Here’s a lovely Porsche 997 Carrera dating from 2005. It is finished in classic Midnight Blue Metallic, which is a deep shade that perfectly complements the 911’s flowing curves, married with stylish 19-inch ‘lobster claw’ alloy wheels and stainless steel four-outlet tailpipes.

The interior is dark Ocean Blue full leather with hard-backed Sports seats that are super-comfortable and supportive, and boast the Porsche crest on the headrests. Other options include Bose Sound Package, PCM (Porsche Communication Management with sat-nav), Alcantara roof lining, switchable Sports exhaust, sunroof, automatic rear-view mirror and wipers, Litronic headlamps, rear Park Assist and PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) which gives a choice of suspension settings.

The Porsche has an incredibly well documented service history that shows it has been properly maintained over the years, including recent intermediate services between the recommended two-yearly intervals. The last service was in May 2022 at 103,905 miles, when the brake fluid and transmission oil were also changed. It has just had brand new brake discs and pads, front and rear. We have looked after the car in recent years for the last owner, so we know it very well.

If you are unable to get to us, please get in touch as we can make a video or organise a conference call to show you around the car, covering all aspects you want to see. We are based in the historic village of Bosham, on the south coast of England, nestled between the South Downs and Chichester Harbour, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s a lovely area to visit and you are very welcome to come and view our stock or just have a chat about cars!

Philip Raby says: “The Porsche 997 is pure 911 to drive and to look at, and this manual transmission Carrera S especially so. It looks great in Midnight Blue and the exhaustive service history is very reassuring.”
