Description

** This vehicle has recently passed our meticulous pre-purchase inspection and has now arrived on site, where it has undergone a second detailed assessment and extended test drive. The photographs capture the car exactly as it arrived — already presenting beautifully, as only the finest examples ever make it into our selection. It is now undergoing final preparation behind the scenes and will require only light finishing touches before being ready for handover. Given its superb condition and desirability, we recommend reserving early to secure it ahead of other discerning buyers ** This is not just a Boxster RS60 Spyder — it’s one with a proper, credible backstory, and that matters with a car like this. Limited to just 1,960 cars worldwide – with only around 300 delivered to the UK – the RS60 Spyder sits in a very special corner of Porsche history. Built to commemorate Porsche’s 1960 Sebring victory, it perfectly balances rarity, heritage and genuine driver focus. This example is number 1345, confirmed by its factory dashboard plaque. It has been owned for approximately 12 years by a genuine Porsche enthusiast who acquired it in 2014 alongside his 996 GT3 RS — a car he still owns today. It has formed part of a carefully curated collection and has clearly been cherished throughout. With simply too many cars in the garage, one had to make way, and we were fortunate enough to secure this superb RS60. This wasn’t a short-journey or stop-start car. Much of the mileage was accumulated on European road trips, exactly the environment these cars were built for — long, flowing roads rather than cold starts and congestion. That context matters when you look at both how it drives and how it presents. It feels used properly, not worn out. Even the smallest details have been cared for properly. The wheel bolts are still finished in silver rather than the usual oxidised, rotten metal colour you so often see, and the red brake callipers sit clean and bright behind the wheels rather than dulled or tired. These are the kinds of details you don’t restore accidentally — they’re preserved through careful ownership. The later 981-style alloys suit the RS60 perfectly and genuinely lift the whole car, giving it a sharper, more modern stance while still feeling completely at home on a special edition like this. Taken together, it’s these finishing touches that quietly underline just how well this car has been kept. The paperwork backs it all up. There’s a comprehensive service record stretching right back to its PDI in 2008, with regular minor and major services, spark plugs, belts and inspections carried out on schedule. Everything is organised and accounted for, not pieced together. This is the sort of history you hope to find but rarely do. Conditionally, it feels honest and well cared for rather than over-prepared. Nothing feels tired, nothing feels neglected, and there’s a consistency to the way the car presents that only comes from long-term, knowledgeable ownership. The previous owner also kept a 996 GT3 RS alongside this — and that alone tells you the level of understanding and mechanical sympathy involved. This is very much a car bought from “the right sort” of Porsche owner. Specification is exactly as you’d want on an RS60, and crucially, it still feels intact and original. The Carrera Red leather interior defines the cabin, complemented by silver seat belts, leather extending across the interior, and the distinctive RS60 plaques on the dash and door sills. The Sport Chrono Package Plus, adaptive suspension (PASM), and the valved sports exhaust give it real depth when driving, while heated seats, cruise control and BOSE audio make it genuinely usable. The six-speed manual gearbox is central to the appeal here. It suits the character of the car perfectly and reinforces what the RS60 was always meant to be — a driver’s car with heritage, not a numbers exercise. The high
