Read "Excellence was Expected" by Karl Ludvigsen - great book, covers all the bases from company inception to current day more or less.

Just interested in the history? Or are you thinking about buying? For history, agree with the above comment. Otherwise, I could make some recommendations.

thanks, buying would be a dream come true, in the meantime I'd like read details about the model range, pre-A, A, B, C, their relationship to the technical programs T-5, T-6, the different engines, 1500, 1600, 1600 Super, Super 90, Carrera GS, GT; of course I'll never afford a 4 cam Carrera, but love to read about the 356 cars.
