Sold Kaussmull Chronicles rare book GT3
The father of the GT3 (don’t let Andreas tell you otherwise), this book is a USA print only. I did a group buy for the 996 GT3 owners WhatsApp group and have one left.
It’s a weighty thing and meant to be brilliant (I haven’t read it yet myself) but as it’s USA only it’s expensive to ship from there and you get stung by import duty.
I’m doing these as a none profit making exercise at £85 shipped in the U.K.
The book I’m selling is jiffy bagged up and ready to go, link to the book below;
Kussmaul Chronicles -- a book by Craig Watkins
You never know, some of these books end up being worth a fortune but if you love your Porsche history, or even the GT3 story this one is unmissable.

It was confirmed seconds later by Thomas Blam, our team strategist, over the radio. Later, I looked at the data and confirmed what I felt. Going into Turn One, I had exceeded 190 mph—in a Cup car!
The Story
Flying Lizard Motorsports was founded in 2003. We collectively decided that we would run the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona—which was a part of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series schedule—in addition to the American Le Mans Series.

Dieter Landenberger and Jürgen Gassebner. English translation by Colin Brazier. 2015 earBOOKS/Porsche Museum. 250 pages. Plus compact disc. ISBN: 978-3-943573-19-0. $60.00.
No one knows Porsche’s history as well as Dieter Landenberger, head of the company Archiv and co-director of the Porsche Museum. As the author of the massive and impressive 911×911 in celebration of that model’s 50th anniversary, Dieter poured through the Archive’s documents and photos and one might think he ran the well dry. Not so, for there are many images in this book that are unfamiliar.
