Apprenticed to Porsche/VW in 1965, the vendor has owned various Porsches and was formerly the proprietor of a high-performance garage in South East London, continuing to work on Porsches until his retirement. In 2019, he gave his wife this left-hand drive 911 as a Christmas present. The mileage total when acquired was 48,545 (see Ramus Porsche working logbook showing build data) and is currently 56,699.

The Porsche comes with a file of history, including details of a major service in January 2024 when the spark plugs were replaced; front axle and gearbox oils changed; and the inner front driveshaft boots renewed. In July 2024 the hood's clamshell motor drive cable unit was changed, while in November a minor service was carried out and the lambda sensor replaced (at 56,050 miles). The Porsche is road duty paid in Spain and has an EU Certificate of Conformity stapled to the service book's inside front page. It is presently SORN'd and a fresh MoT test certificate will be supplied. Additional history includes confirmation of service visits to Porsche UK in 2010 (two-year service interval), 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015. The car was imported into the UK circa 2018. A UK MoT dated 16.12.2019 records the mileage as 48,976, and there are also Spanish tests from 2020 to 2025 with mileages. The mileage was 53,466 when the most recent UK MoT was issued on 03.01.2024. Also on file is an invoice from Ramus for pre-delivery inspection repairs advised to cost £2,056, together with various invoices attached to Spanish ITV for parts purchased.

The car has been sent to a 4-wheel drive auto expert to rectify a small oil leak from the gearbox, which is an engine out job and a thorough repair of the gear box at a cost of roughly £4600, a general service was carried out at the same time. Please also note that the sound system has the intermittent fault that the Type 997 911 is widely reported to have, and will require a new 2025 dashboard head unit. (Removing the F9 fuse and reinserting gets it going.) 'Fast road' engine mountings were fitted this year, but the vendor has since reverted to the standard mounts (the 'fast road' mounts are included). Offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.
