Anything by Paul Frere is a good place to start.

·That will teach about wischening, but is that still a requirement to understand with modern Porsches?
Well it'll help with the historical aspect for sure, as well as cover the most important models. For modern Porsche, I couldn't say where to go. The most important modern Porsche (the Cayenne) is only 20 years old though, so I don't know if any truly in-depth books have been written yet.

·Totally undeniable! I always argue that with the so called purists.
I WANT Porsche to keep building Cayennes, Macans, Panameras etc.
It is what is funding their building of the good shit! Lol.
Except I would without hesitation daily a Sport Turismo if I could swing it.

·Thanks! I'm not interested in modern Porsches. Even more I'd like to get some knowledge not only on 911 which is obviously a legend but those 944, 924 or boxters which still seems to be affordable start in Porsche but can give a lot of satisfaction.
Don't forget the 928. I don't speak about 902 and 959 because money is money.

The 928 is in a different category of cost to restore and maintain, it’s one of the few cars that can be worse than a BMW e31 in that sense. The 4 cylinders are a lot less trouble, but I’ve seen a divorce happen over a 928.

Paul wrote at length about the history of the company and the 911 in particular, but I don't think much was written about the transaxle cars unfortunately

·That’s pretty much the exact spec I’d get in ice green or Porsche racing green, the 18-way comfort seats get a lot of hate from purists but it’s by far the better choice if you’re going to drive and enjoy it, I literally can’t squeeze my wide self into the uncomfortable LWBs. It’s sad that a lot of people also feel that way but buy LWBs out of fear over resale value.
Absolutely beautiful, hope you enjoying putting lots of miles on it!
