I received my book but I haven't opened it yet. I am planning to give it to myself for Chanukah, because my family rarely gets me anything (which is actually fine with me, but sometimes I buy myself stuff). Can't wait. :-)

 

So 9 days to go! I hope you will like it!

My family got my specific wishes for X-mas gifts in 2019: Gun´s n Roses in Hamburg, June 2020, and Queen + AL Munich June 2020. We´ll see what happens...!

best,
Andreas

 

A limited edition of 1998 copies is too small for Amazon!

Ferry Porsche died on 27 March 1998 in Zell am See.
It was on the same day that the last air-cooled engine for the Porsche 993 was built in Stuttgart Zuffenhausen.

One of Ferry Porsche's last cars was his dark green 993 Cabriolet with its dark brown interior.

While I was working on the book about the last air-cooled 911, it quickly became clear whose name would feature in the dedication.

The design of the book was likewise inspired by Ferry Porsche’s 993 Cabriolet: the colour chosen for the cover was fir green, with coffee brown for the endpaper.

The Porsche 993 marked the end of a 50-year era during which Porsche kitted out its sports cars with air-cooled engines.
And no other model would have been as worthy of bringing this period to a close as the 993.

The authors were eager to create a little memorial to this fascinating sports car to mark its 25th anniversary.
