About 9m
The expertise at 9m is such that when we want more engine power if the parts do not exist then we will design and then create them from billet.
Our knowledge of automotive construction is such that we can and do create unique Porsches. We have a reputation for caring for and improving Porsches and we have
created some of the fastest and most reliable tuned cars, amongst the older air-cooled models but also the newer 996 and 997 variants and we are currently building a Unique 996.
Our upgrades balance power, handling and braking to ensure speed, useability and safety.
The Partners
9m or NineMeister in full is run by two partners, Colin Belton and Marc Clowes,
both expert in their fields of engine design and vehicle construction respectively.
Both are more than a little obsessive when it comes to performance and repeatability,
the building blocks of best practice and quality, qualities that underpin everything 9m does.
9m simply couldn’t have achieved growth with the partners working in isolation
so Colin and Marc have surrounded themselves with enthusiastic,
dedicated, professionals who share the same underlying values and competencies.
The Team
The team overall comprises a mature, time-served team of technicians
with a particular fastidiousness and attention to detail that has lead to
them working on supercars
Team members have had illustrious careers, Robin for example has previously split his time between working for
Formula One and Can-Am Teams, having worked for the likes of Fitipaldi, Lotus and Williams.
As well as an enthusiasm for performance cars members of the team have other passions;
Peter is a walking archive of Porsche Part Numbers and component
specifications and despite Robin’s racy career he is also very fond of Daleks – well who isn’t!
