Porsche 997.1 Turbo Manual

2008 997.1 Turbo, manual

Slate Grey metallic, full black leather, all desirable options, currently 59,600 miles.

Chrono, factory short shifter, heated sports seats, wiper, cruise, parking sensors, PCCM+

This sports chrono optioned 997 Turbo is provided with a full and comprehensive service history and faultless maintenance record. With the all-important rear wiper and heated sports seats this is an all-weather supercar but the car has been used sparingly in summer only which is commensurate with the overall condition.

This enthusiast-owned Turbo has been maintained without budget, and the price reflects that every single major maintenance item has been completed, including a full replacement of the OEM turbochargers, all associated oil and coolant lines and EGT sensor, work which was a £9k job by itself just 500 miles ago. Every 997 turbo will need this job doing in very short time now, so this is complete peace of mind and the turbochargers themselves are warranted to May 2026. As the engine was out for this work, the clutch, flywheel and water pump and expansion tank were replaced at the same time.

The original exhaust (including O2 sensors), alloys, tail lights and radio are included in the sale should you wish to go back to the factory look.

Please note: This car has NOT been mapped or had any mechanical modifications outside of OEM spec. It is completely stock, which is more than enough.

In addition to this major maintenance upgrade, the car has been cared for with several important but value-add upgrades. This is a complete list of everything completed in my ownership:

- New turbochargers, coolant and oil lines, exhaust gas temp sensor

- New clutch and flywheel

- Full front suspension replacement including all control arms and inner and outer steering track rods

- New Bilstein OEM shocks, OEM top mounts and new springs front and rear.

- Centre console, armrest/storage lid & side trim panel upholstered in leather to match the seats. Adds a layer of luxury to the interior

- Full PCCM+ upgraded infotainment system. The frunk carpet panels and mat were also upgraded with OEM parts so there are no gaps where the old CD Changer was fitted. Old PCM headunit and CD changer provided

- Kline stainless steel 200c cats and backbox, with new O2 sensors. Cats are still under warranty, but the system is fully removable and the old exhaust unit is supplied, with the O2 sensors attached for simple refit.

- 997 Gen 2 sports steering wheel and airbag

- Retrofitted OEM cruise control

- OZ Ultraleggera (GT2 style) alloy wheels in Weiss Gold in GT2RS offset. This means the car does not run any spacers, the wheels fill the arches perfectly. Tyres are Michelin PS4S and are 2 years/4k miles old, so very good condition. Original alloys also provided, in A1 condition (without tyres)

- Matching Weiss Gold decal set in GT2-style. Original silver “turbo’ badge provided

- Water pump and expansion tank replaced

- OEM red tail lights. Originals supplied.

- Full alignment to OEM 997 GT2 spec. This means the car rides and handles slightly better than stock.

Next service due is a minor service in March 2026.

MoT to May 2026.

The pricing reflects not only the provenance of the car, but also the cost of recent work which is going to be needed on almost every 997 turbo by now. New turbochargers (and the associate oil and coolant lines) are becoming increasingly hard to source and it is an engine out, time-consuming job. All of the recent work is warranted and the car drives like new, with the instantaneous boost you expect.

This car also includes upwards of £5k of removable and very desirable aftermarket parts including the exhaust and alloy wheels with the original parts included. Any inspection is welcome, test drive etc. too but I am very precious with my car so I trust you will be respectful back.

Supplied with full service history, folder of receipts dating back to 2010 and all handbooks etc, plus 2 keys.
