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.

Finished in the handsome combination of Aluminium Silver with Metropole Blue leather upholstery, ‘CN56 NYG’ was also specified with a sunroof, cruise control, Sat Nav, upgraded BOSE stereo and electric / memory front seats. Supplied new by Porsche Centre Cardiff, the 997 is warranted to have covered just 48,900 miles from new and to have been main dealer serviced up until 37,780 miles. Thereafter, it has been looked after by various specialists. Acquired by its last registered keeper in February 2014, the past 6,000 miles have seen the Coupe treated to a new brake boost vacuum tandem pump, Sachs clutch, rear main seal, air-conditioning condensers, front brake discs, coolant / AC hard lines and timing chain tensioner sealing washers etc. Last serviced by Octane Garage of Crowborough during December 2021 at 48,768 miles (including fresh brake fluid and spark plugs), the 2+2-seater started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Able to outrun and outhandle 1980s supercars like the Ferrari Testarossa or Lamborghini Countach yet tractable enough to trundle to Tesco, the Porsche 997 is for many the definition of a modern classic. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack and history file, this smart, low mileage, manual gearbox 3.8 S example has much to recommend it.
