An original manual 997 presented in a gorgeous sunshine Lapis Blue, complemented by black leather interior in great condition, looking for a new caretaker. It's time it moves to a new home, where it will be just as loved, we have owned this car for 12 years, the car has been garaged throughout and has covered few miles and therein is the reason for sale, we just don't use it. Sitting on original 19" lobster claw staggered rims, the car drives beautifully, there are Bi-Xenon headlights, a BOSE sound system, a parrot handsfree phone kit, zunsport grilles to protect the condensing radiators. Included is the optional folding wind deflector and in inside car cover.It also makes a great sound thanks to the aftermarket Dansk rear silencers and also there is plenty of tread on the tyres.There is a full service history and it has been looked after by a Porsche specialist for the entire time of our ownership, receiving plenty of tlc in new parts. We have an extensive file of maintenance records. Parts replaced in our ownership include: new A/C condensers, Front suspension top mountings, Coolant pipes, Brake pipes, Front coil springs.Last service was July 2022 at 72,624 miles, only 1700 miles driven since then. MOT to July 2025, pass with no advisories. No known faults, the roof works as it should. There is a very small annoying car park ding in the offside front wing.In 2015 the engine was rebuilt at Strasse as a result of the infamous bore scoring, which had affected one cylinder, we have had no issues since, the car drives beautifully. Shortly after the rebuild we took it on a trip to the French Riviera and the car was perfect for that, some fabulous memories of that one.We also have an additional set of turbo style diamond polished anthracite rims should a buyer wish to purchase those in addition. Next MOT due 09/07/2025, Blue, 5+ owners, £21,997
