Less can often be more! Well, if there was ever a Porsche 911 that fulfilled this sentiment, then here it is – a beautiful Porsche 911, 997 (2nd Generation) Carrera 2 finished in Arctic Silver metallic over full black leather upholstery and riding on an unblemished set of 19-inch Carrera S II wheels. This particular example also benefits from what is in our opinion the most engaging six speed manual gearbox in Porsche history. First registered in February 2010, this UK registered (C16) 997 has covered just over 66,500 miles since and has an exemplary service and maintenance history which is fully substantiated by a comprehensive document file. The last major service was carried out in June 2025, and the next minor service is due in June 2027. We have conducted a full diagnostic check and interrogated the electronic control unit for a rev range report – both coming back with a clean bill of health. You can view all these reports in the ‘Documents’ section on the advert page of our website. In the true spirit of ‘less is more’, the first owner of this 911 chose to add only the most necessary items from the Porsche optional equipment list, and in summary, these are, Heated Front Seats | Heated Steering Wheel | 19-inch Carrera S II Wheels | Wheel Caps with Full Coloured Porsche Crest | Rear Park Assist | Telephone Module for PCM | Navigation Module for PCM | Universal Audio Interface | Arctic Silver Metallic Paint. The 911 997.2 isn’t just a sports car — it’s the last of an era. Under the rear decklid sits a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six producing 345 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission that puts you completely in control. No paddles. No filters. Just you, the clutch, and one of the most iconic engine notes ever engineered. The 997.2 generation introduced direct fuel injection for sharper throttle response, improved efficiency, and stronger mid-range pull — while keeping the soul that made the 911 legendary. The 997.2 has become more desirable as it resolved the earlier IMS bearing concerns of prior 997.1 models, making it one of the most reliable modern classic 911s you can own. Bulletproof Mezger-inspired engineering feel, without the Mezger price tag. Driving a 997.2 is pure connection - Hydraulic steering with real feedback, Rear-engine traction that rockets you out of corners, a perfectly weighted manual gearbox and compact, analogue dimensions compared to newer 911’s. This is the last Carrera generation before the 911 became significantly larger, more digital, and more insulated. It still feels mechanical. Honest. Alive. Design-wise, the 997.2 keeps the timeless round headlights and clean body lines — modern enough to feel current, classic enough to turn heads anywhere. It’s equally at home carving great B roads, cruising motorways, or holding its value in a collector’s garage. In short, if you want a 911 that balances reliability, analogue engagement, daily usability, and investment-grade desirability — the 997.2 Carrera 2 manual is the one.
