It's hard to believe, but the Porsche 911 was launched well over 40 years ago, as the Type 901 in 1963. Since then, many would-be pretenders to its throne have come and gone, yet the 911 has remained the epitome of the essential sports car, and one of the most desirable vehicles of all time.
So, what are the secrets of the 911's everlasting youth? The answers are simple: superb original design, excellent build quality, and continuous development which has kept the 911 right on the leading edge of sports car design.
Covering the 911's ever-changing specification, race and rally record, and its presence in many of the world's major markets is a huge task, but it's all presented here in definitive detail, along with stunning contemporary photography, in one massive limited edition volume that will readily grace any reference library shelf or connoisseur's coffee table.
'The Book of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911' is written by the highly-regarded and prolific motoring author, and owner of a Porsche 911 himself, Brian Long.
