Laravel where not

I need to replicate this query with Eloquent QueryBuilder:

select * from table_name
where type = 'custom_type' 
and not
(
(topable_type = 'Car' and topable_id = 1)
or 
(topable_type = 'Car' and topable_id = 2)
)

The problem comes with the and not part. As far as I can see Laravel does not support "whereNot" functionality.

Edit: Code attempt:

$deleteQuery = Item::where('type', '=', $type);
foreach ($except as $exceptItem) {
  $deleteQuery = $deleteQuery->where(fn($query) => $query->where('topable_type', '!=', $exceptItem->type)->where('topable_id', '!=', $exceptItem->id));
}
$deleteQuery->delete();

Edit2: With Tim Lewis'es help I modified my previous attempt and it's working now:

$deleteQuery = Item::where('type', $type);

foreach ($except as $exceptItem) {
    $deleteQuery = $deleteQuery->where(fn($query) => $query->where('topable_type', $topableItem->type)->where('topable_id', $topableItem->id)
            , null, null, 'and not');
}
        
$deleteQuery->delete();

It doesn't generate exact query as I mentioned above, but pretty similair and it works as expected.

You can do chained where condition

Item::where('type','custom_type')->where(function ($query){
      $query->where(function ($query){
          $query->where('topable_type','Car');
          $query->where('topable_id',1);
      });

        $query->orwhere(function ($query){
            $query->where('topable_type','Car');
            $query->where('topable_id',2);
        });
    },null, null, 'and not')->get();
