Another car that we are lucky enough to have been offered by an enthusiast owner, W395SRX is a great example of an early 986 Boxster in fantastic original condition, but which has benefitted from some significant refurbishment to the suspension, AC system and exhaust fixings in the last couple of years.

Presented in the classic Porsche combination of Arctic Silver with black leather interior and hood, W395SRX has covered just 72,936 miles over 21 years, in the hands of just three long term owners. To save you the mental gymnastics, thats just under 3,500 miles a year, and in that time, the car has been serviced 18 times, including 8 Porsche OPC services and the last 8 services from 2013 to 2020 by Horsham based specialists Addspeed.

As a result, the car feels unbelievably fresh for a 20 year old model, with taut handling, excellent brakes and smooth power delivery. There [...]

We are delighted to be able to offer another low mileage 986 Boxster S, in one of our favourite colour combinations of deep Lapis Blue metallic paint with black leather interior and hood. Y495VHR was first registered in June 2001 and has had just 3 owners from new, the most recent a retired engineer who bought the car from Paragon Porsche in November 2013.

MX56NZF came to us in part exchange for our Ruby Red Gen 2 Boxster 2.9, from a long term owner of 8 years. Looking fantastic is classic Porsche Guards Red with black leather, MX56NZF is a 987.1 Boxster 3.4 S with just over 97,000 miles recorded, and 10 maintenance stamps in the service record. In addition, in November 2019 at 91,749 miles the owner commissioned a full engine rebuild by renowned specialists Hartech, to address some bore scoring in 3 cylinders. The bill for this work, that included a new clutch and a few months later, a new starter motor, was over £9,700.

The previous owner also maintained a spreadsheet to record all expenditure on his Boxster, which shows new front and rear brake discs and pads, AC condensers and a cooling fan in 2016 at 79,872 miles, and a new set of coil packs in 2018 at 87,948 miles. This [...]

A rare and beautifully presented 996-era 911 Targa 6-speed manual, with a fantastic service history and a number of significant additional maintenance items addressed. With just 67,376 miles covered and 12 maintenance stamps in the service record, we sourced WR03YCC in 2020 for a good customer, who swapped his Speed Yellow Boxster S for this car so he could take both his grandchildren out at the same time.

Stunning in classic Arctic Silver with extended black leather interior, WR03YCC has a few well chosen options – 18″ Turbo look wheels, BOSE sound system, a rear screen wiper and originally, PCM2 with navigation module. Our customer wanted to upgrade the hi-fi to a modern setup with Bluetooth, so has replaced the PCM2 head unit with a Pioneer AVH-Z3200DAB double DIN head unit, complete with a subtly integrated rear parking camera. Very high tech!

The car has been maintained to a very high [...]
