Removing the Group 4 axle

Fitting the new axle 

The RS Gearbox

I wanted the car worked on by the people who originally worked on it, know the car and did the original conversion. It is being done by Allan Clark. I am standing in Allan’s drive and that was the McRae family home in the back ground. (what a link) Below it almost the same angle with Colins 1st rally car.

As a result of the cars progress being put on the socials, several very helpful people have come forward with great stories , information and some original parts from the car so far we have obtained, the original boot lid and spoiler, wheels, spot-lamp brackets, lights and seats.

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
