PLEASE NOTE: On route while being driven to the venue, the instrument binnacle became inoperative. Since this has occurred, the Targa roof and rear windscreen hatch also will not open on the buttons and are therefore thought to be a related electrical issue.

For many the ultimate ‘modern classic’, when it comes to Porsche’s iconic 911 sportscar, it is the ‘Gen 2’ version of the 997-series which is deemed one of the most desirable model generations! Announced on the Porsche website in early June 2008, the newcomer boasted revised DFI (direct fuel injection) engines that were stronger and more powerful than their predecessors plus recalibrated suspension, subtle styling tweaks, and the option of Porsche’s dual-clutch PDK transmission. Significantly smaller and lighter than its 991- and 992-series successors, the 997.2 also did without its feel-sapping electric power steering. The 997 Carrera 4S was, and still is, widely regarded as the greatest non-turbo version of the 911 with the four-wheel drive system providing the grip that ensured stable handling and predictable cornering.

Manufactured new in 2008, the Targa Carrera 4S offered, chassis ‘730367’ was registered new on the 13^th of November that year. Finished in the rare and striking colour of Nordic Gold paintwork with Black leather interior upholstery, the four-wheel drive Targa was supplied from the factory with the PDK gearbox, Carbon effect handbrake cover, twin five-spoke alloy wheels, climate control, and Porsche Stability Management. Purchased by the vendor when the Porsche was just four years old (in 2012), the 911 has had just three former keepers. Offered now having covered some 98,000 miles from new, the vendor informs that the 911 has been serviced bi-annually by specialists Porschtek in Leeds. Supplied with a current V5C document and the original book pack, the terrific performance on offer combined with reliability and build quality, narrow down the choice of sports cars on offer to the Porsche 997 and this represents a superb example.
