The Complete Book of Porsche 911 – Every Model Since 1964

The name, Randy Leffingwell, will be familiar to most Porsche enthusiasts. Leffingwell worked in Kansas City, Chicago and for the LA Times as a photographer and writer for more than two decades. In ‘95 he began a career as a full-time author and has since then published more than 50 books on most car makes. I have several books by this author covering the Porsche 911 so I jumped at the opportunity to review this new title covering every model since 1964.

The first twenty-odd pages of the book cover the 911’s predecessors and prototypes which is handy for the reader, as it sets the scene for the forthcoming 901/911 model. Thereafter, the author launches into the vast 911 family tree providing the reader with an in-depth coverage of both the air-cooled cars (from 1963 to 1998), and their water-cooled siblings right up to the latest 992-generation 911.
