Do you guys know how many 993 RS were built? Any figures for RHD?

 

From memory 1050 including 70 RHD. Let me know if you need accurate figure as I have them at home.

 

Thanks for your quick reply. Only 70 RHD worldwide, huh?

 

It's of that order, not many. Hence in UK RHD go for £60K versus £40K for LHD!

 

Only asking, is that correct for rhd production? I was under the impression that for the UK market there were 41 RS models and 7 RS Clubsport versions registered.

So if there are 70 rhd RS produced worldwide that would make 22 available for Australia, Japan, Singapore & other rhd markets, they must be a real rarity in these parts.

roygarth do you know your build number i beleive mine is a fairly early car 116 / 1050.

How 'bout organizing a group buy??

wish they were available stateside...

 

I'm taking figures from April 2003 issue of 911&PW. Total built is 1141 of which 48 were RHD sold in UK (implying there were other RHD but it does not say how many) and 274 were Clubsport.

I have build number, which is quite a late number, at work!

 

3 right hookers went to NZ. Anyone have any info on Oz, HK, Singapore allocations? (1 Singapore car is now in NZ)

I would imagine that quite a few would have gone to Japan too, as its quite a 911 haven. However the Japnese prefer LHD exotics, so it would be interesting to find out how many LHD vs RHD cars are there. The impression i got whilst being in japan is that the 993 RS & GT models have almost a cult following.

I saw 1 RHD clubsport in the UK, whilst i was at T9 motorsport a week or so ago. 13K miles, in for a new clutch. Looked like someones track toy from the belt wear on the seats. Had just been purchased and sold on (45K plays 58K.)

Phil...

 

There is at least 3 993 RS's in Hong Kong.
My mechanic told me there was 6 bought in altogether but I do not know his source.

 

Hi MorganB,


Which mechanic services your Porsches?

Only 6 993 RS in HK; well then I can say its a rare item indeed.

 

Hi Phil

What does this mean? Garage had just bought and sold it for £13K profit or.....?

 

Hi Piers

Sorry if my post was confusing. A dealer had purchased the car and then sold it on. When i saw the car it was in for a clutch b4 the new owner received the car.

Hope this clears it up

BR/Phil...

 

Singapore figures:

one white 993 RS with clubsport body kit
one yellow 993 RS with clubsport body kit
one yellow 993 RS with original RS body kit
the blue RS is now in New Zealand

 

Thanks Phil

What joy, to be rich enough to be able to kiss £13,000 goodbye instead of placing a £20 ad in 911&PW!
