Border Reivers are delighted to be selling this matching numbers Porsche 356A from 1957. Originally delivered to North America. We believe it was imported by the Porsche Centre Perth several years ago for the owner Sir Peter Vardy as part of his personal collection. Thats the written information the new owner received on his purchase from the OPC in Perth. I personally remember seeing it sitting in their showroom. The buyer had it shipped to his home in the South of France where it was his intention to use it as a daily driver however it proved to be too impractical for his daily needs (not the running or reliability of the car) just the lack of modern creature comforts like air conditioning, safety features, general space, modern communication systems, all the gadgets we now take for granted. The car is currently UK registered.
Being left hand drive makes it suitable for continental trip into Europe
We await delivery of the paperwork from France including its Certificate of Authenticity
The car is in a very nice condition not concours perfect just really nice with a lovely patina. I personally love the condition & would just drive it as Sir Peter & the previous owner have.
details will follow as we get them

This wee guy should be in retirement now that he’s a spritly 65 year old however its been restored to an as good as new condition & ready for another 65 ! No mot required however it will come fully motd, another advantage is its road tax & LEZ exempt.
Never intended to be a concours garage queen, the owner just wanted to save it for the next generation & keep his head busy after the depression of lock down. What he has produced is a beautiful car with a little more power than standard (1275 cc) making it so much more fun. It drives beautiful, looks fantastic & the wire wheels really add to its sporty appearance. We as a company we could not restore a car to this condition for less than £60k due to labour rates so this is indeed a bargain, unlikely to depreciate & just make you smile when you look at his wee face. It retains its original registration number.
It comes with a large history file & a photograph album of the restoration

Ferrari 360 Spider
August 1, 2024
Who doesn’t love a red Ferrari? Rosso Corsa Red with Black interior with Challenge Stradale upgrades. Bet you’re still watching old repeats of Magnum Pi in his GTS. That for many folk of a certain age is where the love affair began a bit like the Porsche 930 Turbo bedroom poster car.
This Ferrari 360 Spider is a bit different as its a homage to the Challenge Stradale. Using many Stradale parts like the Seats, Wheels, Mirrors, Body stripe, Petrol flap, Challenge Stradale badge/emblem, Carbon Centre console, Radio display, Dashboard cluster, Inner door panel, Gear shift paddles, Rear window louvers, Compensation panel with chrome cavalino etc etc
All this on top of an already well equipped car (even the Ferrari Scuderia shields on the wings are an optional extra)
This convertible has an electric hood which goes up & down with the touch of a button.
This is a stunning bit of kit with Supercar looks & performance for very sensible money
Properly looked after car with a great service history which includes a recent belt change. In outstanding condition it comes with a spare wheel, its original tool kit and document folder with all its original books also an original sales brochure. An investment you can have fun with.

Boxster 550 Anniversary
July 31, 2024
We don’t usually sell Porsche Boxster’s unless they are rather special & this wee guy is just that. This is a pre-production Porsche Boxster Spyder 550 Anniversary model.
Correspondence from Porsche Cars GB confirming this.
Porsche Anniversary Model WP0ZZZ98Z4U641035
One letter reads :- Porsche Germany has confirmed the above vehicle is a pre-production model as such, no dedicated Anniversary Model number was allocated to it.
This car was delivered new in Germany although it was a C16 UK spec car. The current owner believes it to have been the right hand drive press/test car before being imported to the UK in 2006. There can be no doubt this is the pre-production Anniversary Boxster S Spyder which makes this a unique Porsche.
Offered in lovely all round condition with a few minor stone chips on the bonnet but nothing that warrants paint correction.

Delighted to be offering this simply stunning 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
Shut Restorations of Seattle did an exquisite restoration on this 1957 Speedster. During the restoration, this 356 was completely disassembled and stripped down to the bare shell so that every aspect could be properly addressed. The body and panels are original and still retain their correct stampings/numbers. All panels were pre-fit with bumpers, windshield frame, and soft top to ensure the absolute best result. All the chrome was triple-plated, and all of the components were restored or replaced.

The four-wheel drum brakes have been rebuilt, including the wheel cylinders, brake lines, and master cylinder. The undercarriage is fully detailed, including the suspension, engine, and transmission.
Finished in a period-correct exterior colour Signal red, the condition and the colour combination is simply stunning! The interior is upholstered in Black with red piping, German Oatmeal square weave carpets, black German canvas high bow soft-top, black German canvas tonneau cover and side curtains. Matching body panels, hood, doors & engine lid, date stamped wheels. Options include, a deluxe horn ring, sealed beam headlights with cheese grater headlamp guards, speedometer in mile per hour.

