2 Previous Owners, This lot will be auctioned via Historics Classic and Sportscar Auctioneers at The Pace of Autumn; Ascot Racecourse sale on Saturday 20th September. From a private collection. Three owners from new. Desirable manual example. The sixth generation of the Porsche 911 was dubbed the 997 and introduced in 2005. It retained the previous models 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 4 S which were announced as 2006 models. The 997 remains a worthy model of one of the most celebrated sportscars 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.This example was registered new on 22nd May 2006 and has had just three owners from new. Presented in very good condition, this 911 is offered in black coachwork over a black leather interior and is a desirable manual example. The paintwork is in very good condition with very few blemishes, and the interior is in good order for a car of its age. Offered with a sizeable history file, this lovely example is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. Consigned by Daniel Godin
