Description
You are looking at a very unique and exclusive opportunity to own an unrepeatably special Porsche.
This manual, rear-wheel-drive Porsche 911-Carrera Coupe in Meteor Grey with black leather now shows just 19, 000 miles from new and has enjoyed an exceptionally simple and cherished life. Originally acquired 18 months ago from its one and only lady owner at 18, 000 miles we had the privilege of placing it with a Porsche enthusiast gent who treated it with the care and respect you would hope for but due to his age used it sparingly. I have now been fortunate enough to buy it back with only around 500 additional miles — a rare full-circle moment with a truly special car.
It comes with full Porsche main dealer service history from new, and as you would imagine, this is as close to “new ownership” of a 997 Carrera as you could realistically hope to find today. The love and care lavished on this car speaks directly to the condition you see here.
For total peace of mind, the car benefitted from a major Porsche service when we first had it including drive belt, brand-new correct Michelin tyres all round, new brake discs and pads, new brake fluid, and the very well-known (and expensive) crossover pipes replaced as a preventative measure to ensure the cooling system is performing perfectly. In addition to this, the car will be supplied with a fresh Porsche service for its next owner.
If you are familiar with these cars, you will know that those of us who commentate on Porsches for a living often herald the 3. 6 manual rear-wheel-drive Carrera as the ultimate modern-classic driving 911 of all time. They rev more freely than the heavier later cars and deliver a beautifully smooth, accessible torque curve that has to be experienced to be truly appreciated — leaving you with that unmistakable feeling of effortless performance.
This is a Porsche in its most purist form. Whether you are looking to add this to a collection, enjoy on high days and holidays, or even use as a special daily driver, low-owner, low-mileage manual 997s like this are becoming increasingly hard to find. Prices for the very best examples continue to firm, making this a very sensible and considered purchase for its next custodian.
Ready to be loved and enjoyed once again.
