Highlights Generously specified with factory-fitted options including 7-speed PDK, BOSE sound system, Sport Design steering wheel with paddle shift and electric seats with driver memory Paint protection film applied to all bodywork Extensively serviced by Paragon in July 2026, including trailing arms replaced, central coolant radiator replaced, and AC regas Superb service record 42,162 warranted miles Advisory-free MOT to July 2027 The Appeal If you're looking to pinpoint the sweet spot in the 911 Turbo lineage, the evidence points towards this being it. For the 997 Gen II Turbo, Porsche moved away from the old Mezger engine in favour of a completely redesigned 500 bhp 3.8-litre unit featuring Direct Fuel Injection, and lacking the IMS bearing or coolant pipe vulnerabilities of older water-cooled Porsches. Pairing it with the option of the lightning-fast PDK dual-clutch gearbox created a car that remains devastatingly effective and deeply rewarding to drive. This 2012 example in Jet Black over black leather presents a compelling specification. The 7-speed PDK gearbox with paddle shift is complemented by a generous roster of factory-fitted options, including BOSE sound system, fully electric seats with driver memory, Sport Design steering wheel, rear parking sensors, Bluetooth phone connectivity, auto-dimming mirror with rain sensor and iPod/USB interface for the PCM system. The whole car has been covered in paint protection film. Having covered 42,162 miles from new, the car has been very well maintained, as the history file attests. An extensive service by Paragon in July 2026 and an advisory-free MOT pass ensure it is ready for its next custodian. Paragon carried out a 20k service with spark plugs, auxiliary belt and brake fluid, plus refurbished wheels and MOT. Major work included new front and rear suspension trailing arms, a replacement coolant radiator, both A/C condensers, and throttle body and ECU work. Laser alignment and a road test completed it the through overhaul. A well-specified 997 Gen II Turbo with a known history, this Jet Black example warrants close inspection.

It has certainly kept this 997.2 Turbo looking its best, and will continue to do so for its new keeper. As the photographs attest, this 911 is beautifully presented throughout and shows minimal signs of wear, consistent with its ultra-low mileage. The specification is fabulous: 19" Turbo II wheels, Bose audio, electric memory seats, Sport Design steering wheel... this car has it all. The Mechanics 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged flat six engine producing 500 bhp Seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission All-wheel drive Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Stability Management (PSM) The great thing about these modern classic 911 Turbos is their Jekyll-and-Hyde character. Often considered the air-cooled era Turbo's spiritual successor, the 997.2 offers brutal performance wrapped in a usable, everyday package. All-wheel drive, PASM, and PSM add reassurance in the wet, but step on the loud pedal, and it becomes a formidable machine. Our example has been maintained by respected marque specialists and has covered minimal mileage for its age. Paragon performed the most recent work, including replacing the trailing arms, the central coolant radiator, and re-gassing the air conditioning system.
