2002 Porsche Boxster 3.2 S 2dr CONVERTIBLE Petrol Manual

Description

This lot will be auctioned via Historics Classic and Sportscar Auctioneers at The Pace of Autumn; Ascot Racecourse sale on Saturday 20th September. Desirable 3.2 S with manual gearbox. Comprehensive history. The first-generation Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996 and was powered by a 2.5 litre flat, six-cylinder engine. Harm Lagaay's design, inspired by the 356 Speedster and 550 Spyder, stimulated a commercial turnaround for Porsche. Many believe the introduction of the Boxster helped save Porsche from acquisition. It was Porsche's first water-cooled, non-front engine sportscar as the Boxster is mid-engine, while in the 911, rear-engine. This layout provided a low centre of gravity, near-perfect weight distribution and good handling. In 2000, the new Boxster S variant was introduced with a larger 3.2 litre engine and the base model received a more powerful 2.7 litre engine. In 2003, styling and engine output was upgraded on both variants. Production of the 986 began at the former Porsche 928 facility in Stuttgart, Germany in 1996. The Boxster was Porsche's biggest volume seller from its introduction in 1996 until the company introduced the Cayenne sport utility vehicle in 2003.First registered 5th June 2002, this 3.2 litre S boasts a manual gearbox and is finished in Ocean Jade metallic with a full light grey leather interior. We believe this colourway was not an option on the Boxster after 2000 therefore this may be a rare PTS option with Porsche at the time of first order. This example has had significant expenditure in the last two years including upgraded exhaust headers, all new studs, new discs and pads all round and tyres, the suspension has been fully refreshed including coffin arms, tuning forks, all bushes, drop links and ball joints. The AOS air oil separator and all associated vac pipes and hoses have been renewed alongside all fluids changed ahead of schedule since new. This is coupled to a comprehensive service history and an MoT test certificate until March 2026, providing any prospective buyer with a great deal of confidence.The mechanical care coupled with one of the most desirable colours, viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the result of the time and money that has been lavished upon this gorgeous Porsche.
