2006 PORSCHE 911 (997) CARRERA

KEY FACTS

• A well-specified and well-presented example of an acclaimed sports car, ready to enjoy.
• This 911 Carrera is powered by a 321bhp 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, which drives the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
• It comes with a comprehensive maintenance history, looked after exclusively by Jasmine Porschaink for the last 11 years.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 911 has been generously equipped from factory with 19-inch ‘Lobster Claw’ alloy wheels - now shod in Pirelli P Zero N2 tyres - the BOSE sound system, and Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with satellite navigation.
• The metallic Lapis Blue paintwork is complemented by the dark blue interior with electrically adjustable front seats.
• Included with the car is the original owner’s handbook with a stamped service record accompanied by an extensive library of invoices and two sets of keys.

CONDITION

• No known body damage.
• The vendor has noted that there are some minor stone chips to the Lapis Blue paintwork indicative of the vehicle’s age.
• The 19-inch alloy wheels are clear of any obvious kerbing marks; however, there is some discolouration to the Porsche emblem centre caps.
• Inside, the blue interior is in good condition with some minor creasing and very slight wear to the driver’s seat outer bolsters, and some surface wear to the steering wheel rim. The front passenger seat and rear seats are in superb order, having evidently seen little use.
• As is common in the 997 generation, the coating on the PCM control knobs has started to deteriorate slightly.
• The electronics are all in good working order with no known faults.
• The last MOT was carried out on 9 February 2021 at 75,453 miles, which resulted in a pass after an exhaust leak was rectified and a rear coil spring was replaced. Advisories included a non-excessive oil leak, some corrosion on the brake pipes, and some play in the offside front steering rack joints.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This 911 has been well maintained and serviced regularly regardless of mileage and has 13 stamps in the book.
• The last service carried out was on 23 August 2021 at 76,179 miles where the drive belt and brake fluid were replaced along with a minor inspection.
