hi kk2002

selling is certainly an option. Having owned many sports cars and speciall interest cars over the years, from vintage to modern, sensible decisions wthen it comes to cars are not my Forte.

I owned a 1997 MGF and a Caterham Super Seven a few tears back both fitted with the same Rover K Series engines (also in the early Elise ) these engines are renown for head gasket failure and it happened to me on both of my cars at different times, I still really liked them, however.

The difference with the Boxster is apparently failure is without warning and expensive to fix whereas on both my K Series engines there was warning in the form o obvious coolant leak from the head gasket and relatively cheap to fix.

In many respects the Boxster is the best all round useable sports car I have owned apart from the spectre of the IMS ( an unforgivable fault in a car from a manufacturer with such a fine history.)

Cheers Alan
