Great news! I should have know better given the level of detail PS puts into these cars... Plus the front wheels were a clear give away too. Still, very impressed that they go to the trouble of adding torsion bar car jack points! Details.
You mentioned an upcoming film? Can't wait.

I don't see how this is not a 964 based long nose conversion. There are far too many obvious 964 touches.
Interior is 964 from upper and lower dash, center console with airbag setup, complete ventilation system, controls and layout, carpet . Gauges, switches, front and rear window molding, rear deck lid hinges with spacers needed to backdate to older style lid, 964 engine including fuse panel and I believe the bolt patterns on the 964 for the locking mechanisms are different as well just to name a few.
Why would anyone go through all the energy to convert these to 964 style for a backdate?

If he is talking about the white with green stripes than I see your point. If that was a 964 it took some extensive undercarriage changes to make it look authentic.

I see what you are saying. When I first read the quote it was attached to the DP white over red car posted quotes by Henrik964 post number 386. I was assuming that was what he was talking about.

My car was used for moving shots and they interviewed me as I drove it around rural England, and when my amazing (cough...) acting skills weren't required I had lots of time to look at it and compare to mine. Although I love my car and it is exactly what I personally wanted, objectively the Monaco car is overall a significantly higher quality car than mine, the detail and craftmanship on it is simply amazing. The guy who owns it spared no expense. I think you'll see some of it in the video.

Can a front bumper be made that has the looks of a longhood but keeps the 964's original shorthood? I'm not 100% convinced but here's a nice effort.

Recently, the Singer Vehicle Design retained Burns Stainless to design, and fabricate the exhaust headers and muffler system for the exquisite Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer.
The exhaust header was designed and optimized for the Cosworth-developed flat-6 engine utilizing the Burns X-Design program. The prototype header was built on a mule car provided by Singer. Once the design was approved following dynamometer and road testing, production fixtures were built and production commenced. Burns was also retained by Singer to design, prototype and produce a custom exhaust muffler that would properly fit the car and provide the characteristic 911 sound. “Great skill, great service, great people,” says Rob Dickinson, Creative Director at Singer Vehicle Design, “I can't recommend Burns Stainless more highly, they have risen to every challenge we have presented them with enthusiasm, patience, good humour and exquisite solutions.”

Any idea of the cost?

Rothsport will do a nice center exhaust based on gt3 muffler. It is around 4 grand with headers and heat. I would jump on one if it was closer to 3 grand - Think Jeff will do a group buy;-)
