Porsche 911 Carrera (997.1) Tiptronic – Basalt Black Metallic – Exceptionally Original Condition

Evolution after evolution, the engineers from Stuttgart have continued to refine the iconic 911. The 997 generation particularly stands out for its authenticity; the reference to the original model from the 1950s is still clearly visible — characterized by the round clear-glass headlights, sloping roofline, and flat rear deck. Over the years, this sports coupé has captured countless automotive hearts. The design comes to life beautifully in Basalt Black Metallic combined with 19-inch Carrera Sport wheels featuring colored Porsche crests. This early 2005 example distinguishes itself not only through its exceptional, accident-free, and original condition, but also with a complete service history and low mileage!

The vehicle in detail

Inside, the black leather interior exudes craftsmanship and quality, with alcantara headlining, black dials, contrasting stitching, and perforated seat centers. The cabin feels fresh, well cared for, and has been perfectly preserved over the past 20 years. Apart from the 5-speed Tiptronic transmission, this is exactly how a purist would prefer their Porsche: black-on-black, no sunroof, rear-wheel drive, and powered by the 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six producing 325 hp and 370 Nm — without turbocharging or direct injection. This engine is renowned for its reliability, low weight (ensuring neutral handling), and strong mid-range torque, making it enjoyable and easy to drive daily.

Highlights from the specification include PASM adaptive suspension, heated seats, Cruise Control, rear ParkAssist, bi-xenon headlights with washers, auto-dimming mirrors, rain sensor, heat-insulating windscreen, automatic climate control, theft alarm [SCM class 3], Sound Package Plus, and a leather sport steering wheel with shift paddles.

The factory-installed Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system includes navigation, Bluetooth phone connectivity, CD player with storage, and a trip computer. The seats feature perforated leather with contrasting stitching, and the backrests are electrically adjustable.

Service History

Serviced at:
19,022 km (06-02-2007), 24,773 km (05-11-2009), 34,762 km (31-07-2012), 55,939 km (07-05-2015), 64,020 km (24-05-2016), 75,466 km (28-03-2017), 85,914 km (27-08-2017), 90,258 km (07-06-2018), 102,660 km (22-07-2021), 107,632 km (10-06-2022), 119,664 km (24-06-2024), and 112,768 km (15-05-2025).

The most recent (minor) service was carried out by specialist MH in Peize, who also performed a pre-purchase inspection and addressed all findings. The water pump, coolant reservoir, various hoses and seals, and shock absorber dust covers were replaced, and the air conditioning was serviced.
The APK (Dutch MOT) is valid until 7 July 2026. The car is fitted with Michelin N2 summer tyres, showing approximately 60% and 50% tread.

In July 2021, specialist RAP performed major maintenance, including multi V-belts, idler pulleys, spark plugs, ignition coils, tandem oil/vacuum pump, and several exhaust and catalytic components. During this service, the original Cruise Control unit was also installed.

Provenance
Originally delivered new for company use by Porsche Headquarters in Stuttgart, with a list price of €106,791.
Imported to the Netherlands by HAI B.V. in Rijnsburg in November 2009 (24,788 km), after which it was privately owned for three years. HAI sold the Porsche four more times (October 2012, May 2016, March 2017, and June 2018). In October 2020, Edward Smit Auto’s took the car in trade, used it briefly for business purposes, and sold it again in July 2021 (102,659 km) to the seventh and current owner.

A detailed Excel file documenting the full history is available on request (for privacy reasons). Both original keys and complete documentation are included.

Condition
Everything functions perfectly. The engine runs smoothly with no smoke on cold start and no leaks.
The car has an accident-free history — only the front trunk lid, right rear quarter panel, and roof were repainted; all other paint readings are original. The brake calipers and wheel hubs have been refinished, including new decals. The paintwork has been professionally polished and ceramic coated. The wheel rims have been CNC-machined and polished, presenting as new. The exterior is free of noticeable scratches or dents, and stone chipping is minimal.
