Review ------ You'd think that a book covering the history of a car as relatively new as the Porsche Boxster wouldn't be that extensive, but Brian Long has made sure that the site is true. The development of all three models covered by this book (986 Boxster and 987 Boxster/Cayman) is detailed extensively, accompanied by comprehensive technical illustrations. Long even discusses the differences between each trim level. A truly comprehensive, well-illustrated history of what is now one of the great bargain sports cars. --Classic Car Weekly Covering 987 Boxster and Cayman models produced between 2004 and 2013, this new book entitles Porsche Boxster & Cayman is packed full of information enthusiasts will adore. It has been produced with the cooperation of the Porsche factory and features 288 images, most being colour, and it is 180 pages in length. With detailed colour and trim guides being just one part of its content, it has been created to be an invaluable guide to this popular series of Porsche cars. --GT Porsche The author is a prolific Porsche writer and Porsche Boxster & Cayman is another workmanlike and detailed account: it covers the evolution of the 987 Boxster, the conception of the entirely new Cayman and steady development of both models through to 2010. As ever, Long provides interesting background. Porsche Boxster & Cayman is imaginatively laid out and illustrated and will undoubtedly appeal to all 987 owners. --Kieron Fennelly Freelance About the Author ---------------- Born in Coventry, once the heart of the British motor industry, Brian Long is a professional writer with a passion for vintage and sporting machinery.
