Model Overview
Broadly speaking, the Boxster represents Porsche at its most tasteful and understated.

History & Highlights
With an outstanding maintenance record of past and current, an excess of £8000 has been spent and invoiced in the last 5 years alone ensuring the mechanical excellence presented today. Most notably in 2025 Dove House Porsche Specialist's invoiced a significant top end overhaul of over £3000, with the replacement of all hydraulic tappets on both banks, the camshaft, water pump, drive belt and all surround gaskets and seals. The Engine was Fully Rebuilt by Ramus Porsche Specialists in 2020 (32, 553 Miles), with new bearings, chains, gasket, IMS Bearing, clutch kit and exhaust valve to refresh and practically reset the mechanical condition entirely. The current mileage reading of 59, 167 Miles puts the engine itself on a mere 26, 614 Miles, further benefitting from the top end overhaul only 372 miles ago.
