We sold this Mercedes Benz 280SL unseen to one of our loyal clients. We done the deal & delivered the car however the client was out of the country, He has just arrived back & sent this lovely message.

Hi Tom, finally saw the Merc for the first time today! Absolutely blown away, just fantastic quality as expected from Border Reivers and your good self ! Can’t wait to drive it when the salt goes away ! Thank you Nigel

 

Border Reivers love discovering lost original cars. We got a call from a young Lady who was obviously upset at the passing of her favourite Uncle. She lives in London & her uncle was based just outside Aberdeen. She was tasked with the winding up of his estate and found a few cars in the garage. His favourite was the 1979 Porsche 911SC, 65k miles from new with 2 previous owners. The first owner Mr Anthony Piccolo purchased it new (03-01-1979) from Glen Henderson (Office Porsche Centre) in Glasgow, owner of the Piccolo Mondo restaurant. We have managed to trace Mr Piccolo and the Restaurant is still in business being run by his family. We are hoping to reunite them soon. The second owner purchased it (18-06-1980) The current owner purchased it (14-10-1985) It’s a lovely original car needing recommissioned We’re going to drain the fluids and get it running before the sale. We don’t intend to carry out any other repairs as it so original and we will leave that to the next custodian. Special find in Petrol blue metallic.

  Getting some assistance to set the stand up by my Daughter, Summer

It’s been a very long term dream to own a 964 Turbo. I started discussing the idea with Tom at Border Reivers some years ago now. I have had 3 or 4 cars from him previously, all classic 911’s. I have slowly bought and sold with him, trading up to the 964 Turbo dream.

Tom is the most knowledgeable Porsche expert that I’ve ever come across. 

Tom proactively found me the extract car that I wanted which must have been like hunting for a needle in a haystack. He was incredibly patient and invested a lot of time finding what I was after with the right provenance and quality. 

I couldn’t be any happier with the end result.

With an immense amount of appreciation.
