2001 Porsche Boxster (986)
No Reserve
One-family-owned from new until earlier this year. Pretty
example with the popular 2.7-litre engine option mated to manual transmission
showing just 74,957 miles
Dating from March 2001
and supplied new by HR Owen (now Porsche Centre Hatfield), this remarkably
original and lower mileage Porsche 986 Boxster 2.7 has spent it’s whole life in
the ownership of just one family until earlier this year when our vendor bought
it from us. The four former keepers are actually just three
individuals – son, father (twice) and daughter.
The options code under the bonnet reveals this 986 to have been
ordered in desirable Lapis Blue metallic paint, with a navy blue hood and
graphite grey leather interior. The options specified include electric sports
seats (codes 375 and 376), PSM Porsche Stability Management (476), automatic air
conditioning (573), a Becker Porsche CDR-22 CD radio and CDC-3 6-disc CD changer
(692 and 695), and extended leather to the dashboard and door panels (981), a
rare option on a Boxster that really increases the premium feel of the
interior.
The first owner (the son) kept the
Boxster for six years to 2007, by which time it had covered just under 48,000
miles, and been serviced four times, twice by the supplying dealer and twice by
well-respected Porsche specialists JZ Machtech.
He then sold the car to his father, who kept it for another six
years, covering only c.11,000 miles before passing it on to his daughter in
2013, by which time the odometer was reading 59,000 miles. The daughter kept the
car for a further seven years before handing it back to her father in
2020.
The service record shows a further 3 stamps in 2013, 2016, and most
recently in January 2022, when the car had a comprehensive major service
including new spark plugs, drive belt, rear brake pads, brake fluid change and
some additional works including a new rear window to the hood, at Boxster
specialist Flat Six Classics. The car was also treated to new spark plug tubes,
12 O-rings and two new front tyres ahead of the sale at a cost of
£513.
The history file is comprehensive,
containing 16 service and maintenance invoices and the last 14 MOT certificates,
along with the original leather owners book pack containing the owner’s manuals
and the stamped maintenance record with the eight aforementioned stamps. The
current MOT runs until September 2023 recording just two minor
advisories.
These 986 Boxsters are becoming
collectable now that the model has passed its 25th birthday and is
recognised by Porsche Classic. Early low mileage cars with good histories are
leading the charge, and with Y91 JTM having spent most of its life in the care
of just one family, it looks like a great opportunity.
