Vehicle description

2005 Porsche 911 (997.1) Carrera S 3.8 Tiptronic S | Sport Chrono | PASM | Documented Engine Rebuild | MOSHAMMER RS Aero 119,000 miles | 3.8-litre Flat-Six | 5-Speed Tiptronic S | Coupé | Sunroof A superbly presented and extensively documented Porsche 911 (997.1) Carrera S Coupé, first registered 1 February 2005 and powered by Porsche’s naturally aspirated 3.8-litre flat-six, paired with the 5-speed Tiptronic S transmission. Finished in silver over a beautifully preserved black full-leather interior, this is a particularly high-specification Carrera S that has been enthusiast owned, maintained and cherished throughout its life. Despite having covered 119,000 miles, the condition of the car genuinely belies its mileage. The exterior presents exceptionally well and the cabin has been equally well cared for, with the leather, trim and controls showing remarkably little wear for a 21-year-old 911. Most importantly, this car is accompanied by an extensive service and maintenance history, including a documented £6,958.56 engine rebuild incorporating new cylinder liners. DOCUMENTED ENGINE REBUILD For anyone familiar with the 997.1 Carrera S, the engine history is an important part of buying the right car. This example benefits from a documented major engine rebuild following the identification of cylinder scoring. The invoice records removal of the complete engine and gearbox assembly, stripping of the engine to the bare crankcases and the crankcases being sent away for new cylinder liners. The engine was subsequently rebuilt with new seals and gaskets and refitted to the vehicle with fresh fluids before being road tested. The work also included inspection of the crankshaft journals, pistons and intermediate-shaft bearing, together with replacement of the engine-driven vacuum pump and associated exhaust components/clamps. The invoice for this work alone totals £6,958.56 and forms part of the substantial history file supplied with the car. EXTENSIVE SERVICE HISTORY The Carrera S comes with its original stamped service book together with an extensive collection of supporting invoices, documenting maintenance stretching across more than two decades. Early servicing was carried out within the Porsche Centre network, with subsequent maintenance entrusted to respected Porsche specialists including: Porsche Centre Cambridge PCT Cars Porsche Specialists Porsche Centre Mid-Sussex Cridfords Porsche Specialists GT One Porsche Specialists Portiacraft Reason Porsche The recorded service history extends from 20,004 miles in February 2006 through to the most recent recorded service in June 2026 at approximately 119,240 miles. The history file also documents significant expenditure beyond routine servicing, including suspension work, Bilstein B4 rear dampers, front suspension springs, brake maintenance, gearbox oil, regular brake-fluid changes, Porsche N-rated tyres and various electrical and air-conditioning related maintenance. This is not simply a stamped book – it is a substantial chronological history demonstrating continued maintenance throughout the car’s life. FACTORY PORSCHE SPECIFICATION Being a Carrera S, the car already benefits from the larger 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, together with a particularly desirable factory specification. Equipment includes: * Sport Chrono Package Plus * PASM – Porsche Active Suspension Management * PSM – Porsche Stability Management * 5-speed Tiptronic S * Tiptronic steering-wheel controls * Electric slide/tilt sunroof * Full black leather interior * Electrically adjustable front seats * Porsche Crest embossed headrests * Extended leather dashboard * Alcantara-style headlining * Cruise control * Automatic Xenon headlights * Air conditioning * Electric windows * Electrically adjustable mirrors * PCM navigation * Telephone module * CD autochanger * Silver instrument dials * Silver Sport Chrono stopwatch dial * Rear wiper * Top-tinted windscreen * ASK sound package * Full-colour Porsche wheel-centre crests PREMIUM UPGRADES In addition to its already strong factory specification, considerable money has been invested in carefully selected enhancements that give the car a distinctive Carrera RS-inspired appearance without losing the unmistakable lines of the 997. MOSHAMMER RS AERO PACKAGE The car is fitted with a complete MOSHAMMER RS-inspired aero package, an interpretation of Porsche’s legendary 911 Carrera RS models. The package comprises: * MOSHAMMER front spoiler * MOSHAMMER side skirts * Rear diffuser * Signature Ducktail rear spoiler The complete package represents over £4,000 including professional installation and transforms the appearance of the car, combining classic Porsche RS styling cues with the more contemporary proportions of the 997. Further exterior enhancements include TechArt mirrors and upgraded genuine Porsche 997 Turbo rear lights. 19” CONCAVER CVR1 WHEELS The car sits on a stunning set of 19-inch Concaver CVR1 lightweight forged, diamond-cut alloy wheels, costing approximately £2,300. They complement the MOSHAMMER bodywork perfectly and give the car a much more purposeful stance while retaining an appropriately premium appearance. The car is currently running Bridgestone tyres all round, together with good brake discs and pads. MODERN INFOTAINMENT The interior has also been discreetly modernised with a Sony infotainment system incorporating Apple CarPlay and a reversing camera, providing modern connectivity and everyday usability while retaining the character of the original 997 cabin. Additional features include the multifunction steering wheel, electric seats, electric windows and mirrors and cruise control, making this a genuinely comfortable 911 for longer journeys. CONDITION This has clearly been a cherished enthusiast-owned Porsche. The car presents in excellent condition both inside and out, with the interior in particularly impressive condition for its age and mileage. The black leather, dashboard, headlining and switchgear have all been exceptionally well preserved. It is a car that has been enjoyed as Porsche intended, but crucially has also benefited from considerable expenditure and ongoing maintenance throughout its life. At this age, buying a 997 Carrera S should be about far more than simply finding the lowest number on an odometer. Condition, maintenance and documented mechanical history matter enormously, and this particular example has an unusually comprehensive history file to support it. The combination of the 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, Sport Chrono Package Plus, PASM, Tiptronic S, electric sunroof, full leather cabin and extensive history, together with the MOSHAMMER RS styling package and Concaver wheels, makes this a very individual and striking example of the increasingly appreciated first-generation 997. Supplied with two keys, original service book and a substantial supporting history/invoice file. MOT until June 2027. The car can be viewed at 73 Motors, Waltham Abbey.
