A book of Porsche photography and engaging conversation from an automotive writer with a personal passion for the luxury sports car. Herein light falls on sculpted metal and paint—shiny and less shiny. Throwing off the conventions of Porsche purism, yet at the same time always respecting the origins of Porsche, and the status of the 911, this is a book that celebrates the engineering and the design language of Porsche amid its culture. From an "oily-rag" 356 to old 911s and new 911s, with a brief alighting upon other cars of the Porsche clan, this is an eclectic collection of enthusiasts' "moments" captured across a British Porsche landscape.
