A superb early example of the now highly regarded 986-generation Porsche Boxster, finished in classic Silver with black hood, a combination that perfectly suits the car’s clean, original design.

Launched in 1996, the 986 marked a pivotal moment for Porsche, introducing a mid-engined roadster that combined accessible pricing with true Stuttgart engineering pedigree. Today, these early 2.5-litre cars are increasingly recognised as modern classics, prized for their purity, balance and analogue driving feel.

Powered by Porsche’s original 2.5-litre water-cooled flat-six, producing approximately 204 bhp, this example is paired with the desirable Tiptronic S transmission, offering fully automatic operation for effortless cruising, along with steering wheel/manual shift functionality for a more involved drive when desired.

With just under 68,000 miles from new, this represents notably low mileage for a 1998 car, averaging under 2,500 miles per year. The mileage is described as genuine and well documented, supported by a full service history.

The bodywork presents well with a well-kept hood. There are a few small areas to note including: small dents on the boot, some scratches on the bonnet and front bumper, as well as slight laquer peel near the back bumper (see photos). Otherwise it is testament to how well this car has been looked after. The inclusion of the factory hard top is a significant bonus, enhancing refinement and usability during winter months while preserving the option of open-top motoring in summer.

This 1998 2.5 Tiptronic S represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine modern classic Porsche that delivers both everyday usability and authentic sports car engagement.
