Registration No: NK05 GSV
Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z5S736680
MOT: April 2024
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 former allied a 3.6 litre engine (rated at 321bhp/273lbft) to either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 178mph, it may have been outgunned by some of its siblings, but arguably offered the sweetest driving experience. Better built and better looking than a 996 and smaller and more agile than a 991 (or current 992), great examples of the 997 cars are becoming increasingly collectible.
Originally supplied new by Porsche Centre Newcastle on the 15th of April, 2005 and presenting in Black with a Black interior trim, this Carrera 2S displays just 42,800 miles from new and with 3 former keepers recorded on the Registration Document. In 2010, JMH Automotive investigated excessive oil consumption. Found to be deep scoring on cylinder 4, a known quirk of the 3.8 S engine, Porsche replaced the engine at 34,506 miles, in 2010, being fitted by Porsche Wilmslow. There is an invoice on file for the work, dated 16/04/2010 and to the tune of £6266.75. So, there is some 8,000 miles on the replacement engine, with the odometer reading as the full mileage for the car.
There are service stamps, in the service book, at 19,020 miles on 15/1/07, at 31,515 on 22/04/09, at 34,972 on 7/4/11, at 38,340 on 24/8/16, at 41,232 on 29/12/20, and at 42,482 11/22/22. In 2016, the major service included the rear discs. The last oil service (the last stamp in the book) was completed in November of 2022. The 911 (997) is offered with the bookpack, the original owner's wallet with handbooks and the stamped service book and there is also a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates and is also fitted with PASM (the Porsche Active Suspension Management system).
