Porsche 911
Buy a Porsche 911. Say the spec, not just the model.
A 911 is defined by its generation, variant and options. Tell Tailyr the specification in your own words and it finds who has it, on the market or off it.
Say it the way you would say it
911 terms, in plain English
| Model or term | What it is | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Generations | From the 964 and 993 to 996, 997, 991 and 992 | Each generation differs in character, running costs and values |
| 993 | The last air-cooled 911 | Originality, history and condition command a premium |
| 996 | The first water-cooled 911 | Have a specialist inspect the engine and review known issues |
| GT3 and GT3 RS | Track-focused naturally aspirated variants | Usage history, accident history and options |
| Touring | A GT3 variant without the fixed rear wing | Confirm it is a genuine Touring car |
| Sport Chrono (Chrono Pack) | Dashboard stopwatch and driving-mode functions | Confirm it is fitted, not just claimed |
| PTS | Paint to Sample, a factory-commissioned colour | Evidence from the build sheet |
| PCCB | Ceramic composite brakes | Condition and replacement cost |
| Extended leather | A leather interior option | Availability varies by generation and model year, so confirm against the car's build |
Before you buy: the checks that matter
- Match the VIN and options to the build sheet.
- Check the service history from Porsche centres and specialists.
- Have a 911 specialist inspect the car, particularly engine and gearbox for the generation.
- Check for accident repair and paint depth.
- Confirm option claims such as Chrono Pack and extended leather are fitted and original to the car.
- Check ownership, finance and VAT status.

Questions, answered
What should I check when buying a Porsche 911?
Match the VIN and options to the build sheet, review the full service history, have a 911 specialist inspect the car, and check for accident repair.
What is the Chrono Pack?
Chrono Pack is shorthand for the Porsche Sport Chrono Package, with a dashboard stopwatch and driving-mode functions.
Which model years had extended leather?
Availability of extended leather and similar options varies by generation and model year, so confirm against the specific car's build rather than relying on a listing. Tailyr checks the specification you want against the car on offer.
What does PTS mean?
PTS means Paint to Sample, a factory-commissioned colour outside the standard palette.
Can Tailyr find a specific 911 that isn't listed?
Yes. Partners list cars on the network, and for cars that aren't listed, Tailyr's Elite Specialists can source them.
