Description
For sale, my W plate 2000 Porsche Boxster 986 2.7. 79k miles
I've had the car for two years.
Sadly my wife's MS has now got to the stage where being in the car is often uncomfortable.
Ocean Blue Metallic with Metropole Blue interior. Leather seats, 3-spoke steering wheel.
18" Wheels
This is probably the most basic Boxster to ever come out of the factory, there are no options but no rust either. Which is why I bought it.
Engine is good, no puffs of white smoke on start up, and pulls really well.
Rear spoiler pops up at the appropriate speed.
Porsche Classic registered
There is some previous service history but I have documented everything I've done to it.
The Clutch, RMS, IMS bearing upgrade to EPS solution, AOS, Coil Packs and Sparkplugs were changed by Sam Lander Engineering, an independent Porsche specialist in Malton, N. Yorks. The rest of the work was carried out by myself.
As can be seen, all the difficult and expensive jobs that 986's require have been done.
The car drives really well, all that needs to be done are the cosmetics, if this bothers you.

The not so good bits
Paint could be better - it's had paint during it's 25yrs, It doesn't bother me, I bought it to drive, not polish.
There is no AC, again doesn't bother me as the roof comes down and there is far less to go wrong.
Hood has a plastic rear window that has a couple of small (repaired) splits in it.
The central locking is by a third party remote system, it works well enough.
Someone tried to steal the bonnet badge recently and broke one of the pins off the back, the bonnet
