Merry Christmas to you all. 3 months into Boxster ownership and today my wife surprised me with a Club Membership so I thought I best introduce myself and my car.
its a 2005 vintage 3.2S that I hunted down in Ascot, purchased off Peter Ratcliffe (from TVs ‘Four Rooms’ if anyone remembers it. I had looked for an ‘S’ in the right spec for a while and spotted it while sat beside the pool in Majorca while trawling Autotrader. It needed to be Seal Grey or Lapis Blue, it had to have extended leather heated Sorts seats, 19” Wheels, a Full Service History, Bose would be preferable as would the Sports Chrono, this car had it all plus the bonus of a factory sports exhaust, I arranged to view it the first available day I was back in the UK and drove it home nervously but excited, even though it had a slight oil leak (I know I probably should have walked away...) it drove lovely and I had a smile all the way back to Sheffield.
I enjoyed it for a couple of weeks and then had it into Revolution Porsche to get the oil leak sorted (turned out to be RMS seal) and while they were at it I got them to put in a new clutch. They noted a few jobs that need sorting, nothing major, the most notable was the condensers were leaking, but I’ll do that in the new year.
Since then it’s been faultless and brings a smile to my face every time I look at it, I’ve upgraded the head unit and spent a small fortune on cleaning and detailing products.
Well enough of the waffle here’s the car.
