Finished in desirable Basalt Black (LC9Z) the car looks the business with its 19-inch OZ alloy wheels and Sports exhaust. The options code inside the service book shows the car to have been specified with black leather interior with 19inch Turbo 3.6 wheels (404) - no longer fitted, rear window wiper (424), automatic speed control (454), top-tinted windscreen (567), Navigation Europe (610), Park Assist (635), phone module for PCM (666), Navigation module for PCM (670), Bose sound system (680), CD changer (692), leather rear seats (936), leather dashboard and door panels (981) and leather front seats.

The history file includes the V5C showing 7-former keepers to our vendor, who purchased the car from us in 2022, the owner’s pack and service book showing it was supplied by Porsche Centre Bolton revealing 8 stamps, the last in April 2021 at 65,018 miles by Welsh Porsche Specialists. In addition, the book contains a further 7 stamps for brake fluid changes, 3 stamps for long life condition reports and 3 for airbag checks.

The file also includes a file of invoices for routine maintenance including a recent £476 spent on a fitment of a replacment starter motor in September 2024 and purchase of starter motor and pair of rear springs  at £520, along with a whopping £10,207 spend at Dave Griffiths Racing of Shrewsbury in March 2022 at 68,007 miles which included new Brembo brake discs all round, new coolant pipes, fronk crank shaft seal, ignition coil, pair of exhaust manifolds, brake lines, output shaft seals, intermediate shaft seal, clutch kit, tandem pump, water pump, dual mass fly-wheel and brake calliper just a couple of hundred miles ago.

With regards the MOT, we see 9 old MOTs plus the current valid until October September 2025 showing no advisories. The file also includes a selection of original Porsche hard back sales brochures.

A smart Gen 1 example, with critically, the later IMS bearing which solves the bearing failure issue as detailed by the Porsche workshop manual and Porsche Owners Club which suggest later 997.1 cars post engine number 68509791 have the larger revised IMS – this example looks to have the later engine and as such the revised IMS.

Ready to be enjoyed, this smart car has the more appealing wider body shape, more powerful S engine with manual ‘box and only 68,270 miles – get involved!!
