NINEMEISTER

Quality comes first at Ninemeister. Company founder, Colin Belton, will cater for any Porsche through his sixteen-strong team’s specialities in restoration, engine rebuilds, servicing, storage, contemporary performance upgrades and bespoke cars wearing a 9m badge, indicating the product of 9m Cars, Ninemeister’s custom creation division, which will build the air-cooled 911 of your wildest dreams. Indeed, the Cheshire firm boasts a wide range of talents spread across 30,000ft² and two sites, all united by a drive for tangible, ongoing improvement.

“I’m a design engineer by trade,” Colin explains. “It’s ingrained to look at every component, analyse it and, where necessary, develop a better solution.” Building on ever-developing relationships with a range of designers and fabricators, the Ninemeister team is forever creating new products for air-cooled and water-cooled Porsches alike. Lightweight flywheels for the 964, 993 and Cayman GT4 are an ongoing sales success, matching civility with increased responsiveness, while at the other end of the scale, a recent 9m Cars project has seen semi-active suspension and modern four-channel ABS systems spliced into early 911s.
