Default Radnor Concours... Singer!

Check out my newly posted blog piece on this annual event:
http://travelthroughpictures.com/pho...s-radnor-2015/

This Singer was not in the show, but in the parking lot.

This parking lot is for attendees with cool cars.... the lot was huge loaded with classics, Lambos, Ferraris, Porsches... Audis.... Mercedes... millions worth of toys. It was getting almost as much foot traffic as the main event.

The owner said it took 1.5 years for them to develop the car for him. I didn't ask the price, but someone else said it was $375K.... or maybe that is the lowest price you can get out for.... don't remember.

Peace
Bruce in Philly

Bruce,
Great pics. We should try to organize a run out to the Simeone museum with a bunch of Pcars one day. I imagine there are quite a few of us in the area

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. I was planning to go on Saturday but the weather looked iffy so I decided to wash and detail my car instead. I've been to this show a number of times and enjoy it very much.

Gents, I would love to be included in any such plan (assuming I'd be welcome and not "crashing" -- unfortunate choice of words, I'm sure).

P.S. - Bruce, nice pictures. That Singer is beautiful.

Cheers,
J.

I'm not on their mailing list. Will get on that for sure. My one daughter loves cars and is always up for a ride. There are so many of us here in the greater Philly region we should do a cars and coffee thing

So far that is the nicest color combo I have seen.

I am assuming the price is due to the options and this looks to have the 3.6l motor which is nice but for $375k over the cost of a 964 there is a lot anyone can do to a 964.

I saw one at the PCA corral at Laguna last month. Dark blue with cashmere interior. It looked a lot better executed than the gray/orange one that's in CT.

As someone already said, definitely one of the more classy color combos to date.


The engine setup is the most basic I've ever seen on a Singer. With the exception of the rerouted AC barrier hoses and the RS heater duct, everything looks like standard factory 964. Still has an AFM (so I'm guessing it's still on Motronic), dual distributor, stock plenum, stock airbox, power steering, all the factory busy-ness around the throttle body, etc.

This car had the inside of the frunk lid polished.

Now that's some detailing...

Polished? Or no Crinkle paint? In 94 the 964 no longer received the crinkle paint and has the same finish as the exterior. So it will reflect images the same way the side of the car does.
