The Prototype of the Porsche 901 Book

The blue miracle: The story of the sixth Porsche 901

It sounds like a fairy tale or a well-made story: In April 1964, a blue car roared past the young Alois Ruf, which he identified as a pre-series model of the Porsche 901. This gives his fascination with the sports car brand from Stuttgart an additional boost. When his father gave him his first 901 a few years later – a car with minor accident damage that also happens to be blue – he thought nothing of it. And yet this is the beginning of an incredible story!

• The ideal gift book for car lovers and Porsche fans
• Extensive archive material and texts by proven Porsche specialists
• The Porsche 901 book: Richly illustrated with current and historical Porsche photos

Rediscovery and restoration of an early Porsche 901

Alois Ruf drives it, but at some point he turns off the sports car and almost forgets it. But only almost! The history of the 901 will not let him go. He starts with the complete restoration, researches and can hardly believe what he discovers: his classic car was an early test car, more precisely the sixth 901 ever built. And thus exactly the car that raced past the young Alois Ruf at the time.

Let the renowned car journalist Jürgen Lewandowski, author of numerous books on the subject, take you on a fascinating journey through time into the history of Porsche!
