    Auto Motor und Sport 23.01.1965 Test 911 with translation

    As promised I thought this might be of useful interest, despite being in german, a road test for the 911, issued 23.01.1965 for the 911 . . .

    the translation is delivered as a pdf file at the end.

    best regards from bavaria

    Thank you, i read it in German.
    If you read the text imo one gets the feeling that the only thing Porsche knew how to build was the engine.
    As I wrote elsewhere, designing the car was a "mess", many details were designed by "try and error" and the model name needed to be changed...after the car was officially presented to the public and promotional material already printed...

    Nevertheless, we all know how the story further developed.

    Hi, it's about 6+ meters of shelve. (transl: four piles of 1,5+ meters)
    Would you like to help and point me to it?
    Is it Issue 16 page 25 or issue 17 Page 31 issue 19 Page 24 ..?
    These are the contents.
    With year issue and page I can help a bit more efficient, as I am able to scan some pages at a time, but scanning all will just take ages.

    I've scanned the first "proper" test from issue 17, but it's too large for an upload - here in lower res.

    BTW. 1964, 2nd half of 1965 and 1967 I own twice - will sell them at reasonable price (40€ / year) , but shipping to us won't be cheap due to weight.

    Thanks Uli!
    Will check my notes and get back to you tomorrow. EDIT: Just noticed you updated your post with the first test. I think this is the one I have been looking for! Thanks a lot!
    Hmm, tempting to buy, will get back to you about that also. I have not read German since 9. grade so would be a fun challenge! Maybe shipping would be less of a problem if I also bought a seat???

    Cheers, Radmund

    Sure ... I can add the AMS as padding
    Send me your email and I'll send you the hi-Res scan.
