2001 Porsche Boxster 3.2S
6 Speed Manual, Only 42,000 miles. Complete with hardtop.
Registration - Y149 JAJ
Chassis No. - WP0ZZZ98Z1U643113
M.O.T. - June 2022
Odometer - 42,000
Boxsters are great cars, the early versions of which are stunning value in the current market. Some examples of the 986 model are a bit bedraggled by now, but not so ‘C6 ORC’ which appears to be in splendid order inside and out. Its glossy black paintwork is paired with an exceedingly smart oxblood leather interior. The Porsche comes complete with a comprehensive service history that supports its current indicated mileage of only 42,000, a figure that’s been amassed by a total five keepers – a relatively modest number for this type of car. The Boxster is now available for sale complete with colour-matched hardtop. A perfect purchase for the impending spring weather.
The chic two-seater Boxster was unveiled in late 1996 and was the first road-going Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a roadster. It was penned by Dutch designer Harm Lagaay, who was also primarily responsible for the 968, 993, Cayenne, 996 and Carrera GT.
The Boxster sobriquet was a contraction of ‘boxer-engined roadster’ – the newcomer being a convertible with water-cooled flat-six engine mounted amid-ships. At launch it was 2.5-litres in capacity, but the standard offering was increased to 2.7-litres in 2000, coincident with the introduction of the higher performance 3.2-litre S. Suspension was independent all round by MacPherson struts and coil springs, braking by power-assisted ventilated discs and steering by rack and pinion. The 3.2-litre S featured bigger wheels, upgraded braking and suspension systems and notably more performance - with 252bhp on tap it could sprint to 60mph in six seconds and on to a top speed of 160mph. Just under 47,000 3.2-litre Boxster Ss were built between 1996 and 2002.
In summary:
- A very smartly-presented example of Porsche’s mid-engined wonder
- Comes complete with a good service history and desirable hardtop
- Just 42,000 miles travelled to date
- Please note registration plate on vehicle is Y149 JAJ, rather than the cherished plate as shown in photos
