This Mercedes 200SLK has come to us as a part exchange, and is in excellent condition throughout. 81,000 miles and with a full service history (11 stamps, the last in June 2021 at 77,531 miles). Normally we would sell these cars to colleagues in the trade, but YT55RWF is in such nice condition that we’ve decided to offer it ourselves.

Presented in Tellurium Silver with a pale beige leather interior, the car is cosmetically excellent, with just two small marks – a touched in scratch to the passenger side rear wing, and a split to the stitching on the drivers seat side bolster. Other than that, it is spotlessly clean, everything works and it drives without fault.

These R171 second generation SLK models are a significant advance over the first gen cars, and feature the excellent Vario roof fully electric folding hardtop. With its supercharged 1.8 petrol engine and a 6 [...]

Here we have another lovely early Boxster S, in the classic colour combination of Arctic Silver with black leather. J70 YLR was first registered in September 2000 and delivered by Porsche Centre Bournemouth to its first owner, who specified a mouthwatering selection of options for his Boxster: heated sports seats, Litronic xenon headlamps with washer system, extended leather to dashboard and door cards, 18″ 993 Turbo look wheels, PSM Porsche Stability Management, and a couple of lovely cosmetic touches – roll over bar painted Arctic Silver, and aluminium inlays to the gearknob and handbrake lever.

This Boxster has covered 89,518 miles over the past 20 years or so, with 55,000 of these being covered in the first 6 years, before settling back to a more typical 2,500 miles per year since then. The maintenance history is very good, with 16 service stamps in the maintenance record. We have just completed a [...]

Another early Boxster 3.2 S first registered in March 2000 by Dick Lovett in Swindon, W367GAP is in absolutely superb order throughout, with great history and just 49,148 miles from new, an average of just 2,340 miles each year in the hands of just 4 owners, the first two of which were father and son.

The specification of this car is generous, with some choice options added by Mr Walker when ordering his Boxster after seeing it at the London Motor Show in October 1999 – a copy of the Porsche brochure from the Show with handwritten annotations is included in the history file. The main options are hardback sports seats, extended Metropole leather to dashboard and door panels, automatic air conditioning, Traction Control, Litronic xenon headlights with washer system, and a Becker Porsche CDR-22 CD radio unit. That little lot came to £47,602 in early 2000 (when the average house [...]

A super “facelift” Boxster 3.2 S in the ever popular Lapis Blue with graphite grey leather interior, BJ03GKC has covered just 70,256 miles over the past 18 years, in the hands of five owners. The car is lightly optioned with heated seats and automatic air conditioning, and the previous owner has updated the hi-fi with the addition of an Alpine CD radio with Bluetooth and USB connectivity (whilst keeping the original Becker Porsche CDR-23 head unit for originality if desired).

We recently took BJ03GKC on a 2,000 mile trip around the North West Highlands of Scotland (the ultimate test drive!), and had a fantastic time. We have already prepared the car with a Major service and brake fluid change, new clutch, and replaced the rear brake discs and pads.

A great example of the facelift 986 Boxster S, call Sean on 07595 455568 for more information or to arrange to come [...]

A very nice “facelift” 986 Boxster 2.7 in classic Arctic Silver with black leather interior, VO03EEG has covered 81,500 miles since new and comes with a good service history, with 12 maintenance stamps in the service record. Looking particularly smart on its JBW Fuchs replica deep-dish wheels fitted with Michelin N-rated tyres, and sounds great as well thanks to the stainless steel sports exhaust.

These 2.7 “facelift’ cars are a real sweet spot for the 986 Boxster range – increased power and torque over the 2.5 and earlier 2.7 cars, a more modern look with revised bumper design and clear lights, and the upgraded hood with heated glass rear window.

VO03EEG drives very nicely, with perfectly weighted controls, plenty of performance, surefooted roadholding and precise steering delivering a sublime driving experience.

We have prepared the car for sale with a Minor service, new spark plugs, brake fluid change and a full [...]

Here we have a fantastic early Boxster 2.5 in the launch colours of Arctic Silver with Boxster Red leather interior. This is a genuine and completely original 1 owner car, with a comprehensive history file containing every invoice from the original order form and sales invoice, through all the service invoices right up to the present day.

We love a one owner car here at Flat Six Classics, especially when we get to meet the owners in person and hear the history of the car firsthand. In this case, Mr Taylor and his wife ordered their Boxster from Carrs Porsche in Exeter in April 1998 to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. But such was the demand for the Boxster after its UK launch that they had to wait until 21st July 1999 before their car was delivered. In the meantime, they purchased the personalised registration J1LSY for the car (have a [...]
