RS colour...

[richyrich]

Any opinions on white as an RS colour would be appreciated. Resale, aesthetics etc. Any pics of white cars would be greatly apreciated. Cheers, Rich.

Chris Harris tested a white 993RS for GT Purely Porsche a year or so ago, I thought it looked fantastic, and it would certainly stand out from the usual blacks, speed yellows and riviera blues.

It would certainly sell quickly in Japan!

I tried to buy a white CS, but missed it...probably my favourite colour with the RSR bodykit, as it relates to the cars motorsport heritage.

White seems to be "in" at the moment anyhow, quite a few new sports car buyers are choosing the colour from Golf Gti to 97 Gt3 and top end Lambos.

As these cars get rarer colour is less important than overall condition and documented history.

Thanks. Does anyone have a link with pics of white RS ?

Have a look at this thread, Des posted a picture of a white CS that used to be in the UK.

I have only ever seen 1 example of a white regular 993 RS myself, surely more out there, but really rare, if that is what you have to have, you will join the many potential RS owners waiting forever for the right colour car to arrive and that doesn't even consider the condition it may be in.

I'll scan the Chris Harris article over to you RR if I remember to bring it in to work tomorrow......white car looks great against miserable Welsh weather.

and it would certainly stand out from the usual blacks, speed yellows and riviera blues.

.......riviera isn't exactly USUAL but appears to be more common than weiss....and yes I am in love with riviera

I hope this works as I've not tried pasting a picture in before. Below should appear a picture of the white RS featured in the Chris Harris article (the Jan 2006 issue of GT Purely Porsche). If I remember correctly it was for sale at the OPC in Bristol at around the time the ad appeared - I filched the photo from the OPC website in about Nov '05 as I thought the car looked so good in white. I forget what it was for sale for and the article doesn't say.

Car looks great, many thanks!

The white cars look stunning,i believe there are 2 rhd cars in the uk,the car in the photo i inspected and drove last year for a prospective new owner,got to say,probably the best standard 993rs i have ever driven.The new owner was very happy with the car,it was a concern of his on re resale value for a short period of time because its white.There was certainly alot of interest in the car at the time of sale.
