Introduced in 2004, the 997-series of Porsche's iconic 911 represented a significant advancement over its predecessor, the 996-series. This iteration incorporated notable technological enhancements, including a lighter and stiffer bodyshell, improved suspension and brakes, upgraded four-valve cylinder heads, and an enhanced HVAC system. In terms of design, the 997-series took a more classical approach, combining timeless styling elements with modern aesthetics. At its launch, the 997 was available in Carrera or Carrera S variants. The Carrera model featured a 3.6-litre engine producing 321bhp and 273 lb-ft of torque, mated to a choice of either a six-speed manual or a five-speed Tiptronic transmission. With impressive performance figures, including a 0-60mph time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 178mph, the 997 Carrera offered a thrilling driving experience. Furthermore, its superior build quality, refined aesthetics, and agile nature positioned it as a desirable choice, making well-preserved examples of the 997 increasingly sought after by collectors.

With a production completion date of the 2^nd of November 2005, the 997 offered was supplied new to the car-friendly climate of Japan being registered on the 22^nd of December that year by Porsche Cars Japan. Finished from the factory in the striking colour combination of Speed Yellow with Palm Green interior upholstery, the 911 was well specified from new with a battery disconnect switch, heated drivers mirror, Xenon headlights, headlight washers, rear wiper delete, three-spoke leather steering wheel, PSM, sound package, windscreen top tint, and air-conditioning from the factory. Uprated into a GT3 Evocation while residing in Japan, with GT3 wing, bumpers, wheels, and decals, the 911 reached British shores in 2017.

Acquired by the vendor in 2018 as an addition to his private collection, the Porsche has been used sparingly and has covered just 3,000 approximate miles during his ownership. Now offered with only 53,298 miles on the odometer at the time of consignment, the 911 was last serviced by Porsche Centre Bolton at 50,043 miles. Accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, owner’s handbook and UK service book, maintenance documents from Japan, preliminary import inspection, and is offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until July 2024.