This beautiful Porsche 356A Speedster is turn key & ready for immediate Concours, rally events, or drive and enjoy you won’t be disappointed with this purchase however you choose to enjoy it.
History
An American idea in the 1950’s was building a car to counter the British competition. For sporty use on the racetrack, as well as in everyday life. Light and nimble, but also minimalist and affordable. The Porsche Speedster quickly became an icon. No wonder the original Porsche 356 Speedster now has five descendants.
The Porsche Speedster made automotive sacrifices socially acceptable
In the middle of the last century, Porsche made conscious automotive luxury sacrifices acceptable with the first Speedster. Its recipe was simplicity in action. A low, curved windshield – which could easily be removed for weekend races – plus a folding emergency soft top and. For an additional charge, plug-in windows for the doors were available. These were the ingredients for the Porsche 356 Speedster in 1954.
The spartan cockpit had lightweight bucket seats with rigid backrests. Instrumentation was limited to a speedometer and temperature gauge. Heating and tachometer remained optional extras to keep the base price below the magic $3,000 mark. The efforts paid off. With up to 1,171 units sold in its strongest year, the Porsche 356 Speedster became an instant commercial success.

Porsche 993 C4 Cab
July 11, 2024
Border Reivers are delighted to offer this very special Porsche to the market. Its a car we know very well as it belonged to my friends wife (Susan) who purchased it in 2002 when it was the less than 5 year old. Never in the time I have spent at the factory or thereafter have I seen a Porsche 911-993 with so many factory options. It makes me think it was a press or show car.
The 09991 code means the car has an option from the Souderwunsch Program which is now know as the ‘Exclusive’ designation which can account for many of the fitted factory options, cars stayed on the standard production line however when it shows the 09981 code as this car does it is very likely the car left the main production line & was moved to the Werk 1 building for the additional one off items some of which I have never seen before, like fitted arm rests.
Not all of the factory option are listed on the under bonnet/service book labels however I’m sure the 09981 option covers the unlisted items.
Some of the option codes that are visible
C16 UK spec car
XC8 Light Rootwood shifter
X17 Light Rootwood dashboard trim
X28 Light Rootwood steering wheel with airbag in leather
X31 Light Rootwood parking brake lever
X54 Stainless steel tailpipes (oval)
X78 Front air intake with daytime driving lights
X86 Light Rootwood door trims
240 For countries with poor inferior fuel quality
408 Upgraded alloy wheels
490 Sound system upgrade
551 Wind deflector
567 Top tint windscreen
573 Air conditioning
09971
09981
09991
Some of the option we assume was done under the 09981 program
RS Side skirts
RS lower front spoiler
Front white light upgrade inc side repeaters
C2S engine twin engine cover
Rear engine lid spoiler incorporating 3rd brake light
Rear red light upgrade
Electric heated mirrors
Full leather dash
Engine lid badge delete
Full electric seats
Front seat arm rests
Electric hood
Factory carpet mats

