SUMMARY

Combining the highly regarded Mezger engine with the increasingly scarce six-speed manual gearbox, this 997-generation Porsche 911 Turbo represents one of the most compelling modern-era 911 propositions. Presented in an understated and timeless Basalt Black Metallic colour scheme with a desirable factory specification and reportedly supported by a relatively solid maintenance history, it offers a particularly appealing example of the model. Equally capable as a continent-crossing grand tourer or a deeply rewarding B-road performance car, it would make an exciting addition to any collection of analogue-era modern classics.
