About this car

This 997.2 Carrera S is specified the way many enthusiasts would choose it: a manual gearbox, a limited-slip differential, the M030 sports suspension package, Sports Chrono Plus and the switchable sports exhaust. It is a coupe without a sunroof or rear wiper, and it has sports hard-backed seats, which keep weight down and hold you in place.

It is finished in Gloss Black over black leather, with Sport Design alloy wheels. Other options include heated front seats, a Bose sound system, Park Distance Control and Xenon Plus headlights with dynamic cornering.

It was first registered in October 2008 and has covered 53,690 miles, with three former keepers. The service history is complete, split between Porsche main dealers and an independent specialist, with nine stamps recorded from 2008 to 2024. Over the last two and a half years more than £8,500 has been spent on maintenance, including new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, rear lower control arms, new brake discs and pads, and exhaust heat shield work. The car is advertised with 12 months' MOT and a clear HPI check.

Porsche 911 buying guide

The Porsche 911 has been in production since 1964 and has kept the same basic layout throughout: a flat-six engine mounted behind the rear axle, two seats up front and two small ones behind. The range runs from the everyday Carrera and Targa to the four-wheel-drive Turbo and the track-focused GT3 and GT3 RS. Buyers choose it because it works as a daily car, is well built and has a large network of independent specialists.
