Received my copy yesterday. Just glancing through it, unbelievable
information. Very cool addition to add to 914 library. Grab a copy! Cheers, Dion Attached thumbnail(s) |

Well, hate to be a killjoy but several glaring errors upon skimming the book makes it rather disappointing to me. Specifically Pg. 60 shows a pair of SWB A-Arms and describes them as "New stronger front lower wishbones..." Same page depicts a stock 911 T piston described as "Domed piston and ..." On page 57 " On racing versions the handbrake consisted of a small simple lever placed between the seats , which activated the brakes by hydraulics" It depicts a master electrical switch. Errors like this really detract from the books credibility and is certainly not on par with outstanding books like "Carrera 2.7" by Ryan Snodgrass. However the historical photos are a bonus and probably make the book worth buying, beyond that it's questionable resource at best. Porsche - The Racing 914's - deserves a redo
