The sixth generation of the Porsche 911 was dubbed the 997 and introduced in 2005. It retained the previous model's basic profile but drew on the 993 for detailing. In addition, the new headlights reverted to the original bug-eye design. The interior was similarly revised, with strong links to the earlier 911 interiors while at the same time looking fresh and modern. Initially, two versions of the 997 were introduced, the rear-wheel-drive Carrera and Carrera S. In late 2005 Porsche introduced the four-wheel drive versions of the 997, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S which were announced as 2006 models. The 997 remains a worthy model of one of the most celebrated sports cars ever produced and also received a vast amount of positive reviews from the worldwide motoring press, with Jeremy Clarkson, a known detractor of Porsche cars, noting that the 997 will "make love to your fingertips and stir your soul."

The Carrera 4S is often dubbed as the best all rounder in the world of 911's and this is an excellent example, having covered only 48,000 miles. The car is fitted with the Tiptronic gearbox, which makes this four-wheel drive convertible a very refined cruiser and offers a far more relaxing driving experience than its highly strung manual sibling. The understated black over black colour scheme suits the car perfectly, the paintwork is in excellent condition and the interior shows very little signs of ageing. The car has clearly always been cherished and well cared for, having been serviced on average every 6,000 miles, always by Porsche specialists, or main agents. The most recent service was carried out by Maundrell Porsche Specialists in August 2024, they also serviced the car in May 2022, at which point the drive belt was also replaced, just 10,000 miles ago. This 911 is offered to auction with a V5C registration certificate, MoT test certificate valid until August 2025 and a service book containing records of all services carried out on the car.
