I had heard about the swarms of flying Ants this year but this was incredible, the car was almost black with the little buggers but by the time I took shelter, then got my camera, most had moved on (thank goodness as they had even got inside)

Border Reivers Support The Edinburgh Watch Company at the world of Supercars
July 26, 2017
What do we like more than spending time around super cars? Being around watches and supercars. This weekend Edinburgh Watch Company was up at Knockhill racing circuit for the annual World of Supercars event, which was magnificent. Knockhill are continuously hosting fantastic events for all the family and seeing the huge variety of people’s beloved cars was truly impressive. From track day kit cars, to some of the most expensive hyper cars in the world, there was something for everyone. With everyone bringing such amazing cars, we felt that having something really special on our stand was essential.
On this particular occasion we we’re offered an absolutely timeless classic 1954 Porsche 356 Pre-A by our good friends at Border Reivers. This particular car has a truly fascinating history.
Being surrounded by such wonderful creations we really felt we had to bring an outstanding collection of new and used timepieces, and so as always, the best of the best were put on display for our visitors to enjoy. As part of our display we chose to feature a very special timepiece, a limited edition Scuderia Ferrari Girrard-Peregaux, 1 of 250 which was snapped up almost immediately after our radio interview with Knockhill presenter Duncan Vincent. The new owner very much looks forward to wearing his fantastic rare timepiece.
We’d like to say a very special thank you to each and every person who stopped by our stand for a chat and a look at our collection. We had a fantastic day out and we are very much looking forward to our next motoring event.

One of our clients discovered this frogeye/bugeye Sprite in a barn. It now has a finished value that makes it worth restoring. Apart from the fiberglass arches and wider wheels it’s a very original matching numbers car.

Headlamp upgrade
July 13, 2017
Its always good to upgrade the headlights when you upgrade an engine. Having already converted from 6 to 12 volts & to a charging system that allows the running of halogen head lights. We carried out the pretty simple conversion from sealed beams headlamp units to halogen headlamp units, what a difference in the end result. We also removed the basket style stone guards at the same time by replacing the outer rims with nos (new old stock) items. I personally think it looks cleaner.
This is to state that when I visited the premises of Border Reivers,I was really impressed by the knowledge of Tom Fitzsimmons when it comes to Porsche.The standard to which the cars are presented is meticulous.I have been communicating with them over many years as their offerings of Porsche have seemed mouthwatering, but one never knows by conversation alone the extent of enthusiasm and detail knowledge that Tom has put into the business, so it was a real pleasure to be there for real. I have been connected with the Marque Porsche ever since the early 60s and have driven them internationally and for Porsche themselves over many years. I have been buying, selling and racing Porsche for 48 years and it is a real pleasure to see such enthusiasm translated into such a passionate business always seeking perfection in the product.Quick Nick with his trade mark front wheel in the air
