Desirable pre-facelift car Carrera S with reliable 9A1 engine
Recent spark plugs, ignition coils, and injection valve
Well maintained throughout life with stamped service book
Current technical inspection valid to March 2028
The Appeal
With its longer wheelbase and wider track, the 991 retained the analogue feel of previous generations while offering more surefooted handling and improved comfort. The early pre-facelift cars, like this 2013 example, are preferred because they retain the high-revving, very reliable 9A1 engine.
There are many flavours of 991, but reviewers and enthusiasts consider this car, the 400bhp Carrera S, to be the sweet spot, offering a good blend of performance and comfort suitable for real-world driving. Finished in white, this very tidy example has been properly maintained. The service book shows a run of regular work to December 2025. The vendor tells us that the last service included replacing plugs, ignition coils and injection valve. The current technical inspection runs to March 2028.
Well specified, including the lightning-quick PDK gearbox, this is a well-kept 991 that will suit enthusiasts.
The vendor says:
“The Porsche 911 Carrera S is a classic premium quality sports car with fantastic sound, driving pleasure and road holding. The look is a beautiful classic Porsche.”
