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!
My LWBs.....with adjustable lumbar support built in....

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

Thanks! Do you know if the ninth edition (I guess the newest one?) of his Porsche 911 Story with Dron Tony as a co-author is the same as original and just extanded or something completely different with too many pics and a little knowledge?

I’ve got an earlier edition of the 911 Story and believe me, it’s far more knowledge than photos 😉
I’d imagine any updated editions will have the same eye towards detail. But you could always look for an earlier edition too

my 911 of my year of birth

Now that opens a can of worms….I would have to start looking for a pre-production car

Maybe really early

😟 One of the carshow introduction models would fit the bill. A little pricier than a birth year speedy…

Thank you! I've got an eight edition in a secondhand bookshop close to my apartment. That was easy 😀

Hah I love those inserts!

Cups just belong on a 964. One of my favorite combos. Maybe next to some BBS E88's!

rear-wheel drive, mid-engine.
Motor with you in the cockpit.
Absolutely useless but terribly fun!

I've got a ton of car porn sourced from around the 'net over the years. Almost all vintage.

Is that a DB5? As an undergrad and earlier, I WANTED to own one of these iconic Citroens. Great memories...thanks for posting this.
