Introduction

Dom Ginn
Professional Consigner

A sports car that is all about the thrill of driving, precise handling and connection between the driver, vehicle and road - the 3rd generation 981 Boxster.

The third-generation Boxster (known internally as 981) was first announced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2012. The 981 was a big step up from its predecessor with a new body, 40% more torsionally rigid chassis, a wider front track, longer wheelbase, and a 35kg weight reduction.

The 2013 model of the Porsche Boxster was a big change in design - a step away from the sleek small body to a more muscular shape. Larger side intakes deeply set into the rear-quarter panels and deeply crease the doors, echoing the Carrera GT.

The third-gen also came equipped with a newly developed flat-6 2.7-litre and PDK automatic gearbox offering the driver 265bhp to tap into. Marion purchased this example 5 years ago and has enjoyed pottering around town in this convertible example since, especially on bright and sunny afternoons.

This auction listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Marion the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

I love the undeniably good looks, power and performance this little roadster offers.

Marion purchased this Porsche Boxster with PDK back in 2017, while in the market for a small sporty roadster to enjoy around London. He ended up travelling out to Flemings Specialist Cars in Somerset to purchase this lovely Aqua Blue Metallic example and has covered a mere ~7,000 miles over his 5 years of ownership.

More recently, the car hasn't seen as much summer use as when he first bought the car, and so Marion feels now the time is right for someone else to enjoy this example.

Marion will be happy to answer any questions you have about the Porsche in the comments below.

Exterior

A redesign introduced newly defined fender bulges, rising above the sloping hood in a very 911-esque manner.

Wheels and Tyres

Fully equipped with 981 19" Boxster 'S' alloy wheels, the wheels look very good all around and we only noticed some curb marks to the front nearside alloy. The centre caps are showing age in places.

The wheels are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 all-around and dated 2015, showing a good amount of tread left.

Bodywork

The shut lines appear straight and tight on this Boxster, just as you would expect from the build quality of any modern Porsche. The doors, bonnet and boot all open and close cleanly and precisely. The convertible roof mechanism works well and opens very promptly which can be seen in the mechanical video.

We have taken hi-resolution images and videos of the car for you to assess the condition of the bodywork for yourselves.

Paint

Finished in a very attractive and deep 'Aqua Blue Metallic' the colour of the car looked great on our visit and pairs very well with the 'Luxor Beige' half leather interior.

Each panel presents a deep lustre along with even coverage and colour throughout. It would benefit from a deep clean, detail and polish to bring out the paint even further.

The images taken are from different angles and reflections to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. Please take the time to fully assess the condition.

Glass and Trim

The glass on this example looks great and in line with the low mileage, we didn't notice any chips, cracks, or discolouration on our visit. The window seals look good too and in line with the rest of the condition of the car, around the rear valance, you would want to apply some trim restoration.

The convertible hood appears in very good shape, a good clean would just bring it up to a high standard.

Interior

A performance-focused interior, luxuriously equipped with the latest in Porsche technology and development.

Seats and Carpets

One lovely 'Luxor Beige' half leather interior, which pairs so well with the Aqua Blue Metallic paintwork. The seats are electrically adjustable and make the cabin a very comfortable place to be. You can tell the car is optimised for a performance-focused drive.

We observed some very wear to the driver's seat bolster.

The rest of the cabin matches the rest of the car, in great condition throughout.

Dashboard

A sleek and refined dashboard, with classic Porsche styling. The instruments are working as they should, with the odometer displaying a reading of ~32,002 miles on our visit, and no warning lights displayed when the engine is running.

Please see the interior gallery for more hi-resolution images.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

A very attractive aluminium and 'Luxor Beige' leather-covered steering wheel with flappy paddles to take manual control of the PDK auto are behind the wheel.

The PDK automatic gear stick also looks in great condition.

Mechanics

Pure performance thanks to the newly developed 265bhp Porsche 2.7-litre flat-6 coupled with the desirable PDK semi-auto gearbox.

Engine and Gearbox

The Boxster hits the sweet spot between performance yet being comfortable enough to use daily. With the roof down you really get to experience the intoxicating sound of the flat-six at work, creating a gorgeous soundtrack for every trip.

We've captured a detailed mechanical video that shows the car out on the road and a view under and around the engine bay. Please take a look at the detailed media pack to see a closer view of the clean mechanics.

Suspension and Brakes

The car comes with a 'Sport' mode button within the cabin which adds throttle sensitivity and alters the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) to a more sporty setting.

Black brakes and drilled discs are clearly seen through the 19" wheels, and look in good condition.

The Drive

Marion has thoroughly enjoyed his Boxster ownership, he loves the amount of power this small roadster offers, and mentions how encouraging it is, especially with the roof down on a summers day.

Electrics and Other

Equipped with a PCM unit, Marion confirms all electrics work well as they should.

History and Paperwork

Aqua Blue Metallic over Luxor Beige is arguably the best colourway, finished with large 19" 'S' alloys - this is a very sophisticated and handsome Boxster.

A very attractive Aqua Blue Metallic Boxster coming to auction with a mileage of ~32,000 and just two former keepers registered. Marion reports this Porsche really has been taken care of mechanically since it's been on the road, by the Official Porsche Centres and specialists. Take a look below to see all the previous service work carried out.

Marion will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the car in the comments below.

The car is registered with '854 MOM' - this is a private plate and will be put on retention with an appropriate age related plate being assigned by the DVLA.

We’ve done all our usual seller checks including photo ID, V5 and also actioned a HPi check on the vehicle.

We've summarised our own view on the car based on information gained from the seller in the listing above, however, and as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in hi-resolution detail - this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time to review everything on this listing in order to make your own assessment on the vehicle's condition. Viewings are also welcomed with all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time - we just need to speak to you first and receive a valid photo ID before confirming.

If there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bid/s, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - just like a traditional auction house.
