I am in the Glasgow area if you need any assistance & have no connection whatsoever.

I think they are more into 944 models.

I did see some posts on the PCGB forum recently where someone was very complimentary about them - I think he traded in a vehicle & they handled the collection of his vehicle/ delivery of the supplied vehicle.

Happy to help if I can.

This was the post I saw on PCGB - 27 October 2016

my "new" s2 is home with a huge thanks to Mark at the moderm classic car co
hiya,,,,
i have my dove/copehagen blue s2 with 115k miles safely tucked up in my garage and connnected to my c-tek charger and we are back home on Monday,,,,,
my s2 is a 1990 and was delivered down from Scotland yesterday after 5pm,,,,,
she has a great history with a marine blue interior with leather and velour seats,,, every mot and a thick folder with over a hundred sleeves thats full of bills and not including the mots! and everything works perfectly,,,
lots of preent work done including cambelt in 2014,,new discs,,pads,sensors,,flexis,etc,etc,,new clutch at 80k miles,,,,
i am very happy with her and need to give her a good run when we get home,,,,
i would like to mention that Mark H from the modern classic car co was a pleasure to deal from the very start to the present,,,
after receiving over a least 60-70 hd pics of the car and Marks totally positive atitude also when intially i made him aware that it was Ron Smiths car that i wanted but after hardly any interest in my SL and another SL that was the same year as mine but with 10k miles less then mine and a immaculate car which couldnt sell in the high 7k pounds that i knew then i could not buy Rons car so after calling Ron last friday evening then after that call i then contacted Mark and put a small deposit so not to lose the blue s2,,,,,
My s2 seems lovely and buying this car from Mark really was a very positive,,fun and happy experience and i would recommend him to anyone who wants a nice car,,,,,
i watched my SL disappear on the back of a transporter on a journey to Glasgow and my S2 was brought back the following day but at no stage did i feel anxious or have any "bad" feelings about our deal,,,, our deal was a real pleasure and Marks old style "word of mouth" warrenty was the icing on the cake,,,,,,a very nice chap and a huge co-incidence [ i use no other social media except pcgb and watch forum] that we are both members of the same watch forum so often ended up talking watches instead of cars,,,,,,
pics will be put on soon but i am so glad i have an s2 back in my garage and massive thanks to Mark at the modern classic car company up in Glasgow,,,,,,,,,,
my work for the future is mot in March then i have camchain done and anything else she may need but thats my choice also needs some nice new mats and possibly a trip down to Cool-it ltd to have air con retro fitted next summer but thats i while off and just cant wait to get home monday and get her on he road,,,,,
some pics to follow,,,,,,
thanks jasonp

Stay well clear. Messed me around on a 968 sport / club sport that ended up having an corrosion holes in the chassis that was picked up on an MOT. Was great when selling and then his partner got all snotty after the corrosion was found and I pulled out. . Just glad I got out of it without costing me a penny. Buyer beware I'd say.

Thanks for the offers of help in viewing and comments etc.. he said the car was nearly concours and on the phone was very nice to talk to but i spoke to the guy who brought the car off him originaly who complimented him and said the car was very nice but not perfect as the dealer was trying to pass it off as.The car was sold to someone else before it went back to the dealer again. I spoke to him and he had the car for about 2 months cashing in at quite a big loss just to get it gone. Infact he said the car was only worth what he sold it for anyway. He had paid over the odds for it. Rear offside wheelarch has had major welding and starting to show through. One correct sill with pressing and one pattern sill without, tatty interior and incorrect fixing of panels. A knocking sound which couldnt be located probably top suspension mount or something at a price he was asking of 12k which is pretty much top money. I researched on pcgb and other forums before i committed to it without seeing and people on the forums have been very helpful and i am fully gratefull to all those who helped me not only walk away from this one but to find a perfect car in exactly the same colour and is a concours winner(thanks jasonp). Finely detailed car.
So thanks to all and long live the forums
