2001 Boxster S with a 5-spd?

And what colour is the Instrument dial background? Black is base and white is S.

Base has a lower top speed from memory but I can't remember what they are in miles.

Careful. My base has a white gauge cluster. Either it was an option or someone swapped it out on mine.

Very valid point. I didn't consider the possibility it was an option (or could have been swapped) !

Iceman, Door sills will say "Boxster S", "batwing" console emblem will be "Boxster S", Brake disks will be larger and drilled along with red calipers. A lot of those things could be changed to deceive, but some changes could be innocent owner up-grades to a base model. Unless someone has access to free or reasonably priced used S model parts, it is unlikely they went through the trouble/cost of adding these. Why would they? Evil intent comes to mind. LOL. Emblem parts are easy to buy and add. If a previous owner added an "S" to the trunk without replacing the "Boxster" script, it would be slightly off location. Good luck and enjoy your car. If it has a 3.2 and six speed manual with the S model brakes it won't matter while your driving it.

White dials were an option on the 2.5 when new (as were a lot of other options available
as standard on the S) so not necessarily a good indication.
