Anyone heard of Border (Bodies) in Europe?

[mrlexan]

Ran across these..... coolest thing since the invention of the wheel in my opinion..... bscotti will prob appreciate this post, Mr fellow ALMS/IMSA fan. They are from Border, I assume in Europe somewhere. I googled it and came up empty. Any of you folks over there know anything about them? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry no idea but if they are from this side of the puddle the rest of the Europeans better be quick with their guesses before Terry.sc gets here

They are based in the Netherlands

Bodies are by Blade. They are being sold by The Border (retail).

Doug, if you order from DDrive, they are cheaper (link courtesy of mr. terrysc): http://www.d-drivesportsenglish.com/

I wonder if they are actually made by Cross, or if they had there hand in it. There is a pic of the Toyota (unpainted) on their website over top of their new GT pan chassis.

Oooohhhh, that's gonna be bad for my bank account.

It certainly does look like it, that body isn't the same one that Cross has in their spare body list. Looks like Blade is a new Japanese company.

When I sent Jay that link the shop had only just opened, so popped over there to see what additions there were. Stupidly I checked the links on the bottom right. After finding this page I so want to get the old f103 out and start rebuilding it. Just take a close look at the second car down

Oh man... this is REALLY bad.

I really love this forum... my wallet surely won't though.

Wonder if that 1/12 934 will fit over a 959 chassis? Be cool to do a pre 959 Paris Dakar 911.

Yeah, exactly...

It was such a good idea, someone else had it as well.

There is another one I ran across in 1/10 scale, but I can't find the pic. It is also on TC somewhere.... Terry prob knows.

Related to the pic above, I am making the assumption that he used a Tamtech 934 body, but for the life of me I can't figure out what he did for the front chin spoiler..... I would imagine, custom made?
