AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I propose the absolute reference book (and the only one existing) on the tuner of Porsche who became a manufacturer based on Porsche: RUF.
"RUF Book - The Limited edition" is a cult book for all Porsche enthusiasts. Published in two volumes in November 2019, limited to 911 copies (here No. 377), the 911 copies were sold in one month and since then have become unobtainable.
The history begins in 1939, the year the workshop "Auto Ruf" was opened by Aloïs Ruf Sr.
He becomes a Fiat dealer in 1958 and BMW in 1963. From the mid-1960s, Ruf specializes in maintenance and repair of Porsche cars. The founder dies in 1974 and his son, Aloïs Jr., at 24, finds himself at the head of the company.
His objective is to manufacture optimized Porsche 911, and from 1977 he obtains Porsche's approval to prepare and optimize Porsche models.
The first, in 1977, will be the Ruf-Porsche Turbo Number one.
From 1983, the cars will be released under the name RUF.
The first volume tells the history of Ruf and the second studies each of the 37 models prepared by RUF from 1977 to 2019 based on 911G, 964, 993, Boxster, 996, 997, 991, the CTR and SCR, pure Ruf creations, and the Cayenne.
The two books are housed in an elegant green slipcase, in new condition.

An exceptional opportunity to offer yourself these 2 unobtainable volumes.
