A really lovely, properly sorted example of the 997.1 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, finished in Basalt Black with the desirable manual gearbox. I bought the car from Porsche specialist Portiacraft in May 2026. It was serviced by Portiacraft prior to collection and, importantly, was bore-scoped before sale with no issues found. Since buying it I've spent approximately 3,000 bringing the car up to the standard I wanted, concentrating on sympathetic improvements to the interior, exterior and technology rather than changing the character of the car. It now looks fantastic, drives beautifully and is mechanically sorted. I genuinely love this car and have thoroughly enjoyed improving it. Specification * 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (997.1) * 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six * 6-speed manual gearbox * All-wheel drive * Carrera 4 wide-body * 64,500 miles * Basalt Black * Sports Exhaust * Electric memory seats * BOSE sound system * 18-inch Carrera S alloy wheels * Michelin Porsche N-rated tyres with plenty of life remaining * MOT until May 2027 Recent upgrades and refurbishment Since May I have spent around 3,000 updating and improving the car, including: * Matt Devo custom Apple CarPlay / Android Auto head unit - fitted July 2026 * Alex Yates LX8 short-shift kit - fitted June 2026 * Black Forest Industries gear knob - fitted July 2026 * Royal Steering Wheels retrimmed Sport Design-style steering wheel - fitted July 2026 * Thinkware U1000 dash cam - fitted July 2026 * BMC performance air filter and resonator delete - July 2026 * New Porsche crest wheel centre caps - July 2026 * Brand-new genuine Porsche floor mats from Design 911 * Interior leather and trim refurbishment * Exterior trim refurbishment * Headlight and lighting restoration The result is a 997 that still feels like a proper analogue 911, but with a much fresher cabin and the technology you actually want for regular use. The combination of the naturally aspirated 3.6, manual gearbox, upgraded Sports Exhaust and short-shift kit makes it a fantastic car to drive, while the Carrera 4 gives you the wider rear body and all-wheel-drive security. It is a genuinely fantastic-looking example and drives exactly as a good 997 should. The private registration shown in some photographs is not included in the sale and will be retained by me.
