DESCRIPTION:
Describing the full history of this timeless sports car, this classic book is brought right up to date in a totally redesigned ninth edition that includes details of the models produced since 2006. Rather like the car it describes, the evergreen Porsche 911 Story continues to delight marque enthusiasts of all ages, having been originally published in 1976 and having remained in print ever since, through eight editions. The Porsche 911, introduced in 1963, is still the world’s favorite high-performance sports car. Respected motoring journalist and Porsche expert Tony Dron picks up the torch to update this definitive work by the late Paul Frère.

Mr. Frere's writing style is easy to read while containing vast amounts of detail and content. If I had one criticism or suggestion, it would be to rewrite the book in one cohesive style. Since the book has gone through 6 editions, the information on the later cars has been patched onto the
Victory Lane, January 2007 “This book is chockfull of drawings, photos, stories, charts, specs, all told by one who is one of the top sports car racers … If you could only have one 911 book, this is it!”
