Registration No: SM07 GWL
Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z7S725460
MOT: October 2023
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.
Manufactured in 2007, the 911 offered was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 5th of May that year. Fitted with the 3824cc flat-six naturally-aspirated engine allied to the five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the Porsche is finished triple Black with Black paintwork, Black leather interior upholstery, and Black alloy wheels. ‘SM07 GWL’ has covered some 92,000 miles from new and has had only four former keepers, resided in current registered ownership since 2013. Specified from new with optional extras including PCM navigation module, sports exhaust system, Park Assist, electric sports seats, and stainless steel entry guards, the 911 is rated as ‘good’ throughout by the vendor.
Subject to some £4,470 worth of expenditure with SP Autobahn in 2020, the work completed included replacement tailpipes and silencers, engine mounts, front and rear brake discs and pads (as well as wear sensors) and servicing. Offered with a stamped service book which displays eleven entries (all present from Porsche main agents and specialists) as well as three brake fluid changes, the 911 is offered with an MOT certificate until October 2023. Also accompanied by a current V5C document, a collection of invoices (many of which are from SP Autobahn), some previous MOT certificates and a driver’s manual.
