This stylish 2005 997 Porsche 911 is a desirable Carrera S version, with more power than the standard Carrera. What’s more, it has the enviable combination of the Carrera 2 rear-wheel drive chassis and six-speed manual gearbox – the choice specification of enthusiasts. It is finished in elegant grey metallic with a black leather interior, one of the best 997 colour and trim combinations. The 19-inch ‘lobster claw’ alloy wheels are fitted with matching Pirelli P Zero tyres. It is described as being in ‘good’ condition throughout, including engine and transmission, bodywork, paintwork and interior.

‘YJ05 KYN’ has an odometer reading 86,000 miles. The vendor says they bought it off a friend two years ago, who owned it for 12 years, giving the reassurance of long-term ownership. It has a full service history from both Porsche OPC and highly-rated north of England specialist Jasmine PorschaLink UK. The UK-registered car will have 12 months’ MOT and comes with two keys plus all the owner's manuals and book packs, plus an A4 lever arch folder of receipts and invoices.

The 997-era Porsche 911 was introduced in 2004 as a development of the pivotal 1998 996 Porsche 911, the firm’s first water-cooled car. It is today acclaimed by Porsche enthusiasts as one of the finest generations of 911, building on the 996 with enhanced front end styling that aped the famous 993-era 911, and an all-new interior that was much higher-quality. The 997 was developed further in 2005 with the launch of the more powerful Carrera S, which boasted a larger 360bhp 3.8-litre engine, larger wheels and uprated brakes, lowered suspension and sports exhaust. The 997 Porsche 911 was well-received by reviewers from the start, with even Jeremy Clarkson stating that it would “stir your soul”.