Porsche 928S4
July 10, 2024
Vehicle Story
The Porsche 928 burst on to the motoring scene back in 1978 and was quite a shock for the marque’s enthusiasts, looking like nothing else you could buy. It was of course intended to replace the 911.
A veritable technical tour de force, it so impressed the motoring journalists of the day that it was voted European Car of the Year 1978. Quite an accolade for a non-mainstream car.
Under the bonnet sat an all-alloy liner-less V8 which was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox. The galvanised and highly aerodynamic body had aluminium doors and bonnet plus body-coloured wraparound bumpers – all a bit radical.
It was said that Porsche referred to the 928 as an ethical sports car if that’s not a contradiction in terms. By that they meant it had four seats, modest emissions from the low-stressed engine and performance which was brisk, rather than startling.
In effect they had created a rather cramped GT car and let’s rejoice that they did, as it gave the 911 a reprieve.
However, the original 240bhp 4.5-litre engine was soon increased to 4.7 for the ‘S’ model which appeared in 1980, the extra 55bhp giving the 928 the power it needed to match its dramatic looks.
In 1986 the S4 variant debuted, and this was powered by a 316hp 5.0-litre V8. Styling updates gave the car a much cleaner, sleeker look and undoubtedly the S4 models are the most sought after today.
The 928 therefore deserves our thanks and praise not only for encouraging Porsche to broaden their horizons and produce a range of front engine cars, but also for saving the 911 from extinction. It could so very easily have been dropped back then and think of all the lovely versions we would have subsequently missed out on…
Vehicle Overview
Most classic car owners take good care of their cars however this owner seems a little more fastidious than most and this is undoubtedly reflected in the car’s condition. Always garaged, regularly serviced, and taken out for a little light exercise at least every few days, the car has wanted for nothing.
The S4 has been treated to a professional bare metal respray a few years back so that the ‘Guards Red’ paintwork now positively pops.
This S4 is a proper driver’s car too, so no slushamatic gearbox. Instead, a slick manual transmission is fitted, ideal for harnessing the power of that sonorous V8.
Exterior
In 2016, independent Porsche dealers, Specialist Cars of Malton, were charged with carrying out a full bare metal respray on our 928. Looking at the vehicle that sits before us, they undoubtedly did an excellent job.
There’s no doubt that Guards Red helps to accentuate the 928’s sharp lines and looking closely you can admire the attention to detail.
The alloy wheels are free from scuffs and parking grazes, and each comes fitted with a premium Bridgestone Potenza tyre. We would have expected nothing less from our seller. Good tyres are always an excellent indication of caring classic car ownership.
You will also note the fully operational electric sunroof, ideal for those days when a little wind in the hair motoring is required.
Interior
Porsche has been making lovely interiors for many a year and the 928’s is a beauty. The electric seats up front are just as comfortable as they look, and the infinite adjustment means that finding an ideal driving position is easy.
There’s a simplicity to the controls that is now so sadly missing in modern cars. All the saliant information is displayed in clear instruments ahead of the driver, nothing superfluous.
The seats are covered in quality hides and considering they have been sat on for over 30 years, they are in remarkably good condition. There is a little gentle creasing in places, quite lovely.
Yes, there are rear seats, but they are really only suitable for children. Better to look upon them as extra luggage space.
The car comes with floor mats, with just a few marks from years of use.
The air conditioning was system was reconditioned and we can report that it is fully functional.
The car has a small crack in the dashboard and a slight bowing. The owner says this was how it was when he bought the car, and it has not changed during his ownership.
The boot area is generally neat and tide and houses a space saver spare tyre and tools. There is also a retractable cover to keep the boot contents concealed from prying eyes.
Mechanical
The stainless-steel exhaust is fairly new too.
That powerful V8 fills the engine bay and is a delight to behold. All the clear signs of careful maintenance are there, ably demonstrated by a lack of dirt and signs of new components.
History Highlights
We suggest you make a cup of tea before wading through the S4’s extensive history. It will take a while but from it you will see the attention to detail that this car has always had
The raft of paperwork includes invoices for regular servicing, most important things like cambelt changes have always been done at the right time to and that we believe was our owners philosophy. If it needed doing, get it done right away.
What We Think
This lovely 928 must surely be one of the very best in the UK right now. And it’s a later S4 model with the power to match those striking looks.
It is a car that can truly offer a sports car driving experience one minute yet can just as easily take on the role of comfortable long-distance cruiser too.
An impeccable maintenance history from a careful long-term owner should give a prospective buyer confidence in this car.

