Damage disclosure
A carVertical vehicle history check shows a condition assessment from May 2022 relating to the rear of the car - well before my ownership, which began in September 2025. I have inspected the rear panels carefully and the car presents as factory/ OEM to my eye: panel gaps are consistent, no overspray is visible, and there are no paint irregularities that catch the light. I have not independently verified with a paint-depth gauge, so I would positively encourage any buyer to do their own inspection at viewing. Throughout my ownership the car has been seen by Porsche Centres and a Porsche specialist, and none have flagged any concerns relating to this.
Warranty
Porsche Approved Warranty in place until 22 December 2026, transferable to the new owner. The next 8 months of ownership are covered by Porsche themselves, subject to the standard warranty terms.

. The last of the naturally aspirated base 911s
The 991. 1 Carrera occupies a particular place in the 911 timeline: it was the final generation of the base Carrera before Porsche moved the entire range onto turbocharged 3. 0-litre engines in the 991. 2. The 3. 4-litre flat-six in this car traces its lineage directly back to the naturally aspirated 911s that defined the model's character for a generation, and once you have driven one you understand why that distinction matters. There is an honesty and an immediacy to how the engine responds - a willingness to rev that a turbocharged engine simply cannot replicate - and an engine note that climbs through the range rather than pulsing out of boost. This is the kind of car that reminds you what a naturally aspirated Porsche feels like.
How this one has been used
I have owned the car since September 2025 and it has been used exactly as a 911 of this generation deserves - daily commuter through the week, touring car at weekends and on holiday. In that time it has covered approximately 10, 000 miles under my ownership, including trips to Scotland, France, with longer loops through Europe in between. The car has handled everything I have asked of it: UK motorway, Highland switchbacks, French autoroute and German autobahn alike. It is comfortable enough to cover three-figure days without fatigue, fast enough to be interesting on the right road, and practical enough (the front boot is surprisingly generous) to use without compromise.
Specified as an enthusiast would want
When the car was originally specified new, the first owner added roughly £11, 000 of factory options — and they chose well. The 20-inch Carrera S wheels in Satin Platinum transform the stance, the electric sunroof adds a dimension of openness without the cabriolet compromises, and the Sports Seats Plus hold you properly on a cross-country run. The sports tailpipes (PSE) give the exhaust a note that deserves to be heard, and the PDLS cornering lights are genuinely useful on unlit B-roads at night. BOSE surround sound, PCM with navigation, two zone climate - the comforts are all there for when you want to cover distance rather than attack the road. It is the base Carrera specified the way most enthusiasts would have chosen if they had been the first buyer.
Why I am selling
Reluctantly. I have recently bought a Porsche 356 and I am shifting my focus toward older air-cooled classics. The 991 is a wonderful modern 911 and it deserves to be driven by someone who will use it as it is meant to be used, rather than sit as a second car competing for garage space and road time. There is nothing wrong with the car - it has been a genuinely enjoyable ownership experience, and the decision to sell is purely because the 356 project needs my attention and time.
What I hope for the next owner
I would like the car to go to someone who will use and enjoy it - an 11-year-old 911 driven regularly tends to be a happier car than one that sits. The warranty work completed under my ownership (HPFP, thermostat, exhaust brackets) means a significant chunk of the typical 991. 1 "what might need attention next" list has already been worked through, with genuine Porsche parts at Porsche's expense. The Porsche Approved Warranty runs until December 2026, so the next 8 months of ownership are covered by Porsche themselves. Buy it, drive it, and it will repay you every time you turn the key.
I am happy to answer any genuine questions, happy to put a buyer in touch with the specialists who have serviced it, and I will make the handover as smooth as possible.
