Highlights
• Excellent service history
• Good condition throughout
• Fully loaded specification including Sport Chrono Package Plus
The Appeal
The 997 Carrera 4 S Cabriolet has got to be one of the more desirable Porsche 911 models from recent years. It has the 3.8 litre engine so there’s plenty of legendary Porsche performance available and the wide-bodied look, with the up-rated brakes and suspension and the added security of permanent all-wheel-drive makes this one hell of a driver’s car, especially with the Sport Chrono Package Plus option, which allows you to change the driving characteristics of the car to suit your mood and road conditions.
A totally useable and practical everyday supercar, what more could any Porsche or motoring enthusiast wish for?
The History and Paperwork
• First registered in 2006
• Excellent service history
• MOT expires 11.10.2022
• V5c present
• Only 2 owners from new
• 2 sets of keys
• Original owner’s manuals and service book
There’s a well stamped up Porsche service book, which is always an important thing to have with a 911, and the overall good condition and high specification of this example will make it a very popular auction listing.
Only up for grabs as the current owner isn’t getting the time to use the car more this should prove a great opportunity to own one of the world’s best cars ever.
The Interior
• Nice black leather interior
• Air conditioning
• Electric heated memory and adaptive sports seats
• Apple Play audio interface with CD auto-changer
• Bose surround system
• Rear parking sensors
The black leather interior has some signs of use commensurate with age and mileage but, being a Porsche 911 interior, it has fared very well and still is a great place to be sitting.
Some of the switchgear show signs of use, the ashtray is missing the lid and insert, and there are a few scratches and scuffs to be found, but the integrity and presentation of the interior is still good overall.
The electric cabriolet hood opens and closes nice and smoothly and sits well when either up or down, and some leather treatment to the driver’s seat bolster will certainly smarten the seat up a lot.
The Exterior
• Atlas Grey paintwork
• Black hood
• 19” Carrera Classic wheels with wheel centre set
• De-badged
• Windscreen with grey top-tint
The Atlas Grey paintwork is in good overall condition but does have quite a lot of light scratches around the bodywork, which a good machine polish will probably help to remove, as none of them are deep scratches.
The original wheels are in great condition, all fitted with good tyres, and the black hood is in good overall condition with no marks, rips, tears or loose stitching.
The Mechanics
• Excellent service history
• Regularly serviced and used
• Sports exhaust system
• Sport Chrono Package Plus
A nicely cared for and well-maintained example of the legendary Porsche 911, with an excellent service record and no reported faults.
Last serviced at the end of 2021, around 1,000 miles ago, at which time the Oil/Air/Separator was also replaced to address a minor oil leak.
The Summary
Only two owners and a full service history should be enough to get bidders excited about this 911, but when you add the 3.8 engine with Tiptronic gearbox and the Sport Chrono Package Plus option to quickly change the characteristics of the car in terms of throttle response and suspension settings to make the car feel livelier, an example like this one with the all-wheel-drive and in very flattering colours is likely to make the lucky winner of the auction very happy indeed.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
