Overview

From the company's earliest days in the 1930s, the book gives a brief history of the glorious Auto-Union Grand Prix cars designed by Prof Porsche before detailing the miseries and triumphs of the company in the aftermath of war. Throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, Porsche struggled to survive, but unshakeable faith in the design of the 356 led to success in both circuit racing and rallying. The majority of rallying successes during the 1950s were largely achieved by privateers, without help from the factory. Ferry Porsche in particular considered it more important to build racing cars for circuit events, while wealthy enthusiasts clearly enjoyed proving the true versatility of these VW-derived cars by using them in international rallying. With the advent of the 911 in 1964, Porsche had produced a car with the potential to win sporting events at all levels, but it took until 1967 for this to be demonstrated. With its superior traction on slippery surfaces the 911 would go on to win the Monte Carlo Rally, and other significant international events, many times, while at the same time taking class honours in the Targa Florio, Le Mans 24 Hours and other great classics. In the 1970s, when it seemed that more sophisticated rivals would bury the 911's rallying career for ever, the car made several comebacks, even winning the Paris-Dakar Raid in the 1980s. The 911's sporting record speaks for itself, and demonstrates that the car designed by Butzi Porsche - work began on the project as early as 1959 - is the finest and most versatile of all sports cars. Meredith's book is written with affection, appreciation and authority - and criticism where it is due - and will make an invaluable addition to any rallying or Porsche enthusiast's library.

The book is packed with period photos, although not necessarily in chronological order. In all there are over 400 and 1 particularly enjoyed the copious number of early 911 shots. I may be in the minority in actually liking the 914 when it was launched, but I well remember my excitement at the prospect of these mid-engined machines competing on the Monte Carlo Rally in 1971 was tempered by reading in Autosport that Waldegard wasn't impressed. This is all covered in detail and makes fascinating reading - again amply illustrated with period photographs. The section on Bohringer and Wutterich's amazing performance on the 1965 Monte with the 904 similarly is covered in detail not usually seen photographs. One criticism is a several of the picture captions are a little vague and many actually referring to the incorrect year (which at least can clearly be ascertained from the rally plates), but generally the wealth of photos is a real plus. New Zealand Classic Car, September 2008 NZ magazine As much a history of Porsche as a history of Porsche's rallying exploits, this new book from noted German car expert, Meredith, covers everything from the early Gmund cars through to the later 914/6, 904 and 911 rally cars - although the larger part of the bookcovers the 356. The book is well written and fast paced, and it is obvious the author is a Porsche fanatic - probably a little too obvious when he attempts to defend the handling of those rear-engined Porsches and, in some cases, he even manages to contradict himself several times over in the space of a single chapter. However, none of this detracts from the book- which is an absolute mine of Porsche rallying lore. The photographs alone make this a worthwhile purchase - who couldn't resist the sight of a Porsche 356 attacking the Stelvin Pass during the Monte? If you want to know more, log onto YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9MIw5XBqtw) and you'll find a video of the author discussing this book. Australian Classic Cars, May 2008 Review by Col Gardner Australian magazine Circulation: unknown Driving any car up the famed Stelvio Pass is pure excitement, even more so if it's a rally prepared Porsche 356. Classic rallying enthusiasts know that Italy's Stelvio is the highest paved mountain pass in Europe. It was a 'must' in the Monte Carlo rally, and photos of a 356 storming up the pass bring joy to any Porsche fan. Meredith's work covers the Porsche's rallying history around the world. It starts with the early Gmund-built cars, moving on to the 356, through to the four-wheel-drive 911s and derivatives as well as the 914/6. I particularly like the inclusion of the 904 built specifically for 1964 and 1965, as well as the 911 specially prepared for the 1968 London-to-Sydney Marathon. Also of interest, especially to historians, is the presence of Vic Elford throughout the book. Many now regard this British racer as the most successful driver to ever sit behind the wheel of a Porsche. While I found this publication engaging and fast-moving to read, I particularly liked the over 400 black-and-white and color photos, especially those from the 1950s. Highly recommended.

He begins at the beginning of Porsches production of automobiles just after World War Two and gives us a loving history of the cars and the men behind the cars as they were developed. This hardbound volume has more than 250 pages with over 400 photos both color and black and white that show off the privateer and factory rally machines. Though not highly technical, the book has plenty in the way of specs and mechanical information to satisfy most of us motorheads. The author's soft spot for the 550's and 904's, Porsches more focused street/competition machines is evident in that he devotes 22 pages to these two models. These were Porsches wildly successful sports racers and were dominant at nearly all the track events they entered, some notable examples being the Le Mans 24 and the Carrera PanAmericana. Rally teams began to realize the benefits that light weight sports cars may have in their sport and so cars like these two began to show up in rally competition. The 904 with its mid-engine set up and lightweight fiberglass monocoque type bodywork was super rigid and well balanced allowing superior handling in the elements found in most winter rallying. The 904 was campaigned for two seasons with four, six and eight cylinder engines and according to Meredith could have been further developed as a successful rally and road race machine had not Ferdinand Piech insisted on making his mark within<br> the Porsche racing department by pushing the development of more pure competition models such as the 906, 908 etcetera. I have to admit that the era from1953 to 1965 is also my favorite. Porsches most beautiful finely crafted, technically advanced and versatile cars came from this period. These machines finessed their way into the record books with jewel like power plants capable of amazing horsepower for their size. Meredith has obviously been a rally driver as well and his belief that rallying was and is the last form of motorsport that the 'common man' can get involved in with the expectation of rising to the top of the game cannot be missed. His passion for the cars and rallies of the 1950's through the '70's when they were most accessible to everyman fills the bulk of the book. More than once there are references to how over litigated things are these days how bureaucrats have ruined the sport with their 'misguided' sense of the public good. So the author is a bit of a dinosaur...he lived through a time when competition was more pure and certainly less regulated and for producing this delightful book I think we can indulge him.
