Quick introduction.
I'm located in York and recently acquired a MY2000 Boxster 986 2.7 with 74K miles.

Car is Ocean Blue Metallic
At some point it's been fitted with 18" "type 993" wheels, drilled front discs and the the brake callipers have been painted red to make it look like a S.

The engine sounds good and pulls really well. Suspension is surprisingly good for age/mileage, it will get refreshed but its not urgent.

According to the sketchy service history it came with it was last serviced in 2018 by Nelson Porsche in Stockton on Tees, but has not done many miles since then, I'm guessing it was hardly used during the covid lockdown.

My first jobs are an oil and filters change, the spark plug tubes on the RHS of the engine are leaking so I'm going to do these and the brake discs and pads need changing before too long.

There are other minor things that I'll do as I go along, it's a rolling project.

I try to do as much of the work myself and I'm hoping to lean lots about Boxsters.

Happy to hear from other owners in and around York.
