From Bob Lawrence’s REVIEWS IN THE 356 REGISTRY:

Porsche and Volkswagen are once again companions in "The Porsche and Volkswagen Companion" by Kenneth Ullyett.  This was the third in a series of motoring COMPANION books published in England in the early sixties. This volume as would be expected covers Porsche development up to the T6 bodied Bs. There is fact a full page comparison photo toward the end of the book. Chapters alternate between Porsche and VW, some of the titles of the Porsche chapters are, "Louise's Jewel of a Car", "Porsche Servicing", and "Souping and Tarting" (that's not the same as a meal and a wench). The book winds up with a chronological data section that even includes the Porsche industrial engine. The data section starts out with a 3 way glossary, English, German and American. Did you know that what the English callthe mixture-control is Drosselklappe in German and that we Americans call it choke strangler? I didn't

know that. Companion is well written and reediting supplied one erratum notice with the books first written. You still may have to keep on your toes as on pg. 45 "The first Porsche motor was upped to

40 b.h.p. by keeping the VW stroke but reducing the bore diameter."  The front flap proclaims exclusive photographs and drawings and hotting-up secrets (those English do have a way with the English

language) for Porsche owners. At this place in time not all those photos are new or exclusive, but all are

still worthy of note.
