An Auction of Classic and Performance Cars and Motorcycles
2003 Porsche Boxster 2.7
Desirable manual gearbox
Registration - DA03 PWE
Chassis No. - WP0ZZZ98Z3U605005
M.O.T. - TBC
Odometer - 76,531
This notably well-presented 986 model Boxster was first registered in July 2003. Its lustrous silver bodywork is complemented by well cared for black leather interior trim. A full service history confirms the relatively modest total indicated mileage of 76,532, which has been amassed by a total of 12 keepers. Enthusiast drivers will be pleased to note that the 2.7-litre engine drives through a five-speed manual gearbox rather than the optional Tiptronic system. The vendor recently found the car to be faultless on a 600-mile trip, and currently considers the flat-six engine, transmission, two-seat bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ condition, He is now offering the Porsche complete with JVC radio/CD, fully-stamped service book, factory book pack and a full 12 months’-worth of MOT.
The chic two-door, two-seat Boxster was introduced alongside the evergreen 911 in 1996. Being of mid- rather than rear-engined configuration it actually exhibited superior handling and roadholding to the seemingly immortal 911, winning immediate acclaim from the media and customers alike. It was also the first road-going Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a roadster, having been penned that way 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. At launch the powerplant 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. With 225bhp on tap the 2.7-litre version was capable of sprinting to 60mph in only a little over six seconds and on to a top speed of almost 160mph.
In summary:
- A very well presented 2.7-litre, manual gearbox example
- Comes with original book pack and full service history
- 76,532 warranted miles from new
