• High specification 997 Carrera S Cabriolet with desirable manual gearbox
• Only 45,956 miles from new with 3 former keepers
• Subject to major service including Borescope inspection in July 2021, confirming no issues

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.

Manufactured in 2005 and presented in Basalt Black Metallic with matching Black leather interior, this desirable manual Carrera S Cabriolet shows just 45,956 miles from new with only 3 former keepers. Benefitting from a very high factory specification including Porsche Active Suspension Management with Electronic Damper Control, Porsche Stability Management, sports exhaust system, park distance control, xenon lighting system with headlamp washers, electric and heated mirrors, Porsche Communication Management 2 (with PCM 3 basic module and telephone) with CD autochanger, Euro navigation, BOSE sound system, heated hardback sports seats with seatbelts in Guards Red and Silver instrument dials, this presents a fantastic opportunity for any Porsche enthusiast looking for a high specification vehicle.

Not only does ‘HF05 GXW’ have a high specification, but the car has also benefited from a borescope inspection along with major service in July 2021, which came back all clear. More recently between October and November 2021, the car has benefited from a number of works to bring it to standard, including replacement switches for AC controls, a Dansk exhaust system with tailpipes, replacement wheel bolts with turbo 2 design wheel centre caps and the roof module repaired and calibrated. The cost of these works totalled over £2,400.

Accompanied with the vehicle is its original leather bookpack containing Porsche assistance booklet, 911 pricelist, Porsche dealer directory, 2 Porsche Warranty booklets, PCM booklet, Porsche assistance booklet, Porsche Centre booklet. Please note there is no Service booklet, however, Porsche have confirmed the car is on record for being serviced on 11/10/2016 at 38,876 miles including brake fluid and a belt change, which is supported by an invoice in the history file. In addition, a major service on 04/04/2019 at 44,564 miles including brake fluid and an air filter and with an independent garage, the major service mentioned above in July 2021 at 45,687 miles including drivebelt, air, oil and pollen filters, spark plugs and fluids. In addition, here, a replacement Bosch battery was fitted. There is a small collection of previous receipts and invoices, as well as the V5C document which displays 3 former keepers.
