Chassis No. – WP0ZZZ99Z6S738061

M.O.T. – February 2026

Odometer – 29,100

The Porsche 911 997 represents the sixth iteration of this legendary German sports car easily recognised by the previous “fried egg” headlamps now replaced with the more classic looking “bug eye” units. ‘V16 ROR’ is a fine example of the 997 from its second year of production. What really sets ‘V16 ROR’ apart, however, is its miniscule 29,100 miles covered to date. That equates to a mere 1,500 miles or so per year. To further monopolise on that remarkable provenance, ‘V16 ROR’ comes complete with a full service history from a mix of dealers and independent specialists. ‘V16 ROR’ has been borescope checked for bore score and has been deemed clear with documentary proof available. ‘V16 ROR’ is a desirable six speed manual version, complete with a valid MOT until January 2026 and ready and raring to go immediately.

Being the desirable S version, ‘V16 ROR’ features the bigger 3824cc six cylinder boxer engine originally rated at an impressive 355bhp at 6,600 rpm offering a 29bhp uplift over the standard Carrera. 295 Ib-ft of torque was available 4,600 rpm making this a very tractable unit, too. Other S upgrades include Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and an uprated braking system. ‘V16 ROR’ features the preferred six speed manual gearbox. This configuration was originally good for a sub five second 0-60mph sprint and an 186mph top speed. The vendor rates the engine, transmission and electrics as “excellent.”

‘V16 ROR’ presents in gleaming Basalt Black and features those big, elliptical “classic” headlamps and a set of 19-inch “Lobster Claw” alloy wheels also finished in gloss black. These are shod with a set of quality Pirelli P-Zero tyres. This black on black livery lends ‘V16 ROR’ a stealthy and imposing road presence. The sports orientated cabin is another black on black environment with the seats upholstered in supple perforated leather in black. The front seats feature embossed Porsche shield emblems to the integral headrests. It’s well specified in here, too, with a Porsche Apple CarPlay head unit and Bose sound system. Paintwork, bodywork and interior are all rated as “good.”

In summary:

· A superb example of the 997.1 in higher power S specification

· Having covered a mere 29,000 miles or so and complete with a thorough service history

· Checked for bore score and deemed clear with documentary support
