Highlights

ES Motorsport ES700 package delivering 700bhp
£15,000 worth of work in the last 18 months
Mostly unmodified aesthetics with original interior
MOT to April 2025 with no advisories
Low mileage and carefully maintained car

The Appeal

This may look like a standard 997.1 Turbo. It isn’t. Not by a long way. That is thanks to an ES Motorsport ES700 upgrade that hikes power way beyond factory standard. To 700bhp in fact.

This catapults an already capable coupe into supercar territory. Fortunately it has been lavishly maintained to match the upgrades, including £15,000 invested in the last 18 months alone.

Thanks to the quality of that ES Motorsport work and the 997 underpinnings, this car is as much grand tourer as pointed B road banzai.

The condition speaks to the low mileage, handful of keepers and extensive maintenance. A long MOT with no advisories to April 2025 adds reinforcement. This is a one-off 997.1 that is at home on a long road trip as a short back road blast.
