Porsche History in Miniature
I've had a thing for old Porsches since I was a teenager and my Dad and I located and restored a tired, un-wired 1977 911S. (By restored, I mean, uhm, paid the right people to fix the hard stuff. I mean, we vacuumed the carpets and washed it at least several times on our own. Honest.) One rebuilt flat six engine later, it ran like it was born to circle the N�ring.
Stumbling around the net looking for some year/model info, I bumped into this fun page:
40 Years with the Porsche 911 - A miniature review
It's a great, quick read and gives you an abridged view of the 911's enduring character and colorful variation through time and car consumer trends.
FWIW, I still think Corgi makes the best-looking small scale miniatures. Just ask any airport gift shop cashier which ones sell best!
