We’re not 100% confirmed on the color of this well-kept 987 Boxster S, but we believe it’s Nordic Gold Metallic. The period is correct, and there aren’t a lot of colors close to this in the Porsche Paint to Sample palette so we’re fairly safe in saying it. Whatever it is though, it’s handsome and tastefully paired with a close-to-tone interior.

Nordic Gold Metallic is perhaps best known for being a launch color on the Porsche 911 Targa (type 997). Even though that’s an exceptionally rare car, we’re guessing you’re more than likely to have seen one of those than you are to have seen Nordic Gold on an early Boxster S like this one.

Interestingly, it’s a Tiptronic. Because it’s an early 987 and not a later 987.5, this means it’s got the torque converter automatic rather than twin clutch DSG. Regardless, it’s an incredibly handsome cruiser.
