Introduction

Darren Rungasamy
Automotive Editor, Photographer and Consigner

It might be a 911 for every occasion but it still retains its spirited attitude.

The 7th generation of the 911 dynasty was first unveiled in 2012, offering a typically wide variety of models to uphold the expected level of sophistication and refinement expected from the brand. While easier to drive than ever, the 991 series still maintains a combination of power and a talent for handling with an acceptable cruising economy and a balanced ride. The Carrera S carries over the previous 3.8-litre engine, but combined with the first-ever production car fitted seven-speed manual gearbox makes the 991 a truly engaging drive. Enhanced by contemporary driver aids in unison with the classic flat 6 soundtrack, the 991 maintains the 911's dynamic sparkle.

Porsches look good in yellow, and this 2013 Carrera S is no exception. The faultless exterior combined with a very well kept cabin is matched up with a full Porsche service history with just 4 owners under its belt. The current owner has put in around £6,000 of spending over the last year or so to maintain its exceptional history and this car comes with 12 months of MOT.

This auction listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting David the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

This 991 is one of a long list of Porsches owned by my family.

David caught the Porsche bug at a formative age, thanks to his father's ownership of several classic 911s. The build quality, rear-engined experience and distinctive styling are just a few of the reasons why he'll always have a Porsche in his life.

David came across this well kept 2013 "Racing Yellow" Carrera S at a specialist sports car dealer in 2019, with the manual gearbox and rear passive steering appealing to his emotive side. Used mainly as a fair-weather leisure car, it has always been garaged during his ownership. Following an existing injury to his leg, he has taken the regrettable decision to sell the car. David also would like to say that the car comes with a full tank of Esso Supreme+ too!

David will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the car in the comments below.

Exterior

Finished in Racing Yellow, the hue suits its subtle lines of the 991 to a tee.

Wheels and Tyres

The 20” Carrera classic alloys wheels in platinum with colour crested centres are all in very good shape, with no signs of wear. The tracking has been checked on the wheels too when the tyres were replaced.

The Pirelli P Zero tyres are all in excellent condition, all 4 corners having been replaced less than ~300 miles ago. In addition to this, all 4 tyre pressure monitors were replaced too, Porsche recommending this is carried out every 7 years. View the image gallery to see the detail.

Bodywork

The aluminium panel fit is all seamless, with no issues in regards to the gaps, all doors open and close without effort or obstruction. There are no blemishes on the metalwork, and the car is free from any form of dents or scuffs. The structure is solid, with no issues in regards to the floor pan, inner wings or sills. The lowest sections of the wheel arches look good, with no observation of age-related damage.

We have taken hi-resolution images and videos of the car for you to assess the condition of the bodywork for yourselves.

Paint

The distinctive "Racing Yellow" finish is in very good shape throughout, having been supplied with Williams Paint treatment. There are no signs of fading or discolouration. The finish maintains an even colour match throughout, with no significant signs of age-related swirls.

There are no obvious paint chips on the nose of the car, with both bumpers and door edges appearing to be in excellent shape with no major damage. The images taken are from different angles and reflections to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. Please take the time to fully assess the condition.

Glass and Trim

The glass is all in excellent shape, with no issues in regards to lamination or chip damage. The trim has been well maintained, with the lightest signs of age noted on the lower section of the front plastics.

The headlamps, indicators and rear lenses are clear with no damage or fade.

Interior

Well kept and cared for, the interior is quality personified.

Seats and Carpets

The 14-way electric sports leather seats are all in very good order, with no significant signs of wear with the stitching all intact. There are the lightest of indentations noted but not enough to distract. The carpets are unmarked, with evidence of regular cleaning.

Dashboard

The dashboard is free of any issues and presents exceptionally well, with no damage noted on the facia, with all of the metal, plastic and leather elements in fine shape. There is no wear of the switchgear or controls. Everything functions as expected, including the sat-nav and electric sliding sunroof and air-conditioning which was re-gassed last year.

The car is fitted with the Sports Chrono pack plus, BOSE Surround sound and a BlackVue DR900S 2 channel dashcam with a magicbox, to complement the extensive Carrera S cabin package.

The headlining is presented in excellent condition, with no damage on the door cards. Please see the interior gallery section for more detailed images.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

Both the steering wheel and gear stick condition are aligned to the interior condition of the car, and free from significant wear.

Please see the interior gallery for more hi-resolution images.

Mechanics

This 911 really howls when it is up and running, this being a true to form for Porsche naturally aspirated flat six.

Engine and Gearbox

The car starts up, without any issues and once the condensation clears from the exhausts, the engine settles down and ideals without any undulations or irregular beats. The temperature and oil pressure remains stable at all time, with no warning lights being flagged up at any point.

In the last ~500 miles, the car has had a new clutch, flywheel and a high-pressure pump, all genuine Porsche items. Couple this to the 7 speed manual gearbox and full service history on this example, it is well and truly ready for a new owner to enjoy.

Suspension and Brakes

The car has been subject to a recent brake overhaul, with new Porsche discs and pads fitted throughout. This summarises the car's ability to brake without any drama, with the expected precision associated with a well-maintained 911.

The Drive

This 991 is one the last of the non-turbo cars, which means that the howling soundtrack becomes very evident when the car gathers pace. Technology is at the forefront of the ride, with PDCC active anti-roll bars and variable-assistance steering providing subtle guidance to the driving experience without overwhelming its character. As part of the Sport Chrono package, the car includes technology to automatically double-declutch during downshifts. The rev-matching will automatically blip the throttle during downshifts to match the lower gear’s speed and will always be on in the Sport Plus mode.

Electrics and Other

The warning sign storage box appears to be slightly misaligned in the videos, but the owner has assured us that this has been adjusted to sit straight. The car comes with its jack and inflatable tyre kit.

The car is fitted with the Sports Chrono pack plus, BOSE Surround sound and also a BlackVue DR900S 2 channel dashcam with a magicbox.

History and Paperwork

A full Porsche service history, excellent condition and all important 7 speed manual gearbox make this 991 C2S coupe a very attractive package.

First registered at Porsche Reading, it comes with its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. It has recently seen a set of new Porsche pads and discs carried out by a Porsche specialist. Previous work under David's ownership also includes a new clutch, flywheel and a high-pressure pump, all genuine Porsche parts, carried out by the same garage less than ~500 miles ago.

All of its servicing needs have been carried out at Porsche service centres, with the most recent service carried out 8,000 miles ago. The car has just passed an MOT that is now valid to 26th April 2023.

This car has come with an extensive options list from new; Sports Chrono pack plus, includes rev matching when in Super Sports mode (It’s great), Porsche sports exhaust, PASM with PDCC and rear wheel steering, Enhanced PSM, Power steering plus, Cruise control, 20” Carrera classic alloys wheels in platinum with colour crested centres, Bose surround sound, PCM3 touchscreen SatNav and telephone module, Electric sliding sunroof, Bi-Xenon headlights, with dynamic cornering, 14 way electric sports seats, with position memory, and heated, Dual zone climate control Air Conditioning, Electric folding mirrors, Interior lighting package, Front and rear park assist, Homelink (garage door opener), Auto dimming interior and exterior mirrors with rain sensor, Tyre Pressure Monitoring, Floor mats, Top tinted windscreen, The car was supplied with Williams Paint treatment.

Hi, lovely car. May I ask if it has ever been used on the track or just the road? Also are there any over-rev level events (taking the revs beyond the red line) events recorded on the ECU?
Many thanks
