Porsche 912 Limited Edition Extra 1965-1976

A portfolio of articles, drawn from the leading motoring journals of four continents, tracing the progress of Porsche's four cylinder 912 model from its inception in 1965. Included are contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, new model introductions, development, long-term appraisals, owner's survey, history plus advice on buying a pre-owned 912 or 912E. After the success of the 356, Porsche introduced the new shaped 911 in 1965 but this was expensive. Porsche's answer was to put the engine from the 356 in to the 911 body and call it the 912; this came towards the end of 1965 when 356 production was phased out. The 912 was phased out at the end of 1969 to make way for the 914. The 912 was brought back in 1976 with a 4 cylinder engine and called a 912E. Models covered: 912 and 912E with the Coupe and Targa bodies.
