Default My 993 book

If any 993 owner wishes to register to be advised when my 993 book goes into print please use this link and do so.

http://www.veloce.co.uk/shop/product...hValue=Porsche

One has to click on the front cover to obtain information about the book and to say you are interested.

If the link stops short the other way is to go to www.veloce.co.uk type in Porsche in the search. Go to the second page scroll down and click on the cover.

Ciao,
Adrian.

That is great Adrian! I just registered. A note though when signing up..when you click on the notify me button then it asks you to set up an account. once you do that you need to go back and re do the notification as apparently it does not happen automatically.

No it is being published in the UK but will be distributed worldwide.
No the book is not written for the UK audience it is written for every 993 owner no matter where in the world you live. Just like my 964 book.
Every model year, every model and every version is covered down to the tiniest possible detail I could dig up and find out. Metric and US measurement systems used. Every kW is converted to HP. Every Kg to Lb etc etc.
Spelling is Australian
The majority of contributors were Americans and Rennlisters. However I have stuff from all over the world covering from serial number 008 in model year 1994 to one of the last model year 1998 C4s delivered. LHD and RHD.
When will it go to print? It is scheduled to be available sometime in August 2005. I am not finished with the art work yet but I am very hopeful we will make the deadline.
Ciao,
Adrian.

"This book about the Porsche 993 is the third of a planned six covering a range of Porsche models. This book carries on the tradition established with the author’s first Porsche 911 book (Robert Bentley) which covered the 964 series. Contains absolutely everything a 911SC owner needs to know."

The synopsis contains this wee flaw, you might suggest they correct it...

Looks great. I'm a big fan of the 964 book.
