EXTERIOR
Now the definition of a true modern classic the 997 has aged terrifically well and this low mileage example is in quite exceptional condition. The Basalt black metallic presents beautifully with the colour concept changing with different exposure to light. Studio, Sun and Showroom provide a trio of different aspects to the car’s appearance – enhancing the proportions perfectly. With distinctive smooth lines and oval bi-xenon headlights, this is classic 911 but with the more aggressive Turbo angles; from a modified front end, wide wheel arches and the rear featuring a redesigned wing spoiler and bumper.

Typical areas such as lights, mirrors and rear arches showing almost no signs of use. Trim and plastics are also in fine condition with no scratches or crazing, along with all the other glass, windows and light fittings.

INTERIOR
The 997 maintains that perfect Porsche balance of style and substance with a cabin swathed in leather and graced with plenty of tech. The adaptive sports seats retain excellent integrity and show no abnormal signs of wear with stitching and contour in fine condition. Switchgear can often fall foul of grubby fingers and sharp nails although buttons and dials read crisp and clean. The cabin here presents near perfectly with side sills, gearbox tunnel and carpets all appreciably fresh and unmarked.

Sport Chrono package plus present here offers more than a dial in the centre of the dash, it offers a more sensitive throttle map alongside altering PSM (Porsche Stability Management) via the Sport button to allow further exploration of the chassis as well as ability to allocate personal settings for up to three different ignition keys. Drivers’ memory seat and Sunroof offer further considerations for Grand Touring capability.

Being a Generation one version of the 997, Porsche currently offer a PCM+ upgrade for those looking for modern connectivity and tech with OEM styling. A worthy and fantastic addition to what is already a superb cabin.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The flat 6 is unmistakable Porsche on start up, purposeful yet civilised. The Mezger engine performs admirably with a tight, tactile gearshift and the 6 speed manual gear box is a joy to operate, pulling through the gears with perfect German precision and huge amounts of torque low down from the variable geometry turbos.

Fresh from a significant spend with OPC Bournemouth the car has not only received a Major service but has also had 2 x new radiators to ensure the car goes as well as it looks.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The hallmark 997 Turbo alloys present in excellent condition and look spectacular against the black coachwork. N2 Porsche rated Michelin Pilot Sport rubber graces all four corners with all tyres replaced in the summer of 2023.

Brakes show very well, with clean calipers and plenty of material left on both disc and pad.

HISTORY FILE
