After owning a few 911s now and selling my highly specced 997.1 Turbo last year, I have been watching the market for a while now waiting to pull the trigger and get back into the driving seat of another 911 Turbo.

After waiting patiently for a while this one popped up on autotrader significantly cheaper than a standard Turbo S.

Went to view and the rest is history.

It’s running 670bhp pretty much from delivery milage and setup at a great expense by 9ff.

Lots of options ticked when ordered and in really good condition all round.

Some tweaks and general maintenance I would like to do when the weather turns later on this year.

Recently serviced by 9E, major service and a few bits & pieces. 3.5k well spent.

My last 911 was a manual and I figured i would regret not buying anything other than a manual. PDK works well with setup, blistering quick car with no lag.

Looking forward to attending local car meets as and when they are local ish.

Pics.

Very nice! I watched this sell on Collecting Cars in December and wasn't brave enough to take a punt. Be very interested to see how you get on!

Very nice indeed, hard to beat a manual 997 what ever model, but a Turbo S with some 9ff love, oof bandit

nice car, I saw a few for sale in Germany as well, 9ff and sorts from 600 to say 800 hp, yes some more but I don't look at those.
and a lot have a manual, my first choice, but a automatic is faster mostly, although for me I like the action and the sound when shifting gear from a manual.

congrats, I wonder how you like it after a while with the power.

Looks lovely, well done!

Not too bad for the purist... or am I missing something?

Always assumed the purist would want to see a stock car which this is not.

A great looking car. Those wheels are too beautiful to be hiding in black. Get 'em changed to silver and the car will have a nice motorsport vibe with the white and lowered suspension.
