RM Sotheby’s will present the world’s most extensive and exclusive collection of limited-production Porsche 911 Type 964 variants when the company returns to Florida as the official auction house of the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, March 10.
Aptly named “Exclusively Porsche – The 964 Collection,” the group of 11 Type 964s (and one 930) was assembled by a single collector, an avid Porsche enthusiast, and comprises the last of the truly hand-built Porsches, yet the first production models with coilover suspensions, power steering, and ABS brakes. The collector also sought out the finest examples of all the 964 “specials” — high-performance cars either built or modified in limited quantities by Porsche’s Exclusive department.
The collection is led by an essentially brand-new, never raced 1993 Carrera RSR 3.8, finished in very rare paint-to-sample Ferrari Yellow. One of just 45 built, its odometer shows a mere 765 kilometers. There’s also a one-of-55 1993 Carrera RS 3.8, in mint condition with less than 7,000 kilometers, and a pair of very rare “flat nose” variants, the Turbo S X83 “Flachbau,” one of just 10 ever built, and a U.S.-production Turbo S X85 “Flachbau,” one of just 39.
The collection also includes a 1991 Carrera Cup model and the following cars all being sold without reserve: a 1994 Turbo 3.6; a 1994 Speedster; a 1991 Turbo 3.3; a 1992 Carrera RS; a 1989 Turbo “Flat Nose” Coupe; and a 1993 Carrera RS America.
RM Sotheby’s 20th anniversary Amelia Island sale will present approximately 100 of the most sought-after automobiles at the Ritz-Carlton on March 10, ranging from coachbuilt classics to sports and racing rarities and late model collectibles.
