If this doesn't inspire him to get out and drive it, nothing will. Wonderful coffee table book:

That looks a good prospect.

He does drive it a lot. Takes it down to the south of France and up to the Alps skiing on fairly frequent occasions. It's got moon and back mileage and he's owned it for nearly 30 years.

A Passion for Porsches by Denis Jenkinson is a good read if he doesn't already have it.

Am an old friend of John Fitzpatrick of Porsche racing fame (1960's - 1990's). He has recently released a book of his racing life. I am yet to get it but I am expecting it to be a good read.

Here it can be found on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/FITZ-Life-Wheel-John-Fitz...

I'm also planning my return to the mountains, with a trip to the Dolomites this time.