FLACHBAU PORSCHE
May 29, 2024
Stop rubbing your eyes. You are actually seeing this – a Porsche 997 with the Flachbau treatment, gloriously reimagined as a retro endurance racer…
Border Reivers are delighted to be offering this Jaw dropping Porsche. Show winner for the 2nd time. Featured in several magazines however we will use the Fast car magazine description.
1981 was a watershed year for the Porsche 911. This was when the SE-spec 930 Turbo was offered with the Flachbau option – an expensive and unusual alteration which replaced the front panels with a more sloping profile and pop-up lights. ‘Flachbau’ means ‘flat construction’; these factory conversions are generally known in English as ‘flatnose’ or ‘slantnose’, and they’ve become a bit of an icon.
Slantnose options continued to be offered right through the 1990s, although they became so prohibitively expensive that fewer and fewer buyers ticked the box, until Porsche stopped offering it altogether. To give you an example of how big a deal the slantnose is, in the USA (the biggest market for this sort of thing), a 964 Turbo S would have cost $99,000 back in 1994, and the Flachbau conversion was an extra $60,000 on top of that. Only 76 slantnose 964s were ever made.
Hardly surprising that Porsche don’t offer the treatment for new-wave watercooled 911s, then. Although, as you can see, that hasn’t held the aftermarket back one bit…
This retro-futurist slantnose 997 is the brainchild of Matt Clifford, working with Reflex Auto Design – a company with its roots stretching back to the 1940s and a strong heritage of high-end Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin restorations; today they’re a leading light in the UK aftermarket scene, offering Liberty Walk and Pandem kits, stunning paint options, Revo tuning and much more besides. This 997 acts as a showcase of their skills and, most importantly, proves their prowess as lateral thinkers. As Liberty Walk dealers, for example, it’d be easy to knock up an Instagrammable wide-arch Lambo or what-have-you, but they wanted to create something truly unique.
After a fair amount of head-scratching and quite a lot of meetings, the decision was made to build a 997-generation Porsche 911 with a Liberty Walk kit… and then they immediately changed their minds, on discovery of the Old&New slantnose package. Old&New are a Japanese brand whose tagline is ‘Something Different’ (yup, no arguments there); their online store lists the 997 Flachbau kit at ¥1,550,000, which is about £10,500 at today’s exchange rates, plus you’ve got the hassle and expense of shipping the thing over here… but Reflex lucked out, as their mates at VAD Design just happen to be suppliers and importers of Old&New gear, so an order was placed and the project’s fate was sealed.
For perfectionists like Reflex, it would never be enough to simply splash a pretty colour over the body and let the ostentatious new lines do the talking. No, this is a company which prides itself on world-class paintwork, so the finish had to be eye-catching and absolutely on-point. A number of retro liveries were considered with the aim of finding something appropriate to the old-and-new theme of the project, from the Hawaiian Tropic colours of the slantnose 935 racers to the Leyton House livery of the 962, but the logical answer slotted neatly into place when they thought right back to the roots of the Flachbau.
You see, 1981 wasn’t just the year of the slantnose – it was the year in which development started on the Porsche 956, the iconic and unbeatable Group C race car. Stefan Bellof set an astounding Nürburgring lap record in a 956 – 6:11.13 – with the car wearing Rothmans livery. With all of these nuggets of information shuffling into place, there was no question of which livery Reflex’s 997 would wear: it had to be Rothmans.
Of course, they couldn’t just get a set of stickers made up and gum them on. That would defeat the whole objective of the exercise, wouldn’t it? So those retro stripes you see have all been painstakingly painted on, using a combination of Ford Imperial Blue, Audi Misano Red, Audi Pearl White and Rolls-Royce Gold. The amount of work that’s gone into it is mind-boggling, and it really accentuates the lines of the kit, which is made up of bumpers, front wings, rear spoiler/engine lid, air ducts, rear arches, sideskirts, headlights, DRLs and fuel cap – the transformation over stock is total. The actual construct of the livery design was spearheaded by conceptual artist Khyzyl Saleem (aka The Kyza), and both the layout and the execution are flawless.
What may surprise you to learn is that the base car for this project was the humble Carrera 3.6, which makes its imposing appearance today all the more impressive. Matt was keen not to chop up a Turbo or something more valuable for the project, given that the impact was in the reworking of the basic lines of the 911, but that’s not to say the car doesn’t have the grunt to back up the menace. Even in stock Carrera form you’re looking at 340bhp and 0-62mph in under five seconds, and this monster really howls now thanks to a bespoke exhaust system from EMP Performance, engineered to expose all of its gorgeous welds to the world it leaves in its wake.
In terms of the car’s overall aesthetic as well as the firm’s customer base, fitting air-ride was a no-brainer, and having oodles of experience with Air Lift Performance hardware the guys decided on a set of universal Air Lift struts and bags to engineer into the 997 chassis, all controlled by 3P management. The install is in the front boot (which is logical, as the back end’s obviously full of engine), with the 3P controller artfully moulded into the centre console.
It airs out beautifully, the nose touching the ground, with the magnificent Rotiforms really filling the broad arches; they’re LVS splits with hidden hardware, measuring 10×19-inches up front and a meaty 13×19 out back. A cool modern interpretation of the classic gold magnesium BBS race car look – and just imagine how sweet they’d be with turbofans! They’re hiding a beefy brake setup too, Forge providing a BBK and EBC packing in the uprated discs and pads.
All of this would look a bit bonkers with a stock interior, so Reflex have worked their design and engineering magic here too. A half-cage fills the rear, painted to match the exterior, while Recaro Pole Positions and Sparco harnesses stuff the front with because-race-car vibes. Capital Seating of Leicester provided the perches, and also retrimmed the doorcards, dash and custom centre console in black Alcantara with red stitching for the glare-free racer functionality as well as a snifter of the premium. Reflex augmented this by painting the remaining plastics in glossy piano black.
This a is a build that really is all about the details. Look at the nose dead-on and you’ll see the low-mounted headlights, Le Mans-style, working in conjunction with the slightly smirking grille to create an almost Pixar-like face. The huge Recaro logo leads the eyes upward toward the windscreen where those corresponding buckets are peeping through, your gaze passing the old-school bonnet louvres with the precision-marked stripes snaking around them. The rear is just as much of a visual feast, the arms of the spoiler almost shrugging as if to say ‘Why not?’ while the mass of pipes below sits waiting, eager to assault your senses with its drum-popping noises.
What Matt and Reflex have achieved here is a spectacular tribute to the classic Porsche endurance racers of old, along with the ultra-premium optioned 930 road cars, while also mixing in enough modern technological and stylistic tweaks to make this 997 totally relevant to the modern scene – regardless of whether the onlooker is aware of the history of Flachbau noses and Rothmans liveries or not. It’s a car that works on multiple levels, smart, cunning, beautifully crafted… but most of all, it’s just stone-cold awesome. Cars like this are what makes our hobby great. They encourage us all to reach for the stars. Reflex haven’t just built a Porsche here, they’ve built a masterpiece.

