Registration No: EX08 VKG
Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z8S771607
MOT: May 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 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 the 997 are becoming increasingly collectible.
Supplied new via the Porsche Centre Colchester, chassis 771607 was finished in Basalt Black Metallic with Black full leather upholstery and a Black soft-top. Riding on 19-inch Sport Design alloy wheels, its impressive specification also encompassed Tiptronic S transmission, DVD Navigation package for Europe, cruise control, air-conditioning and heated front seats. Predominantly main dealer maintained, the accompanying service book carries stamps at 8,268, 15,351, 22,924, 28,859, 36,346, 40,008 and 44,275 miles. Subject to a 111 point check when sold to S. Grayden Esq as an Approved Pre-Owned Porsche at 28,859 miles, ‘EX08 VKG’ was treated to a new windscreen, door window seals, full wheel alignment, major service and replacement brake discs / pads all round prior to delivery. Acquired by its last registered keeper on 23rd March 2021, the associated two-year warranty has not long expired. Passing its last MOT test on May 12th, 2023 with no advisories, this notably sharp, low mileage 997 C2S Cabriolet is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, assorted invoices and Porsche presentation box.
