SERVICE HISTORY

• This 911’s most recent maintenance was carried out in January 2026 at 91,255 miles by Performance Porsche Klassiker Ltd, which consisted of an engine oil and filter change, a new pollen filter, all fluids being topped up as required, a new offside front brake pipe, replacement front to rear brake pipes, four new calliper brake pipes, and a new battery.
• In March 2021, Porsche specialist Revolution removed the bank 2 cylinder head to investigate an oil leak. It was found that the tappet carrier bolt was missing and others were loose. It was also found that cylinder 6 had scoring. As a result, bank 2 was stripped, sleeved, and fitted with new pistons.
• Other notable maintenance includes a single row IMS retrofit being carried out in October 2019.
