An exceptional, enthusiast-owned 997.1 Carrera 4 Cabriolet that perfectly captures the Porsche “sweet spot”pairing the legendary 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six with a highly coveted 6-speed manual gearbox. Because this is the Carrera 4, it boasts the aggressive factory widebody shell (44mm wider at the rear than the C2), giving it an unmistakable, planted road presence.
Crucially for any 997 buyer, this car comes with total peace of mind: as a 2007 model, it features the robust, updated factory IMS bearing, and a recent borescope inspection confirms absolutely no bore scoring.
This is a meticulously maintained, analog 911 ready to be driven year-round.
Key Highlights & Upgrades:
Two Cars in One (OEM Hardtop): Includes a non color matched factory hardtop for the winter months, transforming the car into a sleek, insulated coupe while preserving the pristine soft-top. The convertible hydraulics operate flawlessly with zero leaks.
Carrera S Brake Upgrade: Stopping power has been significantly enhanced with red “S” calipers and larger 330mm rotors. Sharing pad profiles with the 996 Turbo and GT3, this setup completely eliminates brake fade and delivers a rock-solid, communicative pedal feel.
All-Weather Traction: The viscous-coupling AWD system actively manages torque, making this a secure, confidence-inspiring daily driver regardless of the conditions.
The Purist’s Transmission: The 6-speed manual gearbox offers an engaging, mechanical connection with precise shifts that modern PDKs simply cannot replicate.
Condition & History:
Ownership & Provenance: 4 former keepers.
Maintenance: Full Service History with all documents and receipts logged. Recently passed its MOT.
Turn-Key Ready: All fluids are freshly topped up. Paintwork is in phenomenal condition, and the car sits on excellent tyres with deep tread.
Whether carving through B-roads or cruising cross-country, this 997.1 represents an increasingly rare breed of analog, mechanical sports cars. It needs absolutely nothing but its next driver.
