The ultimate - a CCX (Exclusive Manufaktur) equipped, black, manual, rear-wheel-drive 997 Carrera S coup with black interior. With thousands spent and in impeccable condition, this is about as desirable as they come in our world. This truly is as good as a Porsche 911 997 Carrera S gets, and it should not be confused with or compared to the average examples out there. As 911 specialists, we regularly highlight the pitfalls when buying 911s of this vintage and how, regardless of mileage, they are now of an age where certain issues inevitably require investment. This very special, exclusively specified 911 (Sports Exhaust - CCX short shift gear knob -Exclusive Aluminium handbrake lever ) has had thousands spent addressing everything we would typically advise, making this a total peace-of-mind purchase for its next owner: IMS bearing, RMS, new clutch, recent discs and pads, N-rated Michelin Pilot tyres, new alternator (last year), new front shock absorbers, new bump stops, and a full geometry setup at the UK-famous Centre of Gravity. The coolant crossover pipes have been checked and remain pristine (both engine and radiator). Recent rear shock absorbers, water pump, new low-temperature thermostat, engine mounts, gearbox mounts, and even the costly over-engine brake line have all been done. Brake flexi lines, revised ignition coil-packs, the cam-chain tensioner, front crossover pipes, and the tandem oil pump have also been recently addressed. Needless to say, we estimate over ten thousand pounds has been spent ensuring this is one of the best 997s we have ever seen. It has truly been cherished. Additionally, its Basalt Black Metallic paintwork is swirl-free, and its interior has had thousands invested in keeping it in excellent condition too. With a huge provenance file and freshly serviced today, this Porsche is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner, with no scheduled servicing required until 2027. With prices of the 997 steadily on the rise and with everything already done that can be done to one of these cars, this special 911 represents a very shrewd purchase for its next custodian.
