The first generation 987 Cayman is a staggeringly good all round sports car, with one of the finest handling chassis combined with great performance, superb build quality and a surprising level of day-to-day practicality. The only issue they face is that the 3.4 engined S models can suffer from bore scoring, the result of which is that values of 987.1 Caymans are far lower than their 987.2 “Gen 2″ counterparts, which can mean excellent value IF the 987.1 Cayman S you’re looking at has no bore scoring. So when we buy 987.1 era Caymans and Boxsters with the 3.4 S engine, we carry out a bore scope inspection ourselves, and share the results (with pictures) with our customers. GK06CVE had a bore scope inspection in Feb 2024 at 71k miles when we first sold it, and was completely clear. The chap we originally sold it to in 2024 undertook further modifications [...]

Here we have a stunning early Boxster 2.7 in Guards Red, which has covered an amazingly low 16,118 miles from new in the hands of just 3 owners, 2 of whom were father and son. W772VHB was first registered in the UK on 16th June 2000, having been originally collected from Wittebrug Porsche in Voorburg, Netherlands on 30th May 2000. Wittebrug Porsche was the world’s first Porsche dealer, having started selling Porsche cars in 1950! Ordering a UK-spec Porsche from a European dealer was quite commonplace at the turn of the century, as UK dealers struggled to get enough cars to satisfy demand.

The first owner, from Abergavenny, ordered his Boxster with a rare option at the time – the SportDesign package (option code 012) which included diamond pattern trim to the dashboard, door panels and centre console, contrast Graphite Silver painted plastics, black leather sports seats with Graphite Silver painted seat backs, and black [...]
