This 2008 Porsche 997 Carrera S is a second-generation 997, which means it has the all-new direct fuel injection (DFI) engine, which is super-efficient and reliable. The updated car also boasts restyled LED front and rear lights, and revised PCM sat-nav and heating controls. The seven-speed PDK transmission gives the choice of super-fast automatic changes or manual shifting via the steering wheel controls.

It is finished in timeless Arctic Silver Metallic paired with 19inch Carrera Classic wheels with coloured centre caps. The interior is full Ocean Blue leather with hard-backed Sports seats that have 16-way electric adjustment with driver’s memory.

Other options include Bose Surround Sound, multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, PSM (Porsche Stability Management) PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), Park Assist, Litronic headlamps, satnav, Bluetooth phone connectivity, Universal Audio Interface (to connect your music), sunroof, Alcantara headlining, rear wiper, 12-volt socket in passenger footwell, and white dials.

The Porsche is in superb condition, inside and out, and comes with a well documented service history. It was serviced in June 2020 so does not require another service for two years.

Philip Raby says: “I’m a big fan of the 997, and this Gen2 example really hits the sweet spot, with its PDK transmission and 3.8-litre engine, it’s a joy to drive.
