 2000, with a 3.2-litre unit joining the offering; each were available with manual or Tiptronic automatic transmissions. A subtle facelift came along in 2002, before being replaced in 2004 with the second-generation model, which also introduced the Cayman coupe.
