Anyone know where I can get a copy of John Starkey's RS book? I've checked with the publishers and it's presently out of print.

John Starkey lists his own book as being unavailable on his own site but try the publishers http://www.veloce.co.uk they list the earlier 4th edition and the leather bound version of the same edition for £350 :shock:

Also try the Porche Club shop

For what it's worth - it's a great read - and for reference on the RS's - R to GT3R has much more information on the chassis than Konradsheim.

The earlier 'R to RSR' is a bit lightweight.

Guys, I'm confused!

I want the book with all the information and records on the 1973 2.7 Carrera RS.

Is this the R-RS-RSR book or is it the R to GT3R book?

R-RS-RSR book is out of print and the UK publishers, Veloce, are not planning a reprint.

Have also just spoken with Mrs John Starkey in Florida!, R to GT3R will be reprinted in the US by the publishers Griffin early next year.

So which is the right one???
