2005 Porsche Boxster
Highlights
- Please note the EML light issue was resolved by the vendors garage shortly after the photo shoot and is no longer on.
- Well maintained car with recent service
- Long MOT to April 2025 with no advisories
- Highly regarded 2nd generation 235bhp Boxster
- Two registered keepers from new
- Smart silver over black colour scheme
- Very usable and entertaining summer convertible
The Appeal
The 987 took what the Boxster had made great and made it even better. Offering buyers updated 911-style aesthetics with a similarly exhilarating but wholly different driving experience to its sibling, these cars are now becoming highly regarded modern classics.
This early 235bhp 2.7 has had just two registered keepers from new and been clearly well maintained. Finished in smart silver metallic over black leather, it would work equally well as an entertaining daily driver or weekend indulgence.
Regularly maintained and recently serviced, it comes with the reassurance of a long MOT to April 2025 containing no advisories.
