2005 Porsche Boxster (987.1)

Highlights

  • Only one owner from new
  • Valid MOT until April 2024
  • Recently serviced
  • Highly original

The Appeal

The Porsche Boxster was the premium German take on the classic Roadster format - a compact, speedy, sporty little motor that set the world on fire and really stole the crown for two-seater, top-down motoring. The second generation was, by all accounts, even better - more powerful, with distinctive Carrera GT-inspired styling. 
This example of the second generation Boxster has been in single, cossetting ownership from new, and is highly original - giving you the perfect chance to take on this much-beloved car.
