Description
- Introduced for the 2005 model year, the 997-generation Porsche 911 marked a triumphant return to the brand's traditional design language, replacing the controversial styling of the 996 with classic oval headlights and a muscular, timeless silhouette. Among the most coveted configurations of this era is the Carrera 2S Coupe. Combining a pure rear-wheel-drive layout with the upgraded, higher-displacement 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, the 'S' variant delivered 355 bhp and a thrillingly analog driving experience, courtesy of its highly praised hydraulic steering system. Today, the 997.1 Carrera 2S is widely celebrated by enthusiasts as the perfect bridge between mechanical purity and modern usability.This beautifully presented 2006 Porsche (997) 3.8-litre Carrera 2 S Tiptronic is finished in timeless Dark Blue Metallic, perfectly complemented by a contrasting full Tan leather interior which is in very good condition. First registered on 31st January 2006, this exceptional example boasts just two owners from new. Its second keeper, a lady who purchased the vehicle in January 2008, cherished and maintained the car for the following 15 years before it was placed into dry storage for a four-year period. Having recently emerged from storage in 2023 approximately 1500 miles ago, the vehicle has just undergone an extensive mechanical recommissioning and full service at a cost exceeding £15,000 carried out by well known Porsche specialists George Edwards in Horsham, Sussex. This comprehensive work featured a complete engine rebuild to address the notorious bore scoring issue, ensuring total peace of mind for its next custodian. The mechanical overhaul also included the renewal of all water hoses, a fresh air conditioning recharge and the installation of four brand-new, age-correct Michelin tyres, all new brake pipes and a new starter motor. Accompanying the car is an exemplary service history consisting of full main dealer and specialist stamps, alongside a comprehensive file containing all service bills and MOT certificates dating back to 2008. The original factory handbooks, wallet, and spare keys are all present. Highly specified from the factory, the vehicle features 19-inch alloy wheels with crested centre caps, a factory tilt and slide sunroof, and chrome tailpipes. Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a heavily refreshed, low-owner modern classic, this 997 is ready to be enjoyed or added to any serious collection.
