The Porsche 911 is known for being the everyday sports car with people able to use it to commute to work or take to the shops but, at the same time, enjoy a weekend drive or a cruise across Europe. With its unique rear engine, flat six drivetrain and unchanged shape since its first generation, they have been popular for good reason, for decades. The 997 generation was produced from 2004 – 2013 and was well received by both the public and motoring journalists worldwide. It has a sleek look with the headlight shape giving a nod to older generations of 911. The 997 shared just a third of its parts with the previous generation of 996 and as a result felt very different to drive. The Carrera S version like this example, had improved suspension, larger brakes and a 3. 8 flat six producing 350bhp pushing the car to 62mph in just 4. 2 seconds and the usual German speed limiter of 155mph.
Having been part of a collection for a number of years, this manual, 997 convertible, has been very well looked after and dry stored with its current owner. It also shows just two previous owners on the V5C document. The black leather interior with silver trim presents well, whilst externally the body sits in black with black roof, silver 19” lobster fork alloy wheels and the red Porsche brakes standing out behind them. The car received a complete engine rebuild in 2018 by renowned Porsche specialists Hartech to the tune of £8, 500 with a complete run down of the build included in the car’s paperwork, it has only done 3, 500 miles since. Original Porsche manuals are present, as is service history and other paperwork including parts receipts and old MOT’s.
These are fantastic cars. They sound superb, have a really nice manual gearbox and go as well as they should. Any new potential owner will not be disappointed with this example.
Estimate: £22, 000 – 24, 000
