I also know at one stage that ha had a 996 turbo S in white, don't know if this is the car in the previous comments but if my memory serves me correct it was bought down from Queensland and was put up for sale a few years ago, I think Lorbek had the car for sale, i only realised that it was the ex's fathers car from the number plates.
Leading evidence: 'ex's fathers car' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'ex's fathers car' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it).

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All,
I'm in the market for a 996 turbo and am lusting after one in white. Do any of you wise souls know how many, if any, were delivered to Australia? I'm ok with Cab or Coupe.
Thanks!
I have a memory of seeing one up for grabs(bit of a unicorn looking in the rear view mirror- 3.5 years back, advertised for circa $120k in Sydney, tastefully modified (rims were a key standout and genuine S badge to boot. On reflection, best bang for buck 996tt over the journey of keeping an eye open on the market for about 4 years. Genuine factory white, wasn't too sure? But then, 996gt3's were about 20-30k less and 5 digits to garage one all in if you were into silver or black
@ café racer, Just a view but you'll be lusting for a while for one that's in good nick if your after a manual, let alone manual plus white. Me thinks the closest bit of factory white you will see on a aud delivered 996tt is around the dial gauges.
Matching white hardback seats do look the goods on a white 996tt with black interior and white center console, black turbo rims and white calipers
Hey all, thanks for the replies, think my best bet may be to not worry about the colour and focus on the condition. I can always have it wrapped which means the original paint will be kept in good condition under the wrap!
That white one was a repaint, there are no Aust delivered white 996 turbos as far as I know.
Thanks Steve, I'm still in two minds about selling but you never know.
Nor have I. Nor a Turbo S (none originally delivered here ) nor, in lieu of the rarest occasion, a 996.1 or 2 carrera .... only a fingerfull of 996.1 gt3's in white seem the most common ... interesting for a rarish vehicle
Hi guys, i know of one genuine 996 Turbo in white delivered into Australia. It was delivered by Porsche Centre Melbourne.
It was a factory order car in white and delivered to my ex girlfriends father, he traded in his white 993 turbo.
I don't know what has happened to the vehicle unfortunately he has passed away now.
I also know at one stage that ha had a 996 turbo S in white, don't know if this is the car in the previous comments but if my memory serves me correct it was bought down from Queensland and was put up for sale a few years ago, I think Lorbek had the car for sale, i only realised that it was the ex's fathers car from the number plates.
Don't know if that helps.
