Hit the above link to see a fascinating insight into racing in the 80’s. Link sent to Border Reivers by our good friend Nick Faure

Tom,  you’ll enjoy this, I was driving the Ferrari 512 BB LM this same year and was the first Ferrari to finish for 15 years !

Nick is better known as a Porsche driver. This was his ride at Le-Mans (below) Looks perfect now but Nick told me of the last minute sponsership deal and trying to make up and apply the Harley logos before the start of the race, all hands on deck  back then.

Testimonial

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.UnknownQuick Nick with his trade mark front wheel in the air
