Yep...

"SVD bases their machines on the 1990-1994 964 platform for its perfect blend of vintage 911® character and technical sophistication..."

Anyone else just feel their car value tick up a notch?

I wonder why the switch from 9M to Cosworth for the engine?

I love how they use leather straps for the cables in the engine!

That would be nice, but if anything, it may only be because of perception change, not because of Singer scooping them up. I'd be really surprised if Singer sold/built more than 3 more of these cars (6 total), ever.

Totally, it's all perception... but I sense people eventually waking up to the value of these cars... look at what's happened to the pre 89 911... they've gone out of sight.

Colin has already commented on this in another thread. The main reasons are logistics (having your engine builder just around the corner) and taxes/import duties.

+1; the values of 964-chassis 911s is out of whack. Eventually marketplace efficiency will fix this.

Well nothing screams classic Porsche like a crappy, outdated radio
