Default How many RHD 993 Turbos's built?

I own a 1996 993 Twin Turbo, standard 408BHP. I'm very curious to find out how many Right Hand Drive 993 Turbos were built during the cars production.

Can anyone answer this question?

Well, I own one, and I met a guy today with a silver 993TT-S... turns out he lives within five minutes of me... what are the chances of that?

Sorry... really not very helpful... I'll shut up now and let the 'guys' do their work...

I have the info somewhere but not to hand......
Mike Connell's reference handbook states there were 375 993tts (408/430PS) and 33 993ttS (450PS) registered in the UK along with 7 GT2s so there is a start on RHDs

There is/are few in HK and Aust. Not sure how many but you would need to add at least 20.

Thanks for the response everyone.

4,415 RHD's Red Rooster? Thats interesting. Also interesting that there were only 7 GT2's, so rare.

My red book says only 3736 ROW Turbos and GT2's but does not say how many RHD ones. Geoff, I am interested to know how the 4415 was worked out

I just did a quick add as no one else was answering !

Aug 94 - July96 78

Aug 95 - July 96 2,484 + 1,357 USA + 202 GT2

Aug 96 - July 97 972 + 1046 USA

Aug 97 - July 98 739 + 30 Cup + 21 GT2

That looks like 6,899 + 30 Cup cars.

Geoff
