About this car

The first-generation 997 Carrera S brought the 3.8-litre flat-six to the junior 911 range, and paired with a six-speed manual it remains one of the more engaging ways into the model. This 2005 car is finished in Basalt Black with a full extended black leather interior and 20-inch wheels.

The M96-based engine in these cars can suffer bore scoring, and this example has had a Hartech engine rebuild at a stated cost of £15,000 to address it. It has covered 75,129 miles and has had two owners from new.

History is described as a full service record in the original book, backed by a file of receipts including the original sales invoice. The dealer lists a major service, new tyres, brakes, cross-over pipes and suspension work as planned before sale.
