THE PORSCHE MUSEUM SPECIAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE LIMITED EDITION SLIP-CASE EDITION#3 OF ONLY 150 WHAT A COLLECTORS ITEM PETER FALK 33 YEARS OF PORSCHE A DEFINITIVE ILLUSTRATED LOOK AT HIS LIFE AT PORSCHEBY PETER FALK WITH WILFRIED MULLER
"Peter Falk – 33 Years of Porsche Rennsport and Development" from Edition Porsche Museum. For more than three decades, Peter Falk pursued his work and passion at Porsche. Over the course of this time, he, as Racing Director and one of the leading lights in the testing department, moulded the character of the Porsche Sports Car• on the race track and on the road. Together with author Wilfried Müller, Peter Falk has now gathered memories of his time at Porsche into a book. This is very much a personal journey through the development of Porsche. Many photographs from his private collection and from the historical archive at Porsche are presented here for the first time. 408 pages- Peter Falk and Porsche, 33 years of passion and devotion: As their race director and one of the leading figures in their experimental department, Peter Falk contributed significantly to the character of the sports cars from Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen - both on the race track and on the road.
From the first 901 right through to the very last air-cooled Type 993, every Porsche 911 bears the signature of Peter Falk. He joined the company in 1959 and quickly rose through the ranks to head various testing departments. In the mid-sixties, Falk also took over the tactical and technical leadership of the factory's "Rennsport" team. In 1981, he was appointed as race director and led Porsche throughout its most successful era of competition. "His" team won at Le Mans, became World Sports Car Champions, conquered the Paris-Dakar Rally, and was victorious in Formula 1 with the TAG Turbo engine. In this book, Peter Falk tells of his years with Porsche. A highly respected person in the world of engineering, he relates how it all began at Porsche--when race drivers and engineers huddled together in a shepherd's hut at Weissach to discuss suspensions, what the Porsche crew experienced during endless testing adventures in both the Arctic Circle and the Sahara, how the race cars at Le Mans roared to the start over country roads, and how a test drive with a Porsche 908 almost cost him his life. He shares his views on every Porsche race car, from the 904 Carrera GTS to the 962C, and describes the race drivers who competed during his reign: Hans Herrmann, Jacky Ickx, Vic Elford, Derek Bell, Hans-Joachim Stuck and Jochen Mass to name just a few. Falk provides a good, long look into the inner workings of Porsche. Peter Falk shared his personal Porsche stories and fascinating insights with the author Wilfried Müller. The images in this book come from Peter Falk's private collection, from the Porsche Historical Archive in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, and from the vast cache at McKlein Photography. Along with the contributions from former colleagues and race drivers, these images and stories give an in-depth portrayal of Peter Falk's 33 years with Porsche.

BUYS AND SELLS ALL HISTORIC
RACING
AND
CAR MEMORABILIA
AND I SPECIALISE IN JOCHEN RINDT
I HOPE ANYONE WHO BUYS FROM ME ENJOYS THEIR PURCHASES. I AM A REAL ENTHUSIAST AND WOULD HATE TO DISAPPOINT ANOTHER FAN SO I REALLY TRY MY BEST TO DESCRIBE EVERYTHING HONESTLY AND TO PACK EVERYTHING WELL. IF THERE IS EVER MISTAKES I WILL ALWAYS TRY MY VERY BEST TO RECTIFY THEM.
AFTER FOLLOWING MOTOR RACING SINCE A YOUNG BOY I GOT TO AN AGE WHEN I STARTED TO LOOSE INTEREST. ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO I DECIDED TO SELL MY LIFE`S COLLECTION AFTER THINKING MY KIDS WOULD HAVE NO INTEREST. THIS SPARKED OF MY PASSION AGAIN AND I HAVE ENDED UP WITH THIS WONDERFUL BUSINESS.
MY SON CHARLIE SOON CAUGHT THE BUG TO AND HAS A SHOP CALLED MOTORING-MAN-BOUTIQUE AND IRONICALLY MY DAUGHTER TRAVELS WITH THE GP CIRCUS AROUND THE WORLD AS SHE HAS ENDED UP A PRODUCER FOR FORMULA ONE ON SKY TV.
MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE LOTS OF GPs IN EUROPE AND HAVE BEEN TO LE MANS EVERY YEAR EXCEPT THREE SINCE 1977.
MY FAVOURITE CARS AND DRIVERS GO BACK FURTHER THAN MY MEMORIES AS I JUST LOVE THE 1960S SPORTS CAR RACERS. CHAPARRAL, GT40 AND OF COURSE THE 917 ARE ALL MY LOVES. I HAVE AN INTEREST IN JOCHEN RINDT AND HAVE ALWAYS FOLLOWED JACKY ICKX. MY BIGGEST INTEREST HAS TO BE THE 1930s SILVER ARROWS.
THROUGH THIS BUSINESS I HAVE BECOME VERY FOND OF MOTORING ART AND I AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO REPRESENT CHRIS DUGAN A VERY FINE MOTOR ARTIST AND A GENTLEMAN
ALTHOUGH I SELL 1000s OF ITEMS THROUGH EBAY I DO MY BEST TO SPECIALISE IN SOME OF THE LESSER KNOWN FORMULAS LIKE FORMULA FORD, JUNIOR, 5000 AND OTHER CLASSIC RACE CARS. THIS IS BECAUSE I AM AN ENTHUSIAST OF THE CLASSIC MEETINGS LIKE GOODWOOD, LE MANS CLASSIC, OLDTIMER, SILVERSTONE HISTORIC ECT
I ALSO BUY BOOKS, TROPHIES, PHOTOGRAPHS AND PICTURES IN FACT MOST MEMORABILIA!
ENJOY THE SHOP AND DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SHARE YOUR PASSION!
