Description
This 997 Carrera S was originally supplied and registered by Porsche Centre Kendal in October 2008 and has had 4 previous owners across 18 years. The most recent owner, a local Surrey business owner, kept the car for the last 10 years before we acquired it directly. It is HPI clear, supplied with 2 keys, original owners pack, every MOT certificate and a complete file of invoices. It has been garaged throughout the last decade and is a Porsche Club GB owned example.
Servicing is exemplary, with 12 recorded services over 74, 201 miles, carried out by Porsche main dealers and respected marque specialists including Porsche Colchester, Porsche Brooklands, GT One and HD Porsche. The most recent service was a major in February 2026 at 73, 317 miles by HD Porsche, including drive belts and wheel alignment. The average interval is just over 6, 100 miles per service, comfortably ahead of Porsche’s recommended schedule. It passed its February 2026 MOT with no advisories, and its MOT history shows only routine consumables noted when applicable.
This example benefits from over £11, 000 of factory options. The Sport Chrono Plus Package sharpens throttle response and Sport mode, transforming the character of the 3. 8-litre engine and PDK gearbox. Adaptive Sports Seats in Natural Leather provide enhanced lateral support with electric adjustment and heating. The PASM Sport Suspension Package lowers the car by 10mm for a more focused stance and improved body control. The 19-inch Carrera Classic wheels, full-colour Porsche crests and metallic paint complete the exterior. Further options include cruise control, rear Park Assist, navigation module, Bluetooth telephone module, universal audio interface, TV tuner and electric slide/ tilt sunroof.
Mechanically, it stands apart. A brand new PDK gearbox was supplied and fitted by Porsche Brooklands at circa 50, 000 miles. At 60, 000 miles GT One carried out a cooling system overhaul and undersealing. The sunroof seal was replaced at 62, 000 miles. At 68, 000 miles the water pump and drive belts were renewed and the car undersealed again. Suspension components were refreshed at 69, 000 miles. At 73, 000 miles HD Porsche replaced tyres, brake lines and further suspension components. Front and rear discs and pads were replaced around 50, 000 miles. A full mechanical inspection by HD Porsche in February 2026 confirmed no oil leaks, smooth gear engagement, clean start-up with no smoke and steering, suspension and bearings in good to excellent order.
In 2025 the car was professionally detailed and ceramic coated. It is fitted with a Cobra tracker and immobiliser, and has pre-installed wiring for dashcams for simple plug-and-play use.
A well specified, correctly maintained 997. 1 Carrera S with major mechanical investment already addressed, long-term ownership and a fully documented history. Please contact us to discuss the vehicle or arrange a viewing.
