Hello Arpad,

of course you will :-)

I hope that you are happy with your white car...!

I think the turbo-book is more interesting for the fans

because of the never before seen statistics part.

That shouldn't surprise you....Adrian's book is better suited for your coffee table than your shop.

Ordering mine now, signed of course.
But you really should have used a 930 slant on the cover......I'm biased.

While I was researching in the archieve for the new turbo-book ( Porsche 911 Turbo - Air Cooled Years 1975 - 1998), I also met Randy Leffingwell in Zuffenhausen - that was very interesting! If you oder the book directly at the publishing house, shipping is free worldwide and you can get a special signature from the author (me). Andreas Gabriel
I don't read German, but did you also author the Speedster book as well? Congrats on getting the Turbo book published!

Hello David,

the Speedster-Book was my first project! And.....it was so much fun, that the Turbo-Book had to be written (in English).

thanks

The original Porsche data base knows better...!

By the way, I also like coffe-table books - I think I´ll order one!

According to Porsche data base:

1993 and 1994 ROW: VIN up to 0060 (incl) were not used in both years.


So: 590 (1993 ROW) +411 (1994 ROW) = 1001 total ROW

As far as the USA+CND are concerned, the data base includes 406 numbers (466-60). So, according to my calculation the total for both worlds should be 1407.

1407 is correct, you find it on page numer 143, start of the chapter 964 Turbo 3.6 MY 1993 - 1994. You do also find the 964 Turbo 3.3 Convertibles in the statistics-part of this chapter, because they were built in MY 1993. But they are not in the addition of the 1407 Turbo 3.6.

On page 195 you find a text called "numbers, numbers, numbers". Norbert Franz reports about the difficulties with the correct numbers of pieces.
