It's easy to get caught up in the minutiae of 911 folklore, but all you really need to know is that a 997.2 is very good news. That decimal point is important, signifying a new engine with direct fuel injection, revised suspension, a new gearbox, new exhaust and a whole host of other enhancements over the original 997 - already a brilliant 911 in its own right.
This 2009 example is a four-wheel-drive Carrera 4S Convertible with Porsche's lightning-quick PDK automatic gearbox. The vendor tells us:
"I've only had the car since May 2024, (only selling to upgrade). It has full history (Porsche and specialist) and £10,530.00 of optional extras - I have the print-out".
As the photographs attest, it's a lovely example with great specifications; we particularly like those wheels. The service book has thirteen stamps and a healthy number of accompanying invoices. Recent work includes a full service with a PDK oil change, new front brakes, and replacement of front wishbones and trailing arms. The car comes with advisory-free MOT until October 2025 and is reportedly ready to enjoy.
