Book Description

The definitive guide to 100% original and correct Porsche 911 restoration, this book covers every inch of each 911 generation in precise detail.  It includes mechanical details, bodywork, interiors, and more, all illustrated with exquisite color photographs and in-depth text.  The last word on the Porsche 911, this book is the resource that no collector--whether a practical restorer or a die-hard enthusiast--can afford to be without.        

From the Inside Flap

The Porsche 911, one of automotive history’s greatest sports cars, has enjoyed an extraordinary career since its 1963launch . It survives today, in much modernized form and now water-cooled, because Porsche’s relentless development has prevented it from ever becoming obsolete—and because passionate enthusiasts continue to embrace it.

Collector’s Originality Guide: Porsche 911 explains in words, photos, and spec charts how the complex 911 has evolved from 1963 to today. Drawing from factory records and technical references, author Peter Morgan provides a wealth of information relevant to any collector, restorer, or avid enthusiast of the 911 and all its permutations.

Production changes, chassis and engine numbers, body colors, options lists, production numbers and more, all the minute details of the 911’s evolution are covered. Over 275 color photos of some of the most pristine 911s, original and restored, provide a visual reference.

Collector’s Originality Guide: Porsche 911 is an indispensable guide for all owners, buyers, restorers, and enthusiasts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Collector's Originality Guide Porsche 911, December 31, 2010

This review is from: Collector's Originality Guide Porsche 911 (Hardcover)
Collector's Originality Guide Porsche 911

While this book is everything one would expect from the title, what should be made clear at the outset is that is a word-for-word reprint of the book "Original Porsche 911" by Peter Morgan originally published in 1995. As far as I can tell, the only things that have changed in this newer edition are the organization of the Table of Contents into chapters, somewhat improved reproduction of the photographs and an easier-to-read font used to caption those photographs.

In other words, if you already own the earlier version it's really not worth the $29 to purchase the reprint.

5.0 out of 5 stars 911 Virgin, June 30, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Collector's Originality Guide Porsche 911 (Hardcover)
I was a first time 911 buyer when I bought this book.
I read it with extreme interest and mounting excitement as I learned to decipher the myriad Porsche 911 models
and the changes during each model run.
I went on to purchase my first 911 with this book tucked under my arm.
Highly recommended to anyone interested in 911's.
