2008 PORSCHE 911

2008 Porsche 997.1 Carrera 4S Manual – Hartech Rebuilt Engine | FSH | PSE

For sale: 2008 Porsche 911 (997.1) Carrera 4S, finished in black with 83,300 miles.

A properly sorted, enthusiast-owned example of the 997.1 C4S — wide-body, manual, and with one of the most important upgrades you can have: a full Hartech engine rebuild.

This is the analogue sweet spot of modern 911s — hydraulic steering, compact dimensions, and a naturally aspirated 3.8 flat-six — paired with the security of all-wheel drive and the added benefit of a fully rebuilt engine.

Key Highlights:

6-speed manual

3.8L M97 flat-six

Full Hartech engine rebuild (2024)

Wide-body Carrera 4S

Porsche Sports Exhaust (PSE) – switchable

Bose sound system

Full service history

New MOT

Engine & Maintenance:

The car benefits from a full engine rebuild carried out by Hartech in September 2024 (via Bahnsport) at 78,567 miles — a major plus that addresses known M97 weaknesses (bore scoring, etc.) and makes this a far more usable and confidence-inspiring example.

Since then, the car has been lightly used and maintained regardless of cost.

Condition:

Presents very well inside and out, and drives exactly as a sorted 997 should — tight, responsive, and mechanically strong. No unwanted noises, pulls cleanly, and benefits hugely from the rebuilt engine.

This is not your average 997.1 — it’s a well-maintained, properly sorted car with the big-ticket job already done.

Ideal for an enthusiast looking for a usable modern classic without the usual engine concerns.
