The White Collection of Porsches to be Auctioned

13

RM Sotheby’s is set to auction a significant collection of Porsche sports cars in Houston this early December. Known as the White Collection, it was meticulously gathered by an undisclosed enthusiast. This impressive assembly features 63 vehicles, 56 of which are Porsches, all finished in white. These vehicles, predominantly in their original state with low mileage, are joined by a duo of Porsche tractors (not white) and an assortment of Porsche memorabilia and components.

The collection is housed in a bespoke white room, a climate-controlled environment with a high ceiling and reflective flooring, which will double as the auction’s venue.

Overview of Porsche 718

The auction’s highlights include a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder in a custom Grand Prix White hue, complemented by magnesium wheels in the same color and a striking blue leather interior. Originally delivered to the White Collection by Porsche of North Houston, this car boasts over $96,000 in custom features, including the Weissach lightweight package, and shows a mere 12 miles on the odometer.

This collection also boasts two variants of the 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7—both a Touring and a Lightweight model—as well as the scarce 1994 911 Turbo S X85 “Flat-Nose,” one of only 39 built for the U.S. market with the iconic pop-up headlights in the twilight of the 964-generation 911.

The White Collection’s Porsche Lineup

The collection spans nearly every noteworthy 911 model, including a 993-generation GT2 and a 2016 911 R, a model highly prized by enthusiasts that quickly reached over $1 million in the pre-owned market soon after its release. The lineup also includes a variety of other Porsche sports cars, from several 356 models to a 1970 914/6, as well as front-engine models like the 924, 944, and 928.

Several cars are anticipated to fetch seven-figure sums, with the 918 Spyder expected to command the highest bid, estimated between $2.5 million to $3 million. The 993 GT2 is also predicted to draw significant interest, with an estimated value of $2 million to $2.2 million. Unlike the Ferrari barn find collection auctioned by RM Sotheby’s at the 2023 Monterey Car Week, all the Porsches in this collection are in pristine condition.

The auction is scheduled for December 1-2.
