Thanks for the teaser, Ole

Once the book is printed/available I will order through a bookshop local to me.
…Knowing them they might want to order a few extra

Cheers,
Harm.

Looks awesome.
The 924 with the 917 long tail is amusing.

I am looking forward to read the book.

937. No other Porsche model uses an additional digit to determine a RHD version. If so a 930 turbo would be 931? A 996 would be 997, but thats the later 911? 932, 938, 952 only determines a handful of RHD specific parts, not determining the model number for the whole car.

I have an estimated arrival date of 4th November on my book order

Well done! That sounds like a way better deal
For now, here are some pages to soothe your time:
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=rzJKBQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

Beware: there is a limited time window based on your personal IP adres.
Overtime pages you've watched too long won't reload.
Cheers!
