Offered for sale is this stunning second generation Porsche 997, in the coupe guise and with the uncommon six speed manual gearbox. Presented in Meteor Grey and with the optional Sport Design two-piece split alloy wheels, this particular example is a stunning looking 911. The condition of the bodywork is beautiful, with straight and original body panels, and glistening Meteor Grey paintwork (paint colour code M7W), free from swirl marks and blemishes, benefitting from our customary detailing process, including a two-stage machine polish. Being critical, there are some usual stone chips to the front end. The 997 is a non-sun roof model, which presents a clean looking roof line. Up front, the headlights are crystal clear and at the rear, the tail pipe tips are beautifully clean. The gorgeous Sport Design multi-spoke alloy wheels present well with minimal marks, finished in colour-coded body colour and a diamond cut rim. The timeless black leather interior is also in beautiful order and sits alongside the grey exterior to make a classy combination. The leather seats present wonderfully, much like the carpets, door cards, and dashboard, which all show minimal signs of use. Every electrical function works as it should, which is inclusive of the ice-cool air conditioning, benefitting from new condensers and a system re-gas during our sales preparation process. In terms of optional equipment, the Porsche boasts park distance control, acoustic package, Bose sound system, front seat heating, body-colour painted centre lower console, and 19″ Sports Design alloy wheels, as well as all the usual 997 generation 2 equipment, such as the litronic xenon headlights, PCM3 satellite navigation, alcantara headlining. There are two remote key fobs with the car. The Porsche is in fine mechanical fettle, with the iconic 3.6 litre flat 6, which was reconfigured to direct fuel injection for the gen 2 997, starting crisply, idling smoothly and possessing impressive performance with a sound-track to suit. Unusually, this 997.2’s boxer engine is mated to a traditional manual gearbox, offering driver engagement craved by many enthusiasts. The 911 travels through its six speeds beautifully, with assistance from the feather-light clutch; renewed with us as part of our sales preparation process. The brakes are sharp and powerful with lots of life left in the discs and pads to all four corners. The handling ability is superb, with highly responsive steering and utterly tight suspension, with numerous components renewed during our sales preparation. Brand new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres are fitted to all four wheels, providing excellent grip and traction. There is a full and comprehensive servicing record with the 997, evidencing that it has only ever been cared for by the Porsche main dealer or Porsche independent specialists.
