A superb 987.1 Boxster 3.4 S in a rare colour, CN56LVS has covered just 75,805 miles from new, and benefits from having had only 4 owners in 17 years, the most recent having bought the car in December 2010. Fitted with some nice options – heated sports seats, 19″ SportDesign wheels, BOSE sound system, rear parking sensors and carbon interior trim – and with an excellent service history, the car drives perfectly and looks fantastic in Cobalt Blue.

We are lucky to get offered lots of nice Boxsters and Caymans, and then every now and again we get a call like this one, from an owner who has cherished his car for over a decade, and entrusted it to the same Porsche specialist for his entire ownership period (13 years in this case). The service history is very good, with stamps in the maintenance record backed up with all invoices back [...]

The limited edition Boxster S 550 Spyder was introduced in late 2003 to celebrate 50 years since the production of the legendary Porsche 550 Spyder. Production was limited to 1,953 units worldwide, each of which carried a numbered plaque. UK RHD production was c.150 units, so this remains a very rare limited edition model.

All 550 Spyders were produced in exclusive GT Silver metallic paint (the same colour used for the Carrera GT), not available on any other 986 Boxster model. The interiors were finished in extended Cocoa Brown leather with a matching brown hood as standard, with Grey/black hood as a no cost option. The car was available with either a 6-speed manual or 5-speed auto Tiptronic transmission.

Mechanical changes made for the 550 Spyder included a new air filter and intake system (from the soon to be launched 987) which increased power output to 266bhp, M030 sports suspension with [...]

Here we have a really nice 986 Boxster 2.7 Tiptronic, in classic Arctic Silver with Metropole blue leather interior and a matching navy blue hood. This car has covered just under 97,000 miles over the last 23 years, averaging around 4,200 miles per year. It has a fantastic service history, with 18 service stamps in the maintenance record, the first 14 of which were from the supplying dealer Porsche Centre Exeter. The history file also includes 16 old MOT certificates, right back to 2004.

W973VTT has a few well chosen options fitted – cruise control, automatic air conditioning and leather seats being the main ones. It has benefitted from long term ownership by just 4 owners in total, and all in Devon and Cornwall.

We have completed the following works to prepare the car for sale – Major service, new spark plugs and auxiliary drive belt, brake fluid change, new coolant [...]

Another car we’ve sold (twice!) before, V73 FPB is now back in stock, it’s previous owner having swapped it for our Cobalt Blue 987 Cayman S.

Guards Red with black leather is such a classic Porsche colour scheme that it’s surprising how few 986 Boxsters were ordered in this specification. We absolutely love them here at Flat Six Classics, and it seems our customers do too, as every time we get a Guards Red car in, they don’t tend to hang around long.

It obviously helps when the examples we get are low mileage cars in lovely condition, and V73 FPB ticks those boxes as well. With just 47,875 miles covered in nearly 23 years, this very early Stuttgart-built 3.2 S has a good service history with 16 stamps in the service record, the first 10 at Porsche main dealers.

The 2000 model year 3.2 S cars built between September 1999 and mid-2000 include some [...]

LF05LUW is a stunning 987.1 Boxster 3.2 S in Atlas Grey with black leather interior and hood. The car has now covered 91,160 miles in total, with an impeccable service record at Porsche OPCs and well-regarded Porsche specialists. This is a car we sold to a chap from Suffolk back in September 2020, who has continued its maintenance at well-regarded Porsche specialists Pie Performance, and added a DesignTek stainless steel sports exhaust system. We bought the car back from him in March 2023, and prepared the car for sale again with new front brake discs and pads, refurbished the wheels and fitted 4 new tyres, and replaced the coolant hoses and crossover pipes. It was soon sold to a customer from Stirling, however a change in his circumstances has led to us buying the car back after just a few months.

Benefitting from an extensive options list that includes heated hardback [...]

Number 332 of the 1,960 limited edition Boxster RS60 Spyders produced in 2008, YJZ6795 is a car that we sourced for a customer back in 2018, and one that we subsequently sold to it’s current owner in April 2022. The RS60 was available in four distinct variations, manual or Tiptronic, and either a Carrera Red interior and roof, or graphite grey as an alternative. It’s subjective I know, but the best combination has to be a manual car with the Carrera Red interior, the closest approximation to the racing Type 718 Spyders that won the Sebring 12 hours and the Targa Florio in 1960. YJZ6795 ticks both boxes, and as one of just 300 UK RHD cars out of the worldwide 1,960 made, it’s pretty rare too.

Now showing just 48,952 miles and with a full service history (8 stamps in the service record, the last a Minor service at renowned [...]

HG08AZN was one of the first Caymans we sold back in November 2018, and we are delighted to welcome it back to Flat Six Classics, it’s owner having decided to change to a 981 Boxster S after nearly 5 years of ownership.

Presented in classic Arctic Silver with black leather interior, HG08AZN has now covered 67,726 miles, and has an excellent service history, showing 10 stamps in the maintenance record, all from Porsche main dealers or recognised Porsche specialists. Options fitted when new include hard-backed sports seats with embossed Porsche crests, 19″ ‘lobster claw’ alloy wheels, PCM2 Porsche Communications Management, BOSE sound system, ParkAssistant rear parking sensors, and automatic air conditioning.

The previous owner (our customer) has invested in some well-chosen enhancements to the car, including a Carnewal sports exhaust, 20mm lower Eibach springs, Alcantara gearknob and gaiter, handbrake lever and steering wheel in Alcantara and leather, and a fire extinguisher. [...]

Here we have a returning favourite, one of the gems we were lucky enough to buy in the early days of Flat Six Classics. An Arctic Silver 986 Boxster 3.2 Tiptronic S bought by its second owner (a Mr Alan Bennett – no, not that one) in 2011 at 28,000 miles, he added a few more each year to take it to 42,500 miles by the time we bought it in 2019. Then in stunning original condition and with a perfect service record and MOT history, we sold it within 24 hours to a couple who wanted a car to take out to their holiday home in France each summer.

A couple of weeks ago they decided to sell the car and offered it back to us – I genuinely couldn’t get there fast enough! Still in amazing condition and having been looked after by Cameron Porsche near Bath for the [...]
