## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Porsche Spyder 1956-1964
  

*by S***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2011*

Ludvigsen's first book on the 550 Porsche Spyder was much better documented with the evolution of the 550 both historically & technically.Lip service paid only to 550A with only a very few photos - none of car from the rear or cockpit/dash. No indication of number made etc. The Porsche Spyder RSK never showed "k" torsion bar front end, Never indicated how 718 differed from RSK, never indicated production numbers of the numerous variants with 4 cylinder & 8 cylinder.  The whole book appeared to be hastily put together and really did not come close to his informative Porsche 550 Spyder Book in sum or substance and subsequently not worth the wait or the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A jewel of a book
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2010*

Porsche Spyders 1956-1964 is an excellent book.  The archival photos beautiful and very well selected.  The accompaning text is very detailed and well matched to the photos for illustrative purposes.  In this regard, the book exceeded expectations because it is intended to be a collection of rare photos of the stunning 718 Spyder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This book has incredable pictures and detail.
  

*by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2013*

I purchased this book because I first saw a Spyder race in Marlboro, MD in 1960 and I have followed them since. I have started to build a copy of a 1960 RS60 and this book is invaluable in giving me the details of the interior.
