The sixth generation of the Porsche 911 was dubbed the 997 and introduced in 2005. It retained the previous model's basic profile but drew on the 993 for detailing. In addition, the new headlights reverted to the original bug-eye design. The interior was similarly revised, with strong links to the earlier 911 interiors while at the same time looking fresh and modern. Initially, two versions of the 997 were introduced, the rear-wheel-drive Carrera and Carrera S. In late 2005, Porsche introduced the four-wheel drive versions of the 997, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S which were announced as 2006 models. The 997 remains a worthy model of one of the most celebrated sports cars ever produced and also received a vast amount of positive reviews from the worldwide motoring press, with Jeremy Clarkson, a known detractor of Porsche cars, noting that the 997 will "make love to your fingertips and stir your soul”.

This example was purchased brand new by our vendor in 2007 and used initially for gentle commuting miles and then latterly only as an occasional weekend car. The car was used so gently in fact, that the brake pads all round are original, the front pads have around 9mm and the rears have 10mm left. The brake discs all round look almost unused, with no lip on the edges to note. The front tyres are even the originals, whilst these may be due for replacement due to age, this certainly shows the car has only covered very gentle miles as even after 21,584 miles, they still have a good amount of tread left on them. The rear tyres were replaced at 18,000 miles. This Carrera S was originally specified in Basalt Black, which gleams, with black leather interior, sports seats, Tiptronic gearbox, PCM, BOSE sound system, heated seats, rear wiper, multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, rear parking assistance, self-dimming mirrors and various other options. The history file is particularly comprehensive, containing all the books and manuals which were supplied with the car, including a hardback book about the 997, many bills and invoices, original purchase invoice and V5C registration document showing zero former keepers. The service book contains twelve stamps, all from Porsche main dealers, the most recent in November 2023, around 60 miles ago, an inspection video was produced at the time and can be forwarded to potential buyers upon request. This example is ideal for the collector who wants a cherished 997 which has been cared for by a single owner from day one or would be ideal for those looking for a modern classic to put into daily use, it ticks all the boxes.
