HISTORY/DOCUMENTATION
This beautifully finished Porsche was registered on 19 May 2008 by Porsche Zentrum Niederbayern in Plattling, Germany. On 30 September 2008, it was delivered to its first Dutch owner. In 2013, it came into the possession of the second and current owner, who has treated and maintained the car with passion and care. Servicing has been carried out at the Porsche dealer and specialist. The mileage is just 47,303 km. All documentation and booklets have been carefully preserved, including the service history, the delivery/warranty booklet and original manuals (in both German and Dutch). These are neatly stored in the black leather dashboard folder. Checklists, MOT forms and two keys are also included with the car. The condition of the car shows that it has only been used for leisure drives.

EXTERIOR
The Porsche was originally delivered in a rare, distinctive and very attractive combination: the tasteful Ruby Red Metallic (Rubinrot Metallic, colour code L8A7). This colour carried an additional charge at the time, as did the 19-inch Carrera S wheels, better known as 911 wheels. The wheels are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres all round. The exterior is in good condition with only slight signs of wear, but no significant damage. The car is in its original, accident-free condition and shows no signs of stone chips. The lights and windows are still fresh, and the black soft top is still in good condition with no unsightly creases or signs of wear. The rear window is heated. The roll bar is originally painted in the body colour. An electrically operated spoiler is fitted at the rear.

INTERIOR
The interior is finished in black and remains in a neat condition. No corners have been cut on the options, ensuring the Porsche offers a high level of comfort. Features include a BOSE audio system with CD changer, navigation system, climate control, heated seats and leather sports seats bearing the Porsche logo in the headrests. The neat Porsche floor mats are still in place and are in good condition. The integrated Porsche umbrella is also still tucked away on the passenger side. The three-spoke sports steering wheel is finished in aluminium. The convertible top is electrically operated and functions properly. Thanks to the mid-engine layout, the car has a relatively large amount of luggage space at both the front and rear. These boot areas are also in good condition.

TECHNICAL
Over the years, the Porsche has been excellently maintained by Porsche Centre Groningen and a Porsche specialist. A service has been carried out almost every year. This maintenance is well documented in the stamped service booklet and in the service invoices. The last service was carried out in 2025 at a mileage of 46,671 km. The 2,687 cc 6-cylinder boxer engine is positioned in the centre of the car, ensuring excellent weight distribution. This engine delivers 245 hp and accelerates the car to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds. The car drives, changes gear and brakes well.

GENERAL
The Porsche 987 is the internal model designation for the second generation of the Porsche Boxster. This model was first unveiled at the 2004 Paris Motor Show, alongside the Porsche 911 (997), and went on sale in 2005.
In the same year, the range was expanded with the Porsche Cayman, a fastback coupé based on the same mid-engine platform as the Boxster. Both models shared many components, including body parts such as the doors, headlights and parts of the interior. In 2012, the 987 generation was succeeded by the Porsche 981.

The first version of this generation, the Boxster 987.1, built on its predecessor (the 986) but received a number of clear visual and technical improvements. One of the most striking changes was the design of the headlights, which was heavily inspired by the Porsche Carrera GT. In addition, the air intakes on the sides were enlarged and fitted with striking horizontal slats in metallic silver. The wheel arches were also enlarged, allowing for wheels up to 19 inches in diameter — a first for the Boxster.
The interior was given a more modern look with a more pronounced circular design, evident in features such as the instrument panel and the air vents. According to Porsche, around 80% of the components were updated compared to the previous generation, which significantly improved the 987’s technical specifications. In terms of powertrain, the standard Boxster featured a 2.7-litre six-cylinder boxer engine producing around 236 hp. The more powerful Boxster S was fitted with a 3.2-litre engine producing around 276 hp. For the 2007 model year, the base version was further enhanced with the VarioCam Plus variable valve timing system, resulting in a slight increase in power to around 245 hp.
The Porsche 987 is known as a significant evolution within the Boxster range, with the model taking a clear step forward in terms of both performance and quality, whilst retaining the character of a lightweight, balanced roadster.
