Description
Selling my honest, driver-spec 911.
Chosen for what it has and has not: no sunroof, no bore scoring, the larger IMS bearing, manual, wingback sports seats, no PASM, no Bose, registered before the March 2006 tax change so £430 a year, and Porsche service history from new.
It wants for nothing mechanically and every claim below is evidenced. Paintwork is good for its age with the stone chips you would expect, photographed rather than hidden.
Why sell within a year and after spending a fortune? Life has changed and I need a cheaper daily that does not need warming through.
1. LARGER IMS BEARING. 2006 model year, so the later larger intermediate shaft bearing, not the small one the 996 and 2005 cars had.
2. BORE SCOPED NOVEMBER 2025. Ramus Porscha, Porsche specialist, 51,954 miles: no signs of bore damage. Report and six prints with the car. Compression test 2020, all six cylinders in spec. Always warmed through before it is worked.
3. REAR MAIN SEAL AND NEW CLUTCH, DECEMBER 2025. Engine out at Ramus Porscha, 51,955 miles: rear main seal, intermediate shaft seal, oil cooler and seals, water pump, cam-main gaskets, new clutch kit.
4. COOLANT PIPES REPLACED. Coolant pipe and four hoses December 2025; water pipe, hose and coolant valve June 2026. New alternator April 2026.
5. DRIVER SPEC. Factory non-sunroof coupe, manual, wingback sports seats in black leather, colour-coded mirrors, 19" Carrera S wheels. Four Michelin Pilot Sport 4S fitted January 2026, 2,300 miles ago.
6. ENTIRE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RENEWED, JUNE 2026. Both condensers, both radiators, new compressor, seals, regas, then the rear lines after a dye test. Zunsport grilles protect the new parts.
7. FULL PORSCHE SERVICE HISTORY. Aberdeen 2008 to 2016, Portsmouth 2018, Wolverhampton 2020 and 2022, Solihull December 2025. Nine stamps, invoices for the last four, Porsche condition reports 2008 to 2022. MOT to 8 December 2026, last four clean. No finance, no damage.
£8,359 of invoiced work since November 2025. Every invoice, the borescope report, both keys, all books and the service wallet included.
DISCLOSURE. Driver's seat outer bolster creased, photographed. Resonator bypass and BMC air filter. CarPlay head unit fitted; amplifier wire needs connecting for the door bass speakers, connectors supplied. Original Porsche PCM navigation unit included. Plate A12 TVP stays with the car.
No hurry to sell. The price is what the car and its file are worth.
