Description

Introducing the Porsche Boxster 986 - a car that made a sensational debut in 1996 and quickly captured the hearts of driving enthusiasts. Powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre flat-six engine positioned just behind the driver and passenger, this mid-engined, two-seater roadster marked a turning point for Porsche, with nearly 165,000 units sold. Shooting Brake is proud to offer this 1998 Boxster (986) in the timeless Porsche shade of Arctic Silver over a sleek black interior, complete with a fully functional black electric soft top. Paired with a crisp 5-speed manual gearbox, this Boxster sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just under seven seconds. While it may not match modern performance figures, the real magic lies in the driving experience - every input is met with a visceral, rewarding response that brings the car to life beneath you. It's pure, engaging motoring at its finest. The steering is simply a treat, courtesy of its hydraulic assisted system that has sadly been lost to electric steering setups on newer Boxster's. The springs and dampers have been set up to keep you comfortable yet engaged. With the mid-engine mounted nice and low to the ground, the electric top - once retracted - fits neatly above the engine bay for a visually harmonic appearance. The wind-blocker provided allows passenger and driver to engage in conversation on your favourite B roads that showcase just how satisfying the Boxster is. With the sunny weather now upon us, here is your opportunity to enjoy what should be considered one of the most exciting roadsters ever made. Please note the Private Registration is included in the sale, as are two waterproof covers, various booklets and Porsche promotional materials and a comprehensive Service documents binder.
