A 2007 Porsche Boxster S with manual gearbox and full service history

The 2007 Porsche Boxster S commands immediate attention in its lustrous black finish, a colour that deepens the drama of the roadster’s purposeful silhouette. Photographed against the corrugated steel facade of Garage Dayraut’s workshop in Toulouse, the car presents the immaculate composure of a machine that has been cherished rather than merely used. The manual transmission represents an increasingly rare choice, particularly in an era when many collectors gravitated toward automatic alternatives, making this example particularly compelling for those who value the direct engagement of heel and toe driving.

Mileage sits at 70,400 kilometres, a figure that speaks to measured ownership and selective enjoyment rather than quotidian duty. The five cylinder engine produces 285 horsepower, sufficient power to animate the mid mounted layout with the responsiveness that defined the Boxster’s appeal to a generation of drivers who understood that sporting character need not depend upon extravagant capacity. The two seater configuration remains uncluttered by compromise.

Full service history accompanies the car, a documentation that carries genuine weight in the preowned specialist market. This completeness of provenance, combined with the manual gearbox and the restrained black paintwork, positions the car as a authentic artefact of early 2000s Porsche philosophy rather than a contemporary reinterpretation. The example sits within the workshop of Garage Dayraut Racing, an operation that handles restoration, maintenance, repair, sale and hire of sports cars and prestige vehicles.

Contact Cédric Bouny at Garage Dayraut on 05 61 40 40 42 to discuss the vehicle. The garage operates in Toulouse, in the Midi Pyrénées region of southwestern France.
