Just bought myself this for Christmas.

Real insider engineering stuff about one of the major players of recent times (the man behind the 964 cup & RS amongst other things).
Available from Horton's books.

Yes mine came yesterday thought it would have been about different builds like the singer one but is the build story of the pink car still nice piece
Still not a book yet that can hold the candle to the snodgrass G series carrera book deffo the best Porsche book ever produced wish he would produce one on some of the special cars like the 964 RS !! Really does take some beating that book

The RWB book is called volume 1. So who knows Peter, might be a series there.

These books are a bit different. They might not be everybody's cup of tea but I quite like them.

Hi,

As you know I have a huge Porsche book & other special cars collection. These reference books are invaluable,
they are the go to books to check chassis & engine # etc.
I have mixed views regarding the huge increase in values of the air cooled cars, I think the correction is due,
but it makes joining this club much more elite, few will dip the oil stick etc, part of the owner's duty, charm etc.
Of my cars the only ones have modern Metzer engine cars.
Rds,
Jasper
