The chic two-seater Boxster was unveiled in late 1996 and was the first road-going Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a Roadster. It was penned by Dutch designer Harm Lagaay, who was also primarily responsible for the 968, 993, Cayenne, 996 and Carrera GT. The Boxster sobriquet was a contraction of 'boxer-engined roadster' - the newcomer being a convertible with water-cooled flat-six engine mounted amid-ships. With the limited-edition S model, Porsche engineers increased output from the 3.2-litre engine to 264bhp, whilst the sonically tuned exhaust provided a soundtrack matching the performance. Shorter gearchange and a slightly lowered suspension set up add to the exciting mix.

Out of a total production run of 1953 Anniversary examples produced in homage to the debut of the original 550 Spyder, just 150 S 550s were built to righthand drive specification as offered here. As with the majority, MD04 BOX is finished in GT Silver Metallic with Cocoa leather and features Tiptronic transmission. Registering some 52,000 miles on its odometer, it has clearly been well cared for and comes with comprehensive history including the original wallet and book pack, invoices, expired MoTs and current MoT expiring January 2020.
