The Appeal

The Porsche 911 is still an icon - and one of the most-loved examples of the car, the 997, was a perfect example of evolution rather than revolution. Still carrying the new water-cooled engine necessitated by its predecessor, the 997 saw a return to familiar forms with its bug-eye headlights, boasting an improvement to the suspension and a pop of extra power under the lid. The result became one of the most successful cars in Stuttgart's history.

This example, picked out in the model's near-ubiquitous colour scheme, comes to us in fine order - with a remarkably low mileage, that's proven by the car's MOT history. These endlessly popular cars often drink up the miles, so we'd be willing to wager that this is one of the lowest mileage examples you'll come across.