Porsche 911E Sportomatic
May 17, 2024
THE PORSCHE 911
Porsche developed a reputation early on for their surprising performance from their small displacement rear-engine sports and racing cars. These “giant killers” could outperform cars with much higher horsepower figures by making light cars with incredible handling. This combination gave Porsches their truly unique driving characteristics and solidified their dedicated following of Porsche enthusiasts.
Starting in 1964 with the original 911, Porsche has produced a line of six-cylinder rear-engine sportscars that could compete with much more powerful cars thanks to their low weight and superior handling. The 911 quickly became an icon of performance and handling and offered a driving experience unlike anything else. The 911 has continuously evolved into a more sophisticated, powerful, and capable driving machine, as well as a reliable and usable car.
1969 ushered in the first major changes to the iconic Porsche 911. Retaining the unique and successful rear engine layout as well as the same basic styling, the majority of the changes to the 911 were internal. Dimensionally, the rear track and wheelbase grew, while the overall length stayed the same as the earlier cars. Mechanical fuel injection debuted this year as well as in top-of-the-line 911S and the new 911E. The 911E received its name from Einspritzung, the German term for injection. Slotted between the base-model 911T and the 911S, the E, which replaced the 911L “Luxus,” featured improvements including a leather wrapped steering wheel, velour carpeting, vented brake discs, and golden script on the rear deck.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED BY BORDER REIVERS
Is another delightful find. This classy 1969 Porsche 911E with a full service & mileage history from new, that’s got to be unique. This is in fact the oldest Porsche 911 we’ve had the pleasure to own (911E Sportomatic 2.0 litre from 1969)
This car comes from long term ownership, last owner purchased the car 1992 (31 years ago) and was obviously very passionate about it judging from the invoices in the folder, it seems to have wanted for nothing with a fresh engine & mechanical rebuild less than 30 mile ago at a cost of £23000.00
Sportomatic is basically Porsche 1st automatic & is a pleasure to drive in modern traffic.
The Wonderfull thing about this low ownership car is the knowledge & history file that’s been built up over the years. It comes with its original document wallet & original books which includes it drivers manual, Sportomatic hand book (which I’ve never seen before), Service book & the maintenance record book (which we would now refer to as a service book). Large A4 history folder. Showing all previous owners.Restoration Photographs.
Magazine feature on the car from Classic & Sportscar April 1992 (4 page) Says this is a rare car, right hand drive 2 litre 911 were made between 1965 & 1969 only about 300 came to Britain in those four years. About 60 are listed the PCGB register. Of these the long wheelbase 2 litre version, which this one is was only current for a year (The rear trailing arms on all 911s were lengthened by 2.75in in 1969 to reduce rear overhang & improve weight distribution) Add to that the facts that the car has the optional semi automatic four-speed Sportomatic gearbox (rare when new & even rarer today because many cars now have conventional manual boxes) and its 140bhp ‘E’ engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection is also rarer than either the low-tune 911T or more powerful 911S & you probably have a car whose specification is unique in the UK (if not the World)
We have a beautiful early 911 in absolutely fabulous condition.The original seats are in great condition however these have been removed (Come with the car) and been replace with period bucket seats trimmed in the same material reminiscent of the ‘S’ spec seats. Mot & road tax exempt.

