I must admit, I use think it was a sacrilegious to do such massive mods to what I thought was a perfect (or close) to perfect car....I'm starting to think I was wrong after seeing that video. Impressive work. Pretty down to earth team putting it together too.
Thanks for sharing it.

Nice video of the shell being built up... and great exhaust sound at the end of the video!

This is the best Singer vid I've seen.

Hilarious!!!

Here's a Singer want-to-be. Obviously a lot of work went into this car, but it just doesn't have the same presence... (and also probably not $350,00+ either)
It has lots of nice features. I'd love to see more pics. Anyone lurking on RL that owns this car?

Thanks for the link, will be interesting to watch this sale!
Just noticed it has deleted rain gutters. Nice touch.

You mean I can get a clone of a clone and still have 300k in my pocket!? Sweet!

Seriously, I would prefer that.

The Singer video is FABULOUS! Just makes you fall in love with the 911 concept all over again. And there's one in my garage!!!!!

It's funny though; some of the retro styling really doesn't do it for me - yet I love the passion with which they've set about creating that masterpiece. My imaginary shopping list now contains:
* CF wings
* Those headlights
* That suspension
* Those brakes
* That engine. Actually, maybe just the engine would do it for me.

Hmm. Shame my wallet doesn't want to play ball...

Great videos !! Thanks
They are fantastic cars , it terms of shape they are close to the STR....!?
The engine seams fabulous , I am not a great fan of their seats, I found them bulky, I would have still fit a kind of Recaro shape bucket, with a nice trim & stitches....

Every time someone like Singer takes a 964 and bastardizes it, it only makes my car worth more money in its original condition. With only 64,000 of them produced world-wide, sooner or later they will run out of cars. Love it!
