2001 Porsche Boxster 986 S Convertible - Blue - 155,558km - 3.2L V6 Automatic Roadster
Overview
The 986-generation Boxster S represents a pivotal moment in Porsche's modern history. Launched in 1996 and refined through the early 2000s, the Boxster democratised mid-engine sports car ownership whilst maintaining genuine performance credentials. This 2001 S variant sits at the sweet spot of the generation, featuring the enlarged 3.2-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine producing 252 kilowatts, paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The S badge denotes the more potent specification, distinguishing it from the base 2.7-litre models. At 155,558 kilometres, this example represents a genuine driver's car with character and provenance, finished in striking blue with a black convertible roof.
The 986 Boxster remains one of the most accessible entry points into Porsche ownership. The mid-mounted engine delivers responsive handling, the convertible roof offers genuine open-air motoring, and the automatic transmission provides everyday usability without sacrificing the sports car experience. This generation has matured well, with enthusiast communities thriving globally and parts availability remaining strong. The S variant commands respect amongst Boxster aficionados for its additional power and sporting intent.
Condition
Externally, the blue paint presents with good depth and gloss across the body panels. The bonnet shows minor stone chipping to the leading edge, consistent with highway use. Panel gaps are even and straight, with no obvious dents or creasing visible. The convertible roof is black and functional, lowering and raising as intended. Alloy wheels are fitted with matching tyres showing reasonable tread depth. The windscreen is clear with no obvious damage.
The interior shows honest wear consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage. The black leather seats display light patina and minor scuffing to the bolsters, typical of a well-used sports car. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped with minor wear to the grip areas. The dashboard is intact with no obvious cracks. The instrument cluster is clear and legible. Climate controls, electric windows, and convertible roof operation all function as observed. Minor scuffing is visible on interior trim pieces. The engine bay shows light surface oxidation on some components, which is typical for a 23-year-old vehicle, though the engine itself appears mechanically sound with no obvious leaks or damage visible.
The odometer reads 155,558 kilometres. The vehicle is presented unregistered and unroadworthy, sold as-is where-is without warranty or safety certificate.
