Pastel Yellow was only offered for 12 months on the Boxster, making this so much rarer than you might at first think!
It's an unusually high-spec. 986 too, boasting heated seats, traction control & cruise control, and a factory hardtop; which is included in the sale.
This listing was written from information supplied by XXXXX after meeting XXXXX the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Porsche's famous Twist wheels, paired with the Pastel Yellow paint, really work well on the iconic 986.
It's so much easier on the eye than Speed Yellow, giving the car a period look that is very much in vogue at the moment.
The wheels are immaculate, freshly refurbished Twists sporting Pirelli P-Zero tyres in excellent condition.
The new centre caps complete the crisp look.
Overall, the body is clean and useable. There's no sign of previous accident damage, and the car is HPI clear.
The car will have had paint here and there since new I'm sure. There's some bubbling starting to show on the arches, but it's hardly noticeable.
Overall, it's tidy and useable.
No issues with glass, and even the hardtop glass is in perfect order.
There are some splits in the perspex window on the folding roof, however.
This car sports the typical hardwearing Porsche interior of the era. The 996-derived switchgear makes it a familiar cabin for serial Porsche owners.
Seats and carpets are all in good order, with no damage or wear worthy of note.
The dashboard is in good condition. as most are in the UK's temperate climate.
Original and still in good order.
There's no excessive wear to the steering wheel.
The gear gaiter is perishing with age, but can easily and inexpensively be replaced if desired.
The super smooth and sweet 2.5 flat-six is the main event. It won't win many drag races, but that's not the point of this car. Having the flat-six (and its stainless exhaust!) rasping behind you on a B-Road blast is a fine way to spend a Sunday morning
Incredibly smooth and clean to the redline. It's had plenty of servicing over the years, including VarioCam maintenance.
A low mileage engine that should have tens of thousands of trouble free miles ahead of it.
The car is on brand new brakes, and plenty of suspension upkeep has been undertaken.
It's as tight and planted as you'd expect.
It also comes with a replacement set of H&R springs (never fitted).
Linear power from the engine, crisp gear changes, and total reliability are probably the best way to describe this car.
It's a charming and properly engaging car to own and drive.
All electrics are working, including the optional traction control, power hood, heated seats, cruise control, and Bluetooth stereo.
The car comes with plenty of history - stamped up book and invoices (see pictures). It's a very well maintained example
The private plate, G26 CUP, is included in sale.

From Trade Classics:
This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check, this check brought up that the car was a Cat D insurance write off in 1998.
Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit.
Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house.

I'M INTERESTEDAsk Questions
Hi, do you know the extent of the damage that led to the Cat D write off? Are you able to describe it (or better yet provide a photo)?
Also interested in the AC comment.
Is the air con working ok? (cold)
Thank, appreciate that! Anything in the paperwork with the mileage/date of the last service would be amazing if you have it?
Hi,
Sorry, one other question, is all the paperwork and service stamps that what’s included in the photos above, or is there more available?
Many thanks
Piers
Hi,
Just looking over the most recent MOT and wondered if you had the coolant leak inspected/repaired?
Also I’m assuming the Pirelli’s you mention that are on the car, have all been replaced since the last MOT noted them as being worn?
Lastly, can I ask why you’re selling the car after having only owned it for a couple of months?
Thanks!
Piers 🙂
Hi Piers!
The car was bought to sell, pure and simple.
The pirellis are all in great condition and are the replaced tyres yes.
The coolant leak was a slow radiator leak. It now has a brand new radiator. All the stamps are there but there may be more paperwork I’ll double check against the listing.
