PORSCHE 911 (991. 1) CARRERA S COUPE | GUARDS RED | 38, 000 MILES
Is there anything more quintessentially Porsche than a Guards Red 911? This beautiful 991. 1 Carrera S Coupe, finished in iconic Guards Red with Black Leather, PDK transmission and just 38, 000 miles, is a particularly lovely example of Porsche's wonderful naturally aspirated 3. 8-litre 911. Just three former keepers, an exceptional maintenance history with all bar one service undertaken by Official Porsche Centres, and an extraordinary provenance file. A complete new Porsche exhaust system costing some £4, 000 and, most recently, new brake discs and pads ALL ROUND! A genuinely cherished Porsche, and precisely the sort of example we love to find.
There are certainly no shortages of 991-generation 911s in the marketplace. But finding genuinely lovely examples, with the right ownership, outstanding maintenance records and the sort of history file that tells the story of a car's life? Well, that's another matter entirely.
And this particular Carrera S has a rather lovely story.
Its most recent custodian was an older gentleman and Porsche Club enthusiast who quite simply adored his 911. This wasn't merely another sports car sitting on the driveway. It was his pride and joy, lovingly maintained and enjoyed by somebody who understood exactly what he owned.
The accompanying provenance file is quite exceptional, documenting years of careful maintenance and considerable expenditure. The replacement Porsche exhaust system, at approximately £4, 000, and recently renewed brake discs and pads on all four corners speak volumes. This is precisely the sort of investment that distinguishes a genuinely cherished Porsche from one merely maintained when necessary.
And what a colour combination! Guards Red is arguably the most instantly recognisable Porsche colour of them all. Paired with Black Leather, contrasting red-stitched carpet mats and beautiful 20-inch Carrera S wheels, it's a timeless specification. PASM and 14-way Electric Sports Seats further enhance an already wonderful package.
Beneath that beautiful bodywork sits Porsche's glorious naturally aspirated 3. 8-litre flat-six, delivering the character, soundtrack and performance that make the 991. 1 Carrera S such a rewarding 911 to own.
At 2911, we see an enormous number of Porsche examples, but the genuinely cherished ones are always worth celebrating.
This beautiful Guards Red Carrera S is one of them.
