I need to wait until after Christmas, too. The better half always has many Porsche surprises for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm going to move ahead with this. I will contact everyone that had expressed an interest after I secure the inventory on Monday. If anyone else is interested, let me know.

If any of you ordering the Excellence was Expected second edition, and you have a chance to read or look atthe first printing, a single volume. Do so.
It is very informative as is the second edition.
Iwas able to get the New printing at the Ventura German Autofest and had all of the editions signed by the author, Karl Ludvigsen.
$175.00 cash and carry.
A very nice xmas present for any Porsche afficianado.

Hi everyone. I haven't forgotten about you.

Last Monday, I committed to a very large quantity of these. On Wednesday, while I was travelling, I got a call and was told that the current remaining inventory is being allocated. It seems that this edition has proven to be very popular and Bentley is not printing them again until later in the Spring.

So, where do we stand? I don't know yet. I've been told that the allocation decisions are being made today or tomorrow. I might get one, or one hundred, or zero. However, whatever I am allocated, my share will go to the folks from the 914Club first.

I'll let you know. Hopefully soon.

thanks for the update !

i have a certified First Edition of the original, so i'd really only be interested in another first edition; let me see what i can do through my company contacts with Bentley, and if that works for me, you can apply my unit to one of those "come-lately's" :-)

edit update: our order doesn't go in to Bentley until Friday, so if you have a confirmed allocation before that, go for it, and i'll cancel my "internal" order. and i have no confidence we'll even be able to achieve the Amazon price - although we do a consistent business with Bentley for VW and Audi diagnostic workshop manual CD's ...

Guys, I really need to apologize to everyone on this for getting your hopes up. But, it looks like I got yanked around. I found out that I have received an allocation of zero. It seems that someone with much more clout than I got the entire remaining inventory. The funny thing is the entire inventory went to Wal-Mart. (Wal-Mart? Is that where they sell wall stuff?)

Sorry and please accept my apology.

Paul

they don't have stock either, sounds like they're hoping for the same allocation Paul didn't get ...

I've been monitoring inventories and if you act quickly you may be able to get a deal.

As of 8:12am EST on Saturday, December 6th, WorldPac has one copy of Porsche: Excellence Was Expected in stock. I ran a quick price search and you could order this one from EAS and pay a total of $149.01, shipping is included.

Here is their link. Enter Z1001-132413 in the part number search box to get there quickly. Good luck. Let us know if you get it.
