HARTECH ENGINE REBUILD
2005 Porsche 911 (997.1) Carrera 4S Coupe
2005 (55) PORSCHE 911 (997.1) CARRERA 4S COUPE 3.8
Manual 6-Speed | Cobalt Blue | Full Hartech Engine Rebuild | Fast Road Setup
An exceptionally well-sorted, fully refreshed, and meticulously maintained 997.1 Carrera 4S Coupe, finished in desirable Cobalt Blue over a Grey full leather interior. Driven by a 6-speed manual gearbox, this example combines the wide-body aesthetic and all-wheel-drive security of the C4S with significant mechanical peace of mind and tasteful chassis upgrades.
Having covered 95,536 miles from new, this 911 has been maintained with an open chequebook approach. Most notably, it underwent a full Hartech engine rebuild at ~53,000 miles (eliminating the intrinsic M97 factory vulnerabilities) and has just passed a completely clear bore scope inspection. Includes a 6-month warranty for ultimate peace of mind.
