FROM MY REVIEWS IN THE 356 REGISTRY:

Hot On the heels of his very successful Book of Porsche 356, Brian Long has brought out the even more expensive Porsche Racing Cars 1953 to 1975.  This title should sound familiar – it’s almost identical to Anthony Prichard’s Porsche -- The Sports Racing Cars 1953 to 1975 – indeed the books are necessarily extremely similar. Both give similar, reasonably accurate racing histories – Long has useful charts of Porsche sports racing places by race.  Both rely heavily, almost to exclusion of any other sources, on Porsche Arkivs.  At least Long doe not misidentify the Dreikantschaber, although he refers to it as the DKS.

Long comments on the “Stunning publicity shot of the Siffert/Redman 908/2L – the Flunder body with a longer tail – and the 917 of Elford…” parked in front of a two engine Cessna, without realizing this was Ferry and Louise’s private corporate aircraft – identifiable in Smalley’s Porsche 911 Scrap Book by its call letters of D-FLP (Deutschland Ferdinand Louise Porsche/Piech

Long’s Porsche Racing Cars 1953 to 1975 at $89.95 has 272 pages, 148 up to 1966, while Prichard’s Porsche -- The Sports Racing Cars 1953 to 1975 has 336 page, 116 up to 1966 at $69.95.  Given there is little to choose between the two books, buy Prichard’s first.
