SUMMARY
An excellent opportunity to acquire a 997 Carrera 2 S Tiptronic in 'barn find' condition and offered without Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- The car presented here is a 2004 (Gen 1) 997, 3.8-litre Carrera S fitted with a 6-speed Tiptronic semi-automatic gearbox
- The 'S' introduced the more powerful (355bhp) 3.8-litre flat-six, 19" wheels as standard, larger ventilated discs and quad tailpipes
- Finished in Seal Grey and optioned with a sunroof, Bose sounds, adaptive sports seats and more
- Acquired as a part-finished project by our vendor around five years ago, however we understand that his need for space means this wonderful opportunity comes to market
- The suspension and other parts of the car are still awaiting repair and some parts remain in the vehicle
- With an indicated mileage of just over 96,000, this was plainly a well used, and one assumes, well loved car before its demise
- We would suggest that interested parties view the Porsche to establish just how much or how little work is required to return this 997 S to the road
- It does appear to be a really solid opportunity with serious potential and is being offered without Reserve
