2007 PORSCHE 911 (997) CARRERA S CABRIOLET

KEY FACTS

• An eminently usable open-top sports car, with a smart blue colour scheme and very low mileage.
• Under the engine lid is a 355bhp 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, driven through the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
• A comprehensive Porsche main dealer service history is available on file.
• First registered in April 2007, there is just one prior keeper on the V5C, and it has been owned by the vendor for 11 years.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Its factory specification includes Cobalt Blue paintwork, Ocean Blue leather upholstery, electrically adjustable heated seats and the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system.
• The car was also specified with the multi-function steering wheel, and has extended leather over the dashboard and door tops.

• Its original owner’s manuals and service book will be included, along with a complete record of maintenance invoices.

CONDITION

• The passenger door was dented while travelling on a UK ferry in 2010, but the damage was professionally repaired and window glass replaced, paid for by the ferry company.
• Its resprayed Cobalt Blue paintwork is in excellent condition, with just some minor stone chips on the front end.
• There are some small marks near the driver’s seat belt holder, but the Ocean Blue leather upholstery is in superb order showing only a few creases, commensurate with the very low mileage.
• A piece of cardboard has been inserted into the dashboard to cure a rattle in the instrument panel, as a Porsche dealer was unable to identify of rectify the noise.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 18 May 2021 at 34,220 miles, which was a pass with two advisories to monitor leaking front coolant pipes and slight free play in the nearside front strut shaft.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent maintenance was in May 2021 at 34,220 miles, where technicians at Porsche Centre Reading performed a minor service, changing the engine oil, brake fluid and the out-of-date tyre inflation canister.
