Biografisk notat

Born in Coventry, the heart of Britain's motor industry, Brian comes from a family with a proud heritage in the automotive and aviation fields. He trained as a mechanical engineer, and worked for a time at his father's garage. Brian became heavily involved in the classic car scene at 19, and says he turned to writing by accident. He now writes full-time and, since 1990, when his first book was released, he has had over 80 titles published. Brian and his wife, Miho, have two children, Louis and Sophie-Mercedes. They currently live in Chiba, close to Tokyo, where they can enjoy life with their Dobermann and a Thoroughbred racehorse, now retired from the tracks.

"The excellent range of pictures from the Porsche archive, as well as contemporary publicity material, combines well with the detailed and readable text. Everything's covered, from the 928's initial development and specification to trim options and racing versions." - Classics Monthly If you own a 928, this is a lovely record of your car's history and its place in the wider world of Porsche. All Torque A full picture of the Porsche 928 Oldtimer Magazine/ Dreamcar Magazine The book is illustrated with contemporary pictures and drawings, and is a perfect guide to anyone who just want's to know more about the Porsche 928, or as a guide for those that are looking to buy one. Liebe zu Ihm (love for Porsche) [A] must-read ... no points are missed as the detail is comprehensive throughout. Auto Express a densely packed, authoritative and well-researched history of details ... should give any prospective Porsche 928 buyer the confidence to choose, verify and purchase without worrying that colours or features don't add up. Classic Car Weekly [A] workmanlike and detailed account ... very much the compendium for 928 owners and enthusiasts Kieron Fennelly

The 928 was originally designed as a replacement for the legendary 911, although traditionalists wouldn’t let the air-cooled machine die, and the fuel crisis that occurred soon after the new Grand Tourer was launched meant its stunning performance on the road would not be matched in the showrooms. There was hardly a bad word written about the 928 or the beautifully-engineered V8 that powered it when it was new, yet it always seemed to be in the shadow of its older, six-cylinder stablemate. Today, over two decades since the last car was built, interest in this magnificent Porsche is increasing, as people start to judge it in a different light. This painstakingly-researched book looks at the birth of the 928, and then follows its progress around the world, taking in all the variants in all major markets, as well as a peak at its racing exploits. Illustrated with contemporary material throughout, it is the perfect guide to this eight-cylinder Porsche.
