Received my copy yesterday. Just glancing through it, unbelievable
information. Very cool addition to add to 914 library.
Grab a copy!

Cheers, Dion

Didn't know about that but thanks to my wife's prime membership it is now on its way!
Some of the pix in the preview section bring back memories from the late 60's and early '70's for sure! Drove an european version from Minneapolis to IA to open the new Porsche/Audi dealership in Cedar Rapids, IA... had the VW covered up on the rear emblem! Still had the Wolfsburg steering wheel though. They needed a volunteer to bring it down from IA- not hard to talk a college kid into that!!

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

Mine is supposed to arrive in a couple days. I'm sure there are some mistakes in there, but even the historical pictures (which will bring back many good memories) will make it worth it!
