Three (3) owners, all original paintwork which is in stunning condition with excellent gaps. Exterior factory equipment includes a rear spoiler, roll bar, wind deflector, dual exhaust, silver quarter panel intakes, and Porsche side script.

The upholstery is immaculate with Alcantara carbon sports seats. The factory 19″ lightweight wheels are in excellent condition with Hankook Ventus V12 EVO 2 tires.

Finished in Carrara White over Black Alcantara upholstery. This configuration was optioned from the factory with A/C Delete, Radio Delete, Floor Mats, Fabric Door Opening Loop, Manual Two Panel Roof, Soft Top in Black, and a 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung transmission.
The current owner purchased this Spyder in 2018 with 7,011 miles from European Collectibles. Schneider Autohaus in Santa Barbara, California performed a 10K mile maintenance which included replacing the engine oil and filter, cabin filter, installing a sealing ring, and checking all the fluids. Mechanically, the Boxster Spyder features a 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine paired to a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, which produces a 0-60 time of just 4 seconds. A true, genuine, roadster sports car destined only to appreciate, this Boxster is a great valued opportunity.
