5.0 out of 5 stars Complete description of the evolution of the Porsche 911, 2 Oct 2000

By	jamesball@mail.com (England) - See all my reviews

The 'Porsche 911 Story' is one of the "Bibles" of the Porsche 911. It offers a complete picture of the evolution of the 911, from its roots in the 356 through to the last of the "true", air-cooled Porsches.

It falls between a mechanic's manual and a photo-filled story of the great car. It finds the middle ground perfectly and is an essential part of any 911 enthusiast's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate bible for 911 enthusiasts, 21 Oct 2000

By A Customer

Although deeply technical in places, this is an excellent piece of work. The attention to detail is superb and Paul Frere really shows a passion for the porsche marque as well the 911 itself. My only criticisms would be the order the book is written and the poor sequencing of illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable and Instructive, 30 Sep 2009

By	D. Stewart (Teddington, Mddx., UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Porsche 911 Story (Hardcover)

Clearly written by someone who really knows his stuff. A really good history of 911 development from the 60s to the modern day and includes lots of fascinating technical detail. There's also a complete section on the car's racing pedigree. Paul Frere explains why Porsche had to abandon the enthusiasts much loved air-cooled engines and embrace water cooling after the last-of-line 993 series. I bought the book as I was looking to buy a 993 or 996 series car and it helped me decide to buy the 996 C4S.
