2007 PORSCHE 911 (997.1) CARRERA 4S

This 2007 Porsche 997 Carrera 4S is a great example of one of the consummate 911 all-rounders, which is presented in excellent condition and with low mileage. Its engine is the 355bhp 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, driven through all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Finished in timeless Meteor Grey over a black leather interior, this example has covered just 39,670 miles from new.

This car has also been specified with Porsche’s Sport Chrono pack, adding the recognisable dashboard-mounted lap timer, as well as a Sport mode button, providing sharper throttle response and stiffer damping for occasions that call for more enthusiastic driving.

First registered on 25 September 2007, this Carrera 4S’ log book shows that it has had four previous registered keepers. Its current owner is now offering it for sale after four years of ownership, having enjoyed some 11,500 miles behind the wheel.

The car’s flowing bodywork with its widened rear is in excellent condition, with flush shut lines, consistent panel gaps and no recorded instances of past accident damage. While the seller notes that the paintwork has been corrected in the past, this was carried out to a high standard and the sparkling Meteor Grey finish has a smooth and glossy appearance. The car was coated in Gen-3 paint protection when the current owner took delivery of the vehicle. The only noted damage is a small chip to the paint on the driver’s door, and a light scuff is visible on the passenger door mirror.

It rides on the original factory-option 19-inch Sport Design silver multi-spoke alloy wheels, all of which are in great shape, with no signs of damage or kerb scratches. Full-colour Porsche crest centre caps are also fitted and present very well, having been recently replaced by the current owner.

In the cabin, black leather covers the front and rear seats, which are accented by white stitching. The manually adjustable front seats are also heated and are in good condition, displaying only minor wear and creasing in line with the car’s age and low mileage. The seller also notes that there are some general scuffs to the door sill rubber.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob appear to be well cared-for, while the silver interior trim is in good shape. All of the buttons, switches and electrical items including the dual-zone climate control system function correctly, however there is some common wear to the temperature and fan speed rocker switches. This 997 is also fitted with a tilt-and-slide sunroof, six-disc CD changer, upgraded Bose sound system, rear wiper and rear parking sensors.

Its last scheduled maintenance was in October 2018 at 37,859 miles by independent specialist Porsche Torque of Uxbridge. As a minor service, this included the replacement of the oil and filter, and a drive belt check. Prior services were carried out in September 2017 at 32,065 miles, which was another minor service, while a major service including a spark plug change was carried out in July 2017 at 29,377 miles.

The auxiliary drive belt was replaced in August 2018, while other maintenance carried out during the seller’s ownership has included replacement of the water pump, coolant hoses and pipes, and the fitting of new brake discs and pads all round when he purchased the car. The battery has also been replaced with a Bosch unit.

Its last annual MOT test was carried out on 9 March 2020 at 39,451 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. The wheels are shod with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tyres in size 235/35 ZR 19 on the front and 305/30 ZR19 on the rear. The front tyres are described by the seller as being in good condition, while the rears are even better, having been fitted just 4,000 miles ago.

Included with the car are all of its original manuals and handbooks housed in a Porsche-branded leather document folder. It will also be supplied with several past service invoices, and the navigation system DVD, trickle charger and two keys.

This Porsche 997 Carrera 4S is a wonderful analogue sports car, boasting a smart factory specification, and excellent history. It is presented in superb order throughout, and has evidently been cherished by its owners. The Carrera 4S versions of the 911 represent a particularly alluring blend of excitement and everyday capability, and this car is just as well-suited to thrilling road trips as it is to taking up daily driver duties.
