The White Collection

In the realm of car collectors, individuality is the key to standing out. The enigmatic owner of The White Collection, a stunning assembly of Porsches, has taken this notion to heart. This exceptional assortment comprises 56 nearly exclusively white Porsches, gathered over a decade with unwavering dedication. Ranging from a 1965 coupe to a 2021 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition, the collection spans every decade of the iconic 911's existence, including rare models like the '73 Carrera RS and the '89 Speedster.

Collector's Legacy

Shrouded in mystery, the collector's identity and location have remained undisclosed, adding an aura of intrigue to the collection. The thematic unity of the cars, housed in a white sanctuary, provides an ethereal backdrop for these automotive gems. The collection also boasts non-vehicular treasures, including vintage Porsche posters, steering wheels, and even a comprehensive Microfiche system covering Porsche models from the 356 to the Boxster.

Key Pieces

Among the gems in this trove, the spotlight falls on the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, enhanced with the coveted Weissach package. Adorned in Grand Prix White and Yachting Blue upholstery, this masterpiece, with a mere 12 miles on its odometer, is expected to fetch between $2.5 to $3 million. Equally enticing is the 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8, a race-inspired marvel modified for street use, featuring a distinctive red leather interior and a Le Mans race-spec engine.

A Touch of Diversity

While predominantly white, the collection does feature a few exceptions. A 1959 Porsche 356A Carrera 1600 stands out in a yellowish ivory shade, and a 1979 911 Turbo Coupe flaunts a sandy beige hue. Additionally, a charming 1953 Porsche 356 in burgundy adds a dash of color to the ensemble. These deviations from the dominant white palette demonstrate the collector's appreciation for Porsche's diverse history.

Porsche Memorabilia

Beyond cars, The White Collection offers an array of Porsche memorabilia, from vintage advertising posters and umbrellas to meticulously designed sleds and Rothmans-branded luggage. This auction isn't just a celebration of cars; it's a tribute to the entire Porsche legacy, capturing the brand's essence in every item on offer.

Auctioning The White Collection

On December 1-2, RM Sotheby's will host the auction, unveiling The White Collection to the world. For enthusiasts seeking unparalleled Porsche treasures, this event is a rare opportunity. Whether you're drawn to the elegance of the cars or the nostalgia of the memorabilia, The White Collection's legacy promises a remarkable journey through automotive history.
