1998 Porsche Boxster | London

A 1998 Porsche Boxster, the first-generation mid-engined roadster that helped bring Porsche's fortunes back on course in the late 1990s. Its flat-six sits behind the cabin, which gives the car low, balanced proportions, and the fabric roof folds away when the sun appears. This car is finished in Pastel Yellow, in its original paint, over a black leather interior. The optional hardtop is Pastel Yellow too, so the colour carries through whether the car is shown open or closed. The 2500cc flat-six has a mechanical note that is at its best with the roof down, and the condition is excellent. It seats two. The bright yellow stands out against brick, glass and greenery, which gives advertising, fashion and editorial shoots and music videos a strong colour to work with. Its late-1990s shape suits film and TV set in the 1990s or early 2000s, and with the roof down both occupants are easy to frame. Weddings and personal hires suit it as a sunny open-top getaway car. The car is based in London.
