This 2008 911 Turbo (997.1) Convertible, equipped with a rare and highly desirable 6-speed manual gearbox, is (reluctantly!) for sale. MOT: Fresh 12 Months, spotless report Service History: Full Service History, including recent major engine-out work, and rebuilt spoiler actuators. All 997.1 Turbos with this mileage will inevitably experience a slipped inlet cam sleeve on Bank 2 - it's an unavoidable issue (Google P0021 fault code!). OPC quotes an eye-watering sum to replace the whole bank 2 cam assembly. Unlike many examples still at risk, I have had the cam professionally pinned at a Porsche Specialist. That means you have complete confidence that the legendary 911 GT1-derived twin-turbocharged Metzger engine is mechanically solid for tens of thousands of miles to come, if not more. Notable Recent Work: Inlet Cam Sleeve Pinned, Cam solenoid-actuator, over-engine brake pipe, engine temp sensor and thermostat, turbo oil breather line all replaced and the hydraulic spoiler actuators rebuilt and renewed above OEM spec with still over a year's warranty left(that's another 1,000 job if it hasn't been done!) Other 'Normal' work: Both Front top mounts, brand new Porsche OEM n/s/f shock, drop links, tie rod ends, CV boot, rear arb bushes Why This 997.1 Turbo? I have proudly owned and, importantly, driven this car for nearly two years and have put more miles on it than any previous owner (circa 12,000). This example has been used and enjoyed properly and is THE example, if you want to DRIVE a 997.1 turbo. Manual Gearbox - The rarer and more valuable model Convertible Roof - Enjoy top-down motoring with supercar performance, and again more rare - find another convertible manual! Fresh MOT with no advisories, in both years of ownership. Major Preventative Work Done Full Service History - Maintained to the highest standard, with at least 3 oil changes in my ownership alone. Daily-Driven Reliability - This isn't a car that sits idle and develops issues, it's been properly run and tested on longer journeys. No outstanding finance. 2 Keys. Please text before ringing, I don't pick up the phone if I don't know who it is!