Porsche 911 3.2
May 15, 2024
Border Reivers are delighted yet again to be able to deliver the best low milage cars to the market. This 1988 Porsche 3.2 has covered only 28k miles from new with a single owner. That folks is an average of 800 miles per year (take that in for a second)
Normally we would display the history, mileage, service records etc however when the car comes from its one and only keeper we thought we would copy the letter he produced
Porsche LIB 614 (original registration)
This Porsche 911 Carrera Sport was purchased by my Father Archie Phillips, from Agnews Porsche who were based in Mallusk at the time. The cars where a gift for me & my Siblings on my Fathers 65th birthday.
She was one of three identical cars purchased at the same time, LIB 612, LIB 613 and LIB 614. My car LIB 614 was registered to Phillips (Lion motors) Ltd, my Fathers business on 01-02-1988 in Grand Prix White with Navy half leather pinstripe seats. The cars V5 was then changed into my own name (Michael Philips) however I have owned the car from new.
In February 1990 when the car had its first service with Agnews it had 6000 miles, 2nd service November 1994 with 12,700 miles. In February 1996 the car was serviced with 17,480 miles & the alarm was replaced as the original was faulty & those invoices are present.At some point in the 90’s the service book was misplaced & I cannot recall what happened to it, its possible I left it in Agnews at the time to get it stamped & didn’t get back for it. I never imagined I’d part with the car so subsequently never got a replacement book, I do however have the original handbooks & the associated invoices.
November 1996 the car was back with Agnews with a starting fault which turned to be faulty sensor (invoice supplied)
I have most of the Mots, starting in 1994 when the car was 6 years old where it had 8230 mies. Over the next few years I have the mot certificates where the car had 18750 miles by 1997. I then parked the Car in the garage in Belfast for a number of years until I mot’d the car again in February 2000 with 21000 miles. In early 2000 the clutch had gone & Alan Roddy stripped & sent the gearbox to Agnews to get the work done & the clutch was sorted.
Coming home from my Sisters house mid summer one evening in the early 90’s I remember clipping the front wheel on a cobble & actually had to replace the wheel & tyre, when I realised the costs of parts & servicing , I only drove it on special occasions after this.
In January 2001 the milage at most was 24212 & by 2003 the car had only 26195 at its time of mot. In 2004 the miles were 26,608 & Alan Roddy carried out the removal of the oil tank & due to the car lying up, quite a substantial amount of work was carried out at this time again with a supplied invoice. It did 200 miles that year and then retested 2005 with 26876 miles. I kept the car taxed but didn’t test it and when I got around to doing it in 2008 the 911 had 26,927 miles.
The car was stored in Antrim at my Fathers, I recall starting it after a long period of idIe use & the garage filled with smoke. Not knowing this was common & could happen to old 911s. I decided to have the engine rebuilt and this was carried out in 2007. This again was carried out by Alan Roddy with supplied invoice.
In 2008 I had had enough of looking after the car in all honesty, sorned the car and she lay in my fathers garage in Antrim.
In July 2019 McMillan specialist cars pulled the 911 out of the garage in Antrim & transported it to their premised where it again sat for some time. I have expansive invoices from them. At great expense & the car was mot’d once again in 2020 with 27,010 miles. My final time of mot testing the car came in March 2022 where she had 27,672 miles. I moved house to Holywood at this stage & stored the car in my garage.
By this stage I had retired and thought I could look after her a bit more but I finally came to the decision into part with the car in August 2022 after 34 years. Although supplied with the car I had to keep my original registration as a brief memory of my time with her
signed Michael Phillips
There you have it folks a genuine 1 owner car with low mileage with a fresh engine build for good measure.
The pictures tell the story of this wonderful car

BORDER REIVERS THE ORIGINAL OUTLAWS
VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
RUF RGT (RHD)
May 9, 2024
Wow, We are delighted to be offering a right hand drive RUF at Border Reivers. This is a company Ive personally admired. I was delighted when our clients at 911 Assistant in Bangkok had been awarded the RUF franchise for Thailand.
For those unfamiliar with RUF the company/manufacture.
The history of Ruf goes back to 1939, when the founder, Alois Ruf, Sr. opened a repair garage in 1939. They didn’t really start to become synonymous with tuning Porsches until the son, Alois Ruf, Jr., took over the company in 1974. He became known for modifying stock Porsche 911 Turbos that delivered more power and performance than any stock version. In 1981, they officially became RUF Automobile Gmbh, a manufacturer of automobiles. This is crucial to their history because it’s what would differentiate them from the Tech Arts and Gemballas of the world, and later Singers, Guntherwerks,. When you bought a Ruf, you didn’t own a Porsche, you owned a Ruf. Your vin and title did not say Porsche on it anymore.
Initially, Ruf bought bodies in white from a Porsche dealership just like anyone would buy parts from a dealer. Buying a body shell or chassis is something you used to be able to do if your Porsche was so damaged that it was cheaper to replace the shell than fix the bodywork. From the bodies in white, Ruf would modify most every aspect of the car, including the suspension, the engine and transmission, and, of course, the interior. Even the body received enough changes that you immediately knew you were looking at something special when you saw a Ruf. To give you an idea of how special, the CTR Yellowbird was, it had a 3.2-liter turbocharged flat six that produced 463 horsepower. In 1987, Porsche’s own 911 Turbo in 1987 made only 282 horsepower. Furthermore, due to the fact that it used a narrow body instead of the Turbo’s wide body, was lighter weight, and had a unique five-speed manual instead of the four-speed, it was able to reach a top speed of 213 miles per hour. Contrast this with the factory 911 Turbo’s 157-mph v-max and you can see how Ruf established itself in the lexicon of limited-production, high-performance Porsches.
While an enthusiast may see the relationship between a “tuner” and a manufacturer as a positive thing, the manufacturers see it differently when it has no control over what the tuner does. In 2013, Porsche purchased a controlling interest in Manthey-Racing GbmH. This is why you will see Porsche dealers selling and installing the Manthey-Racing kit for Porsches, as well as Manthey-Racing 911s entered in GT classes as factory efforts.
Porsche does not own Ruf. In fact, it’s safe to say that they look at Ruf as a competitor of sorts. While Ruf’s production numbers are miniscule compared to Porsche’s, they do compete when it comes to exclusivity, which Porsche offers its customers with both the Exclusive Manufaktur and Sonderwunsch programs. They allow customers to have their Porsches individualized while still retaining the Porsche brand.
This car was sold new by Chapelgate Porsche 01-01-2000 (C16) as a GT3 However a chance meeting with Alois Ruf Jnr which led to a lunch date & the start of a long friendship with the RUF Family. As a result of the meetings & the forming of the new friendship Alois agreed to take the GT3 & convert it to a RUF RGT on its existing chassis.
The history file contains a letter from the owner telling of his relationship with Alois Ruf & the adventure he had with the car.
FYI for all the early gamers the 911 was not sanctioned by Porsche to be used in games so most with remember the RGT name, well this is the car for real.
The car looks very similar to a stock GT3 to the untrained eye however to those who know …………
Exterior
Its been stripped of any Porsche badging & replaced with RUF badging
The most incredible sound system (I don’t know how to start describing this ….. so I won’t)

