    Mine's free, they just sent it out to me today. On the P "Classic" page they say you can get one at your dealer.... so maybe for regular customers or buy a part or ... The "look" of the book made me want it.

    I'm really hoping these come out good. The write up looks great... but the write up for the hood badge looked great and we all know how that turned out.

    Yeah, that won't work for me. I don't but anything from the dealer here they are way too expensive, always easier and cheaper to buy thru the US

    Apparently there is talk of Porsche maybe making cases again.

    Adam, read that again carefully.
    They apparently had about 100 cases that could be finished. Then they discovered that the "parts of the original technical data that were used to finish them are no longer legible"!!!!
    "The basics of those Group C racer cars' flat sixes are similar to almost any road-going air-cooled 911, meaning what the historic motorsport team learned on the race engines could be applied to finish the manufacture of the blanks."
    In this day and age, how can you lose the technical data?? And, admit that you have done so!

    I wouldn't get too excited about the parts being remade. Most the LWB parts are crap. At least the parts that matter. A new shinny catalog means nothing. All the info is available on line.

    Yeah, but it's Porsche, if they can figure out how to field cars at Lemans from a sawmill in Gmund, they can probably figure out a case spec.
