2014 PORSCHE 911 (991) CARRERA - MANUAL

This Porsche 991 Carrera is an exciting and agile sports car, presented in very smart condition and with a driver-focused specification. It is powered by a 3.4-litre naturally aspirated flat-six producing 345bhp, coupled to the seven-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 48,446 miles from new.

Supplied by Porsche Centre Leeds in September 2014, there is just one previous registered keeper on the log book. The seller has owned the car since October 2019, and has enjoyed around 3,000 miles behind the wheel.

The bodywork and paint are reported to be in excellent condition, with only minor stone chips to the front end commensurate with the mileage. The seller states that there are no dents or any other areas of damage whatsoever. It has recently been treated to a full interior and exterior detailing session, including to the suspension components. During this treatment, the detailer used a paint gauge and reported that he believed the whole car was in its factory paint. In general it presents superbly, with a glossy appearance from the original finish around the panels. The car rides on the 19-inch ‘Carrera V’ alloys, which present in very good order with only minor blemishes.

Inside, there is extended black leather throughout the cabin, including to the dashboard panel and door tops. It is equipped with the standard Sport seats with electric adjustment, as well as the three-spoke Sport steering wheel. There are no defects in the leather, and only signs of light use in line with the age. The seller notes some small marks and scuffs around the door apertures on the plastic strips next to the carpet. The specification includes dual-zone climate control, power folding wing mirrors, and touch-screen PCM with satellite navigation, media hard drive and DAB digital radio.

Its last scheduled maintenance was in October 2018 at 33,718 miles, carried out by Porsche specialist Strasse in Leeds. This consisted of a maintenance service, along with replacement of the spark plugs. Prior to this, it was also given an intermediate service in January 2017 at 13,677 miles by another Leeds-based specialist, Porschtek.

The most recent MOT test was carried out on 16 September 2019 at 45,718 miles, which resulted in a first-time pass with only one advisory about wear to the front brake pads. The wheels are fitted with Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres all round, which are date-coded to 2017 and have around 5mm of tread remaining at the front and 3mm at the rear.

Accompanying the car is a complete and original book pack, including the driver’s manual, user guides, and the stamped guarantee and maintenance record. The original tools and two remote keys are also present.

This Porsche 991 Carrera is arguably as pure as a contemporary 911 gets, with its naturally aspirated engine and manual gearbox. It has just one previous owner, and has been kept in very good condition throughout its life so far. For someone who wants to experience the very essence of rear-wheel-drive Porsche performance without any unnecessary frills, this particular car represents a great opportunity.

Please note: the cherished plate shown on the car is not included in the sale. It will be switched back to an age-related registration plate in the event of a successful auction.
