About this title

Review

I guess there's no need to say that any Porsche enthusiast welcomes a book like this and will enjoy it to the full extent ... this book is extremely useful as a research tool for the purist, or just as a pleasant and interesting read for the others. --Liebe zu Ihm (love for Porsche)

a handsome reprint of Tony Cortlett's 2005 book on the 3.2 Carrera. It's a history, a technical record, and a love letter to what many believe was the last 'true' 911 ... recommended for any 3.2 Carrera enthusiast. --All Torque magazine

This is as thorough [a] compendium of the 3.2 as you are likely to find ... an invaluable reference for owners and aspiring owners --Kieron Fennelly
