Description
2008 Porsche 911 997.1 Carrera 2 3.6 Manual Coupe
A proper driver's 911 – naturally aspirated, rear-wheel drive, manual gearbox and a particularly desirable factory specification.
The 997.1 Carrera 2 remains one of the most appealing modern 911s for the enthusiast, combining the classic 911 character with a relatively compact, analogue feel that has become increasingly difficult to find. The naturally aspirated 3.6-litre flat-six, rear-wheel drive and six-speed manual gearbox make this a particularly engaging combination.
This example is especially interesting from an enthusiast's perspective. It is a factory non-sunroof car with no rear wiper, retaining the clean roofline and lighter, more focused specification sought after by many Porsche buyers. It is also equipped with the desirable 19-inch Carrera Classic wheels and factory switchable Sports Exhaust, giving it the appearance and soundtrack to match its driving credentials.
With just 80,700 miles from new and only 3 previous keepers, the car has a strong history with 10 recorded services to 80,000 miles. It is also a car we know particularly well, being previously retailed ourselves.
For additional peace of mind, the car has just undergone a clear bore-scope inspection, with photographs available on file. We have also carried out approximately £2,500 of pre-sale preparation, including a new air-conditioning condenser and four new tyres, meaning it is being offered ready to be enjoyed rather than simply presented for sale.
Inside, the specification is equally well judged, with leather dashboard and door cards, heated seats, a 3-spoke smooth leather steering wheel, PCM navigation and rear parking sensors.

The 997.1 Carrera 2 manual is an increasingly appreciated specification, particularly for buyers looking for a naturally aspirated 911 with a traditional rear-wheel-drive layout and three pedals. Add the factory non-sunroof configuration, no rear wiper, Sports Exhaust and Carrera Classic wheels, and this is a car that should appeal strongly to the Porsche enthusiast rather than simply someone looking for a used 911.
