Introduced in 2004, the 997-series of Porsche’s iconic 911 allied all the technological improvements of its 996-series predecessor – a lighter / stiffer bodyshell, better suspension / brakes, four-valve cylinder heads and a superior HVAC system – to more classic styling. Available in Carrera or Carrera S guises when launched, the latter boasted a more powerful 3.8-litre engine (rated at 350bhp/295lbft), sports exhaust, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and 19-inch wheels as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 182mph, it soon became a driver’s favourite. Better built and better looking than a 996 and smaller and more agile than a 991, examples of 997 cars are becoming increasingly collectible.
This Gen 1 997 in desirable Carrara 4S guise with Tiptronic transmission has covered c.103,000 miles from new. Finished in Basalt Black with a Cocoa leather interior, it is offered with Swansea V5c, owners wallet, handbooks and service book. In 2022 the car was subject of a Category S insurance incident (damaged but repairable) which the insurers decided not to repair, however, we are advised the necessary work was completed at Wisbech MOT Centre by a Porsche specialist at a cost of c.£6,000. Photographic evidence of these repairs is shown in the images.
