2006 PORSCHE 911 (997) CARRERA 4S CABRIOLET

KEY FACTS

• A superbly presented and low-mileage example of the Carrera 4S Cabriolet, in an understated colour scheme.
• Under the engine cover is a 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, producing 355bhp, delivered to all four wheels through a five-speed Tiptronic transmission.
• Specified with desirable factory-fitted options, this 997 has been fastidiously maintained, and has been with its current owner for eight years.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Its specification list includes: 19-inch ‘Turbo’ alloy wheels, the Sport Chrono package, PCM with satellite navigation and telephone module, sports exhaust, heated adaptive sport seats with memory, rear parking sensors, wind deflector, Bose sound system, automatically dimming rear view mirror and wing mirrors, and a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel.
• There are no modifications fitted.
• Included in the sale is the original owner’s manual and service books, various invoices, and two keys plus a third valet key.
• The cherished plate ‘ST06 EDY’ shown in the photographs is not included in the sale, and the car will revert to its original registration of EU56 DWL.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• The Arctic Silver paintwork is in very good condition, and is believed to be original. There is a small stone chip on the bonnet that has been touched in, and a few other minor chips around the vehicle, including on the driver’s side rear wheel arch and on the front bumper.
• The original black leather interior presents very well, with only some minor creasing to the seat bolsters and some small marks on the steering wheel. There is also some wear to the passenger seat upright bolster, and slight marking on the glovebox door.
• There are no known faults or warning lights illuminated, save for an intermittent brake pedal switch issue. However, the switch was replaced at the last service in 2019.
• The most recent MOT test was in September 2020 at 28,013 miles, when the car passed on its first attempt, as it has with every MOT test it has undertaken.
• The owner states that it will have a fresh MOT test in early September in readiness for handover to the new owner.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The car was serviced most recently in April 2021 by Porsche specialist RPM Technik at 28,160 miles, who carried out an engine-out replacement of the engine seals, IMS cover and oil separator pot.
• Prior to this, in October 2019 at 27,589 miles, RPM Technik replaced the rear lower arms, manifold, brake pedal switch and lambda sensor, and carried out a full geometry alignment.
• In August 2019 at 27,414 miles, RPM Technik performed a major service on the vehicle, including spark plug, coil pack, brake fluid and drive belt replacements.
