If Carlsberg did a day for collecting clients it would go a little like this ……………
June 30, 2018Wake up at a sensible time …. no alarms necessary
No queuing for a shower or bathroom
Sun at just the right temperature (Ginger nut warm)
decent set of wheels at the ready
No fighting for parking space’s and free parking at departure point
Total tranquility at point of departure
Slipping out of the bay
Not another boat in sight
Destination Luss, 20 minutes return by power boat against a 2 hour drive
Client on time.
with our client delighted with his purcase, the commercial would end up with a proper Scottish pint brewed in Glasgow….. Cheers
as a PS it would end like this
“ Having spent some time looking for my ideal classic car I found an absolutely immaculate Opel Manta 1.8s Berlinetta listed on Border Reivers web pages. A quick e-mail and a viewing / test drive were promptly arranged.
Tom met me at his impressive show room, the car was beautifully presented and I was left to look round it while Tom answered any questions I put to him . No pressure and I was also welcome to look at the other classics in stock……all very desirable!
A test drive was completed and collection date agreed despite Tom heading off on a family holiday.
Transport to collect the car was a little difficult for me but solved when Tom kindly collected me by boat and also laid on a Porsche as transport to the bank to make payment. A very smooth, pleasant, stress free transaction and a car that exceeded expectations and has performed faultlessly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Border Reivers to anyone looking for that immaculate set of unusual wheels”

EINE REISE NACH SCHOTTLANDPorsche 356 A Bj. 1959 - sehr guter Zustand, für Rennen aufgebaut!Anzeige gefunden, sofort in das Auto verliebt - Anbieter Border Reivers?? Wo- Schottland?? Also, einen Flug gebucht nach Edinburgh und kurzer Hand auf die Insel geflogen.Ganz idyllisch ein Stück hinter Glasgow an einem See gelegen hat sich die Firma "Border Reivers" versteckt und auf hochwertige Autos spezialisiert.Der Inhaber - Tom Fitzsimmons ist mehr als freundlich uns hilfsbereit und versucht seinen Kunden fast jeden Wunsch von den Augen abzulesen, hat uns spät nachts noch zum Essen ausgeführt und kurz vor Mitternacht nach zurück nach Glasgow gefahren. Wir konnten in einer blitzsauberen Halle das Objekt der Begierde in aller Ruhe inspizieren (und alle anderen Auto's auch noch) und durften danach eine Probefahrt durch die Highlands absolvieren.Sämtliche Sonderwünsche und Umbauten wurden durch Border Reivers noch erledigt und gegen Entgelt wurde der Wagen noch bis vor die Haustüre in Deutschland geliefert. Ein wirklich perfekter und freundlicher Service der nicht selbstverständlich ist.Many thanks Tom, it was great to make business with you!Thomas Eder aus Bayern
Thomas Eder Racing his Porsche at the Nurburgring(Translated below)A TRIP TO SCOTLAND to veiw a 1959 Porsche 356A - Very good condition, built for racing! As per the add, I fell in love with the car which was offered by Border Reivers, So a flight booked flown to Scotland. Quite a bit away from idyllic Glasgow situated on a lake,is where the company "Border Reivers" hides and specializes in high quality cars. The owner - Tom Fitzsimmons is more than friendly to us and very helpful. Caters to his customers every whim. He gave us late night run to Glasgow for a meat, shortly before midnight after back after it. We were in a spotless showroom, full of the objects of desire. He gave us peace to inspect and allowed us to undergo a test drive through the highlands afterwards. We agreed the purchase and some special requests and modifications to be carried out which were done by Border Reivers. We paid for the car and it was delivered to our doorstep in Munich, Germany in a covered transporter. A truly perfect and friendly service which is not self-evident. Many thanks Tom, it was great to do business with you!ThomasEder aus BayernThomas Eder Racing his Porsche at the Nurburgring
