2001 Porsche Boxster 3.2 S 70th Anniversary

Registration: X124JJH Chassis: WP0ZZZ98Z1U641229 Odometer: 98,285 Transmission: Manual MOT: August 2026 One of ten 70th Anniversary models Fully restored by Porsche GB New short engine block Porsche sports exhaust Sports suspension 2018 marked the 70th anniversary of Porsche and to celebrate Porsche GB commissioned twenty special edition restorations of its most iconic models. It was an exercise not only in restoring these cars to ‘better than new’ but also demonstrating that Porsche GB had the in-house capability to restore older Porsche models. All the cars were finished in special ‘Liquid Metal’ silver metallic paint (developed for the Porsche 918 hypercar) with black interiors. They received a bare metal restoration complete with a full engine overhaul. Mixing air-cooled, water-cooled and transaxle models, the Porsche’s approach was to keep the cars as original as possible whilst adding some bespoke touches such as exclusive paint (with a subtle 70th anniversary graphic), and bespoke seat trimming in original Porsche-branded cloth. Each car also got a commemorative plaque. Of the twenty cars, ten were 986 Boxster S 3.2 models to celebrate 25 years since the original Boxster concept which appeared at the 1993 Detroit Motor Show. Some of these cars were fitted with a new ‘short engine block’. We are delighted to offer this 2001 Porsche Boxster S in Liquid Metal with black cloth interior. Selected as one of the examples to be restored to become a 70th Anniversary car, it comes with its commemorative black wallet containing paint and fabric samples and a certificate confirming the following work:- “Restoration work completed
Recondition bodywork Full re-paint in custom colour Prime, paint & polish bodywork Underbody re-waxed Interior re-fit Re-colonised interior parts Re-covered seats Full engine rebuild Recondition ancillary parts Engine fine-tuning Reconditioned and rebuilt gearbox Steering and suspension parts Reconditioned cooling system New and replacement parts
Porsche Classic Vehicle Tracking System Door trims Floor mats New key fobs Engraved commemorative plaque Front windscreen Sports exhaust system Short engine block inc. pistons and crank Sports suspension Brake pads and discs Gearbox ancillary parts inc. clutch Convertible hood Wheels and tyres” This Boxster still presents beautifully - the 918-specific paint really is a striking colour that comes alive under our saleroom lights. Most of the 70th Anniversary cars (and all the Boxsters) came with black painted wheels and this is no exception. Pleasingly, they have been kept away from kerbs and are fitted with high-quality Michelin tyres. The distinctive tailpipes signify the fitment of a Porsche sports exhaust. There is some damage to the fabric roof as you can see in the photographs. The cabin remains in lovely condition with no significant wear to any of the services. The Porsche-branded cloth on the seats is clean and undamaged. The dash has been left in original specification, complete with Becker CD-R22 stereo. The Boxster comes with V5C, 70th Anniversary leather wallet, book pack and wallet and current MOT. The replacement service book confirms that the last service was carried out by Porsche Centre Glasgow at 93,214 miles. Any 986 generation Boxster S is a fine driver’s car but one that has had a comprehensive restoration by Porsche itself must be the Holy Grail. Frankly, the work that has gone into this example vastly exceeds its value. We’ve been lucky enough to have sold a number of these 70th Anniversary models now (914, 924, 944 and another Boxster S) and they always attract a huge amount of attention. So, if this one catches your eye, don’t let it get away.
