BARN find rescue ABANDONED Porsche 986 Boxster S

From forgotten relic to roaring flat-six — can we save this true Porsche barn find?
This 986 Boxster S has been sitting untouched in a dusty barn for over 3 years, racking up nothing but cobwebs. Just 48,000 miles on the clock, but with no MOT, no service history in years, and a stubborn refusal to start… the odds weren’t looking good.
In this episode, the Porsche Mode team set out to bring this abandoned sports car back to life. We’ll dig into its mysterious past, give it a long-overdue deep clean, diagnose the faults, replace key components, and — if all goes to plan — fire it up for the first time in years.

From fuel pump replacement to uncovering common 986 Boxster issues, this is the ultimate rescue mission for a future classic. Can we get this mid-engined icon back on the road?

Watch to the end to see if the barn find Boxster lives again.
