930 vs Supersport Production Numbers

[George 500]

Browsing through the latest Silverstone Auctions catalogue was amused to see that in the descriptions for the two 911 Supersport cabs that one is cited as being part of an RHD production run of 16 cars and one of 75...

Howmanyleft doesn't separately categorise them but from an interested bystanders perspective it does seem that there are more open Supersports for sale at any one time than equivalent turbos.

As an aside according to the aforementioned website there are about 60 cab turbos 4spd/G50 either Sorned or taxed in the UK (although presumably some of these could be LHD)

Does anyone have a clearer answer on exactly how many of these wide bodied cabs and targas (turbo and 3.2) were produced in RHD?

And why are the N/A ones so spenny relative to those with added puff?

Thanks guys- had picked up this site from an old post, but was curious

Out of interest, as a turbo owner to a supersport owner, if the cars are no less rare than turbos, why is there nearly zero price differential (given that neither of us have what we are told to drive by so called purists)?

Bonhams are quoting a figure of 129 euro turbo convertibles for 88 which also seems low?

Been doing a bit more digging on turbos and discovered the following:-

Numbers built:

1987

930 ROW Coupe/Targa/Cabriolet = 720/69/142
930 Can Coupe/Targa/Cabriolet = 88
930 US Coupe/Targa/Cabriolet = 1605/87/183
930 US Slantnose = 200

1988

930 ROW Coupe/Targa/Cabriolet = 677/136/242
930 ROW Slantnose = 18
930 US Coupe/Targa/Cabriolet = 701/141/591
930 US Slantnose = 278

1989

930 ROW Coupe/Targa/Cabriolet = 857/115/244
930 ROW Slantnose = 32
930 US Coupe/Targa/Cabriolet = 639/109/600
930 US Slantnose = 147


Focusing on the Cabs and using some auction info it would appear that RoW numbers are as follows for LHD/RHD

'88 LHD 129/RHD 113
'89 LHD 116/RHD 128
