Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
The 997 offers stunning performance and dynamics, placing it as one the worlds ultimate drivers cars.
The Porsche 911 has long been considered one of the most complete and definitive driver's cars. The sixth generation 997 incarnation of the 911 was revised in 2004 following the success paved by the 996 models, which did much to enhance the 911’s reputation for both usability and drivability. With smoother and more refined styling, and increased power and tech, the 997 fulfilled a balanced analogue driving experience, despite the vast innovations and significant driver aids. Retaining its reputation for grip and refinement, the 997 was enhanced by the Carrera S models, which added further dimension to the model. Developing impressive torque and power, the Carrera S variants were also fitted with the desirable Sport Chrono package, PASM and improved braking. Placing the normally aspirated car in the sub 5 second 0-60 mph club, the high-quality materials and exacting engineering standards maintained Porsches' reputation for reliability.
This well-maintained 2008 Carrera S is finished in "Basalt Black Metalic" over a black full leather interior, comes to market after over ~9.5 years with our vendor. It has only had 3 former keepers, over ~£21,000 worth of spending since 2010, and comes with two keys and its full owner's wallet and booklets. It was last serviced ~700 miles ago and comes with an MOT to November 2025, and has just had a bore score check actioned by independent specialists "JZM Porsche".
This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting Michael the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi Sn0wyuk, to add the ISM has never been mentioned on any health check inspection, which adds to why I have neither considered or received any quote to do such a job
Hi Sn0wyuk, no I’ve never considered it as following issues in the earlier 997.1 models, Porsche resolved this on the 2006 model by introducing a larger bearing.
Hi Michael, did you ever consider/look into replacement for the IMS bearing upgrade?
Hello RMichael – I just wondering what the steering wheel clearance is like as I have a big belly and quite short legs. Do you think I’ll fit?
Hi BPB. Under the History and Paperwork section you’ll find the Bore Scope report from JZM along with a split photo of all 6 cylinders. No low temp thermostat fitted.
Hi, can you shar ethe pics and compressions numbers from the bore score check? Do you know if a lower temp thermostat has been fitted?
