2015 Porsche Boxster 3.8 Spyder 2dr CONVERTIBLE PETROL Manual

Description

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2025 on Saturday the 8th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. , The Porsche Boxster had always been intended as a simple two-seat roadster, offering a more accessible alternative to the 911 while retaining the marque’s driver focused DNA. By the time the 981-generation was launched in 2012, Porsche had refined the platform with wider tracks, sharper suspension, and improved chassis dynamics, creating a car that was both more engaging and better balanced than its predecessor.The 981 Boxster Spyder was unveiled at the 2015 New York Auto Show as a pure, driver focused roadster, marking a return to the brand's roots with a limited edition model that stripped away unnecessary luxuries in favour of mechanical purity, engagement, and performance. Weighing just 1,390?kg, the Spyder is approximately 30?kg lighter than the Boxster GTS, thanks to aluminium doors and a manually operated roof, while also being 10?mm longer and 11?mm lower than the Boxster GTS, further improving balance and poise.One of the most significant aspects of the Spyder is the engine, a 3.8-litre flat-six sourced from the 991 Carrera S, producing 375?bhp and paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. This combination delivers a visceral, connected driving experience, amplified by sportier suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and a chassis set up for maximum driver engagement. The Spyder also features lightweight folding carbon bucket seats, a manually operated roof, and minimal interior trim, creating a car purely focused on driving. The iconic rear ‘double-bubble’ panel and revised front styling give the Spyder a purposeful, unmistakable presence, echoing the classic ‘speedster’ rear ends of earlier Porsches.This particular example is one of just 227 UK-supplied 981 Spyders, finished in Guards Red over a black leather and Alcantara interior with folding carbon bucket seats, arguably the purest driver-focused specification available, especially with carbon ceramic brakes and the optional radio delete. The car has lived a cherished life, having been purchased by our vendor in 2025 for his wife, who unfortunately could not get on with the bucket seats, meaning the Spyder became surplus to requirements through lack of use. It remains a lightly used and meticulously cared for example.Condition is exceptional, with a full Porsche main dealer and specialist service history, the most recent service carried out at Porsche Bournemouth less than 3,000 miles ago with the mileage standing at just 39,683.Accompanied by V5C registration documents, MOT valid until June 2026, two keys, service book, and supporting invoices, this Guards Red Boxster Spyder presents an opportunity to acquire a modern Porsche that perfectly embodies rarity, purity, focus, and driving enjoyment. As a limited-run, enthusiast-led variant, it is set to become a modern classic and is likely to be remembered as one of the great modern Porsches.
