Have to sell my beloved 997.1 as more frequent commutes necessitate something a bit more sensible. This is a phenomenal weekend / adventure car, but unfortunately I can't justify it as my daily driver any more.
Hartech cars like this don't come up for sale very often, so this is a rare opportunity to skip all the pain and heartache that I've been through and just go straight to the final finished product
Tens of thousands spent in the last few years, covering:
- Full Hartech 3.9 rebuild completed 5k ago by renowned Porsche specialist Dave O Brien. New pistons, crank, rod, bearings, liners, ported & polished heads, new valvetrain, all pulleys & bearings updated. Engine is fully run in and ready for adventure!