We really do love finding great cars and this beautiful 968 Club Sport is a real prize. Owned by a friend & Porsche club member since the car was just over 3 year old & pampered since.
The car was pre registered by the suppling dealer Lancaster Porsche (30-09-1994) & sold to its 1st owner Ms Nichole (22-10-1994) She sold the car within 6 months to its 2nd owner Mr Smith (05-04-1995) and our client Purchased the car from GlenVarigill Porsche (02-04-1998)
This Club Sport is in outstanding condition and we had nothing to do, regarding preparation.

Whats not to like & priced well for an exceptional car.
Model history
From 1993 through 1995, Porsche offered a lighter-weight “Club Sport” version of the 968 designed for enthusiasts seeking increased track performance. Much of the 968’s luxury-oriented equipment was removed or taken off the options list; less sound deadening material was used, electrical windows were replaced with crank-driven units, upgraded stereo systems, A/C and sunroof were still optional as on the standard Coupe and Convertible models. In addition, Porsche installed manually adjustable lightweight Recaro racing seats rather than the standard power-operated leather buckets (also manufactured by Recaro), a revised suspension system optimised and lowered by 20 mm for possible track use, 17-inch wheels (also slightly wider to accommodate wider tyres) rather than the 16-inch as found on the Coupe and wider tyres, 225 front and 255 rear rather than 205 and 225 respectively. The four-spoke airbag steering wheel was replaced with a thicker-rimmed three-spoke sports steering wheel with no airbag, heated washer jets were replaced with non heated, vanity covers in the engine bay were deleted, as was the rear wiper. The Club Sport has no rear seats.
Club Sport models were only available in Grand Prix White, black, Speed yellow, Guards red, Riviera blue or Maritime blue exterior colours. Seat backs were colour-coded to the body. Club Sport decals were standard but there was a ‘delete’ option. All Club Sports had black interiors with the 944 S2 door cards. Due to the reduction in the number of electrical items the wiring loom was reduced in complexity which saved weight and also the battery was replaced with a smaller one, again reducing weight. With the no frills approach meaning less weight, as well as the optimising of the suspension, Porsche could focus media attention on the Club Sport variants fast road and track abilities. This helped to slightly bolster the flagging sales figures in the mid-1990s. The Club Sport variant achieved a ‘Performance Car Of The Year’ award in 1993 from Performance Car magazine in the UK. Club Sport models were only officially available in the UK, Europe, Japan & Australia, although “grey market” cars found their way elsewhere. The declared weight of the 968 CS is 1,320 kg (2,910 lb), ~100 kg (220 lb) lighter than the regular 968. Acceleration from a standstill to 97 km/h (60 mph) takes 5.6 seconds and top speed is 260 km/h (162 mph).
A UK-only version called “968 Sport”, was offered in 1994 and 1995, and was essentially a Club Sport model (and was produced on the same production line with similar chassis numbers) with electric windows, electric release boot, central locking, cloth comfort seats (different from both the standard and the Club Sport). With the added electrics the larger wiring loom was used. The Sport Variant also got back the two rear seats, again in the cloth material specific to the Sport. At £29,975, the 968 Sport was priced £5,500 lower than the standard 968, but had most of the latter’s desirable “luxuries” and consequently outsold it by a large margin (306 of the 968 Sport models compared to 40 standard 968 coupés).
Porsche 356A RHD
April 26, 2024
Border Reivers are delighted to offer this amazingly prepared right hand drive Porsche 356A from 1956.

2022 Border Reivers are asked to drive the car on the Monte Carlo Rally.
Now turn key, this little Porsche is ready to take on the rally world once more. Offered in its original colour of Aquamarine, the car comes with its original buff & green, old style log books & FIA rally papers. The car still has its original registration number VKA 527.

