hello dan,
i come from a road transport background(my dad was an owner driver for 20 odd years,owned loads of bedford km artics,a scania 80 super,ford transcontinental and a detroit powered bedford tm amongst others!)
i would love to be able to afford to get into the preservation scene,but cant justify it financially...
good luck with your search,any particular reason you want a borderer?- i remember sitting in one as a kid and couldnt believe how noisey it was lol. cheers,andrew

the scania is a LB 141 heller/airfix kit. theres a few on ebay at the moment for around 40 quid.mines modified quite a bit,(cut down to a day cab from a sleeper,shortened wheelbase,6 pot engine instead of v8).
