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 classical 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 (or current 992), great examples of 997 manual gearbox cars are becoming increasingly collectible.

According to its accompanying Porsche build record, chassis WP0ZZZ99Z5S735258 was completed to commission number 614869 on January 14^th 2005. Finished in the classic combination of Arctic Silver with Black leather upholstery, its generous specification included: a sunroof, rear wash / wipe, six-speed manual gearbox, cruise control, Sport Chrono Package Plus, Sat Nav, BOSE stereo, 19-inch alloy wheels, Xenon headlights, hardback Sports Seats and Silver faced instruments etc. First registered as ‘TDZ 300’ on 8^th February 2005, the 911 Carrera S has had four former keepers and covered some 113,000 miles from new. Treated to regular maintenance and MOT testing, the past two years have seen the 2+2-seater benefit from a new battery, replacement starter motor / power lead, fresh brake vacuum pump (plus attention to various other braking components) and an oil / filter service not to mention four new Pirelli tyres. Described by the vendor as being in ‘very good’ (engine, manual gearbox, interior trim, paintwork, electrical equipment) or ‘excellent’ (bodywork) condition, it is anticipated that ‘HEZ 8068’ will be driven some 170 miles to Buxton. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and MOT certificate valid until November 2024. A good 997 is a joy to drive and a great way into 911 ownership.
