Carrera RS; by Dr Thomas Grubber Dr Georg Konradsheim.
The book was written as a complete guide and record of every 1973 rs,chassis numbers options etc.
The 1st chapter is devoted to the 964rs with many photos of the 964rs all the way through the book.
Chapters devoted to the 1973rs include Predecessors,Development,Engineering,Models and Equipment, Racing,Model cars etc
It is a large quality book red cover with Green slip cover. It is a limited addition 3000 copies and is a must have for all 73rs and 964rs owners. They were originally £180.00 but I got mine from Gmund about 4years ago for £130.00 approx. They may have some left.
It was printed in 1992 by Sochor, Zell am See.
