Why it appeals
Enthusiasts are still debating the “best” water-cooled 911, but a consensus is forming when it comes to the “sweet spot” for everyday use: the 997-generation Carrera S. This S model uses a 3.8-litre flat-six making 355 hp, paired with a sharper chassis, more precise steering and upgraded braking—delivering a particularly strong balance between performance and everyday versatility.
The 997 also brings back more classic 911 visual cues, notably its oval headlights, along with a modernised interior that boosts perceived quality. This first Carrera S combines several highly desirable features: the 6-speed manual gearbox and the “double black” configuration, which remains very popular with fans.
The car presented here is in very good overall condition, inside and out, supported by sensible mileage. The service booklet shows regular servicing with specialist centres, with the most recent service carried out at 104 045 km—around 1,500 km ago. The front discs and pads were replaced approximately 2,000 km ago, as were recently changed front tyres fitted with new Pirellis. The roadworthy inspection is valid until June 2026.
Well maintained and correctly equipped, this Carrera S comes across as a ready-to-drive, ready-to-enjoy example.
