For maximum authentici­ty, versions are available for European and US territorie­s. This latest Porsche Classic offering means all tail lights for classic 911s (up to and including the 996) can be ordered new for the first time since the 1990s.

The reissue focused on achieving the greatest possible consistenc­y with factory light units from the period, whilst also complying with current standards. All of the materials, including the lenses and the die-cast zinc housing in a Zamak alloy, match original specificat­ion from 1964. The same is true for the many details which were, at that time, unique features: the Bosch symbol in the lenses and housings, the characteri­stic chiselling of the reversing light recess, the reflective “cat’s eye“made from a single piece, and the double screw connection of all lights to the body. As was the case fifty years ago, production relies heavily on manual labour — European lens variants are painted by hand.
