Description

Welcome to the advert for my from Porche 911 Carrera 2S 997.1 - Hartech engine rebuild. I've owned the car since October 2022. Why did I get a 911 997.1 2S? I tried many Porches and the 4s wasn't as engaging to drive, nothing quite beats feeling on the edge with all that power going to two rear wheels. I also chose the Tip Tronic, as to be honest, you can't over rev the engine and I'm not a racing driver. I tried manuals and frankly they were too much for me. I tried the 997.2 and marginally preferred the 997.1's driving experience, so, and most importantly, the engine had to be sorted. If you know your 997.1s they can get bore scoring and IMS trouble. There is only one way to fix it forever, that is to get an engine rebuild by Hartech and only Hartech. The full rebuild was carried out 25k miles ago and it is essentially made the engine bullet proof. I've put a link to the process in the document link. You can buy a 997.1 without it or from another rebuilder, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can get a 997.2 but you'll pay significantly more. So that's why I ended up with this car. I'm selling because it doesn't get used due to a change in work. Additionally I'm not selling the car, James, my good friend is, as I am out of the country all the time and can't effectively do viewings. Less than 7K miles use over the last two years and since its last major service, two annual oil changes completed in that time anyway even with such low mileage covered. I have only used millers nanotech oil. Again, if you know your Porches, it's the best oil you can get. Front Discs and pads are virtually new, Rear discs have a tiny lip and pads are 40% worn. Rear Tyres 4/5mm, Front Tyres 5/6mm. The car has extensive service history dating back to 2009 with over 27000 pounds spent over the years. Please see the last image for the service record and all documents The car needs for nothing, it runs and drives amazingly. It has some minor age related marks as you would expect from a car of its age (see the latter photos in the listing). The certificate of Authenticity is available for this vehicle. Bargain price for a bullet proof 997.1 Private plate not for sale with the car.
