You can’t, they are no longer available.
There are a few individuals how appear to have access to the Porsche databases, not sure how, but I’ll send you a contact via private message.

Hope the contact is useful. As I said, it provided me with more detail then the CoA
Keep us posted on how you get on.
What’s the reason for seeking the CoA information?

The car is a Belgian car. It has a sunroof and sports seats in corduroy and appears to have had driving lights on the front, but the Belgian cars were notorious for having extras fitted at the dealership. I would like to put it back to standard, but what was standard ??
The car includes the Belgian ID plate on the front valance ... but I don't know who imported it ... I can give you the Vin number ?

Hi Chris,
Sorry, the Club archive only has some of the cars details like engine number, date made, date imported to Porsche GB or AFN. There are no other details for the UK cars apart from exterior and interior colour.
It seems that those few people around the world that do have the details you are looking for all charge good money for the service.
My Italian spec 1973 2.4S car from Bologna was sold to the person I bought it from in Brussels Belgium from Dieteren Freres who are still the Importer of Porsche cars into Belgium. They might have some information if it passed through their books.
Robin.

I do wonder how (or where) they source the Porsche database information.
The information it contained aligned with my CoA which existed before my enquiry, but it provided a lot more detail not on the CoA. My car is a USA vehicle and the report stated the car was “Tourist delivery in Europe”, so I now know the first owner travelled from California to Germany to collect the car.
Chris, hopefully your report sheds a bit more light on the vehicle than just the colour!
You’ll have to let us know once it’s received.
Did it throw up anything interesting?
Worth getting a copy of “The 911 and 912 Porsche - The Restorer’s guide to Authenticity” by Dr B Johnson.
Covers all the options for each model and any changes year on year. It’s a really good reference point if you are trying to get your car back to factory specification.

Were your driving lights the Cibie ones called Pallas Pods that were fitted to the wings just below and to the inside of the headlights? I dont think Cibie still make or supply these. You could try Tuthills who I think had them remade in plastic for their rally cars.
I had these on my car when I first bought it and did not put them back on the new wings when they were replaced. They fit directly on the wing and require 3 small and one large hole to be cut into the wing to fit them!
I sold my pair which needed repainting, 3 years ago for £600. better quality originals ones are much more expensive.
The other driving lights/fog lights are fitted through the horn grills and have a Porsche part number bracket, bolted to the two holes in the battery boxes and the lights are bolted to the part that protrudes through the horn grille. The lights would have been either Cibie or Hella units.
Earlier cars which had a different front valance had provision for Hella fog lamps to be fitted on the valance effectively below the "bumper". These lamps were carried over from those fitted to the 356 models.