1 Owner E-TYPE
January 3, 2024
Border Reivers have done it again, offering yet another incredible low mileage car to the market.
One lady owner from new’ is a well-used expression that has pervaded the motor trade for decades and refers to the mythical situation where suddenly a car becomes available that has covered very few miles, is in wonderful condition, and has only been lightly used and kept warm and dry by its one lady owner. A rare occurrence, never really happens you might think, but, it’s not a myth, it does happen, and this E-Type is the perfect example. According to its accompanying Heritage Certificate, this left-hand drive, Series 2 Jaguar E-Type OTS was originally finished in Pale Primrose Yellow with a Black interior – the colour scheme it pleasingly wears today. Manufactured on 22nd August 1968, it was dispatched to Herrington Motors of Montgomery, New York State and purchased by its first and only private keeper, a Miss Sarah J Hammer. The car was indeed used lightly for the first 17 years covering only 45,000 miles until, in 1985, a long-term illness prevented Miss Hammer from driving her beloved E-Type and it was put into storage. There it was to remain for the next 29 years until its inevitable sale. There is a letter with the car from Miss Hammer in late August 2015 confirming her sole ownership and the mileage of 45,063 at that point. Prior to its return to the UK the car was subject to a mechanical overhaul by Klaus Motors of New York. On its arrival here it was treated to a full service with fresh fluids and fitted with a new brake servo, brake and clutch master cylinders, a stainless steel exhaust, five new period-correct Dunlop tyres, and a new hood and carpets by Aldridge Trimmers. A matching chassis and engine numbers example, the car is accompanied by the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, a collection of invoices, handbooks, original wallet with service book, and the original jack and hammer in their bag. The original advisory sticker is still on the speedo and 70’s service stickers have been left in place on the B-post. There is also a NOVA document confirming all taxes paid and a current MOT with ‘no advisories’. This is indeed a rare opportunity. A ‘one lady owner from new’ low mileage, Primrose E-Type with perfect provenance and a chance to become its second custodian.it is surely unrepeatable.A rare opportunity indeed.

History The Jaguar E-Type, or the Jaguar XK-E for the North American market, is a British sports car that was manufactured by Jaguar Cars Ltd between 1961 to 1975. Its combination of beauty, high performance, and competitive pricing established the model as an icon of the motoring world. The E-Type’s 150 mph (241 km/h) top speed, sub-7-second 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration, monocoque construction, disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and independent front and rear suspension distinguished the car and spurred industry-wide changes. The E-Type was based on Jaguar’s D-Type racing car, which had won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three consecutive years beginning 1955, and employed a racing design with both the body tub and engine bolted directly to the frame. On its release in March 1961, Enzo Ferrari called the E-Type “the most beautiful car ever made”. In 2004, Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in The Daily Telegraph online list of the world’s “100 most beautiful cars” of all time. Outside automotive circles, the E-type has, with prominent placement in Austin Powers films (claim to fame European Collectibles sold the Shaguar to the movie studios and did the restoration including the union jack flag paint job) and the television series Mad Men, become cemented as an icon of its era. The Series 1 was introduced, initially for export only, in March 1961. The domestic market launch came four months later in July 1961. The cars at this time used the triple SU carburetted 3.8-litre six-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S. Earlier built cars utilized external bonnet latches which required a tool to open and had a flat floor design. These cars are rare and more valuable. After that, the floors were dished to provide more leg room and the twin bonnet latches moved to inside the car. The 3.8-litre engine was increased to 4.2 liters in October 1964. Automotive journalists consistently ranked the Jaguar E-Type roadster as one of the most beautiful cars ever built. We couldn’t agree more. In fact, that seems to be the consensus with everyone. People are just drawn to E-types.
Its road tax exempt, mot exempt & its also exempt from the London T-charge being a historic vehicle & from 7th Sept 2020, all historic vehicles will be exempt from the ULEZ. The 24/7 zone will have the same borders as the current Congestion Charge Zone

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

Border Reivers are looking for a new home for the wee cute one.
Just arrived into stock at Border Reivers, this Stunningly beautiful Porsche 911-993 C4S. Perhaps the closest you’ll ever get to owning a new 993 C4S totally immaculate in every respect with full detailed service history & only 19k miles. These wide-bodied cars are the pinnacle of the 993’s & is the most collectible model of the 993 range (out with the limited production cars like the GT/RS models), cleaner lines than the Turbo but with the same wide body in fact it is essentially the Turbo without the engine & spoiler. Not only is this the perfect car its also the perfect colour combo, what’s not to Love? This Porsche is investment quality. You may have an impossible wait for another like this.
Border Reivers are delighted yet again to be able to deliver the best low milage cars to the market. This 1988 Porsche 3.2 has covered only 28k miles from new with a single owner. That folks is an average of 800 miles per year (take that in for a second)
