Story from Jam Press (Rare White Porsches) Pictured: 2015 Porsche 918 'Weissach' Spyder. Rare Porsche to sell for £2.48million... and has only done 12 miles A rare Porsche is tipped to sell for £2.48million at an auction and it only has 12 miles on the clock. The 918 Weissach Spyder model, which can go 214mph, was made in 2015. It works out that it has done just 1.5 miles per year. It is among nearly 46 white Porsches that are going under the hammer at the same time. Eleven, in other colours, plus other toys, bikes, and posters are part of the RM Sotheby’s White Collection. Even two Porsche tractors are up for grabs. In total, the 556 lots are set to sell for £22.3million. The 918 Weissach Spyder, which boasts a 0-60mph for just 2.2 seconds, is dubbed the “crown jewel” of the auction. Brand new, eight years ago, it was worth £852,000, but it had £80,000 worth of bespoke add-ons. It means it has nearly tripled in value in that time. Only 918 of them were ever made and have had one owner based in Houston, Texas, US. A Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “With just 12 miles on its odometer, this is certainly among the lowest-original-mileage Porsche 918s available. “And it offers an unrepeatable opportunity for the serious Porsche collector to acquire an entirely one-off specimen of the model directly from the treasured ownership of one of Porsche’s most highly regarded customers.” Also among the white Porsches up for sale, is a 1993 911 Carrera RSR 3.8 which is estimated to fetch £2million. A 1997 911 GT2 is likely to go for £1.8million. A 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight and 1994 911 Turbo S X85 'Flat-Nose' will both be sold for about £1.65million. The auction takes place in Houston ending on 2 December. Gord Duff, Global Head of Auctions, at RM Sotheby’s, said: “To truly comprehend this collection's depth, one has to understand the secondary Porsche market. “Paint-to-sample supercars and classic sports cars in original

The auction takes place in Houston ending on 2 December.

Gord Duff, Global Head of Auctions, RM Sotheby’s, said: “To truly comprehend this collection’s depth, one has to understand the secondary Porsche market.

“Paint-to-sample supercars and classic sports cars in original condition have seen their values skyrocket, a consistent pattern in our sales.

“These vehicles, which show high originality and remarkably low mileage, are among the most sought-after Porsche sports cars in the current market.

“With the global demand for Porsche and the unique chance to buy these cars, The White Collection promises to be another unparalleled event for RM Sotheby’s.”
