Well, I can say one thing with certainty, white on a 993 is uber rare.

That's not the only rare thing at Hendon Way Motors.

I'm looking at the car not the dealer!! I know there's some bad press about them, but have you guys actually dealt with them?

Anyway, does anyone know about the car? ;-)

Suspect it didn't leave the factory white......

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my original post. We went to see the car today and it looks good. I can't tell for certain if it was originally white, but nothing made me think it wasn't. All seemed legit with the only gap being they didn't have the V5 (just a photocopy).

I'm keen not to let rumour sway my verdict on the car and would get an inspection anyway. However, the dealer does seem to stir up strong opinions that are hard to ignore.

Make a note of the owner on the V5 and deal with them directly.......

OP

Did you check the label under the bonnet to see if it was a C16? I'm pretty sure most of the white and guards red went over to Japan

[hornetrider]

Did the car have a price documented anywhere when you saw it? Or do they just pluck a figure from the ether?

Yup, C16. And service booklet matched.

No - they only told us over the phone and in person. They did write the price down whilst we were there though.

Not suggesting that it's a SOR car and you contact the seller directly, that would be poor form...

Coolio, 993 in white looks great, and pretty damn rare in UK spec.
