For the owners of Neun Archiv, every crankcase, gauge cluster and magnesium wheel is a fragment of engineering history. These pieces pass through our workshop in Cork not to be traded, but to be understood — studied, preserved, and returned to the record so that the next generation of restorers can read it.

Our collection spans the 356, 911, 914, 916, 964 and beyond. Each item carries provenance: a chassis number, a factory stamping, a name. That provenance is the point. It is what separates a part from a story.

Where original gauges are no longer recoverable, we are re-engineering selected instrumentation to the same tolerances, materials and finishes specified in Zuffenhausen. The dials, the needle sweep, the backlight colour — every detail is measured against surviving factory examples.

The goal is not novelty. It is continuity: a gauge that reads as Porsche intended, behaves as Porsche intended, and will still be correct in fifty years.

Everything passes through our bench in Cork: inspection, documentation, restoration or re-manufacture. We work slowly, because speed is the enemy of authenticity. A single gauge can take weeks. A crankcase can take months. The result is a part that fits the car, the period, and the story.

We are not a volume business. We are a reference point for those who believe that the smallest component deserves the same reverence as the whole machine.

Whether you are restoring an air-cooled Porsche, searching for a lost part, or simply want to understand what we do, write to us. We respond from Cork, in writing, within two working days.
