2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S

A single-owner 991.1 Carrera S in Basalt Black Metallic over black leather, covering just 32,476 miles from new — well below average for a 2012 car. The Sport Chrono Package Plus and PDK combination represents the sweet spot of the 991.1 range, offering the sharper throttle response and dynamic engine mounts that transform the driving experience over a standard Carrera S. The 14-way electric sport seats, Sport Design steering wheel, and white instrument dials add welcome touches to the cabin.

The options list runs to over £5,700 from new and includes several desirable items: 20-inch SportDesign wheels, heated seats, and the Porsche Crest embossed headrests. A full service history with six stamps — four from Porsche Centres and two from Porsche specialists — provides a clean maintenance record through to December 2024 at 30,920 miles.

As a one-owner car with documented history, all books and manuals present, and sensible mileage, this 991.1 Carrera S checks the key boxes for collectors and enthusiasts looking at the first generation of the water-cooled 991 platform before values firm further.
