Because I happened to speak with someone who mentioned that Singer was delayed in paying suppliers for some time and that they are now paying past due bills. Although it could simply be a temporary cash flow issue, or possibly bad bookkeeping, cash shortages in that type of business are not uncommon and usually remedied by an infusion of new money.

Btw, e.g., Ruf has, in the past, had financial difficulties and Aston Martin has gone bankrupt seven times.

Still carrying a grudge, Robert...? You should move on.

The only grudge is the one you seem to want to invent for reasons known only to you. I do not have one and never did. Further, you might come out into the light of day with your real name rather than an internet alias and disclose what, if any, is your connection with Singer (e.g., shareholder, debt investor, employee, supplier, car owner, etc.). Also, are you saying that Singer was not over recent times paying suppliers slowly or not at all for some period? In fact, if this is not true and I have told a falsehood, I very much apologize. My other point about, e.g., Ruf and Aston Martin, is that things happen, but they survived as I am sure Singer will. In fact, I was trying to make the point that Singer, like Ruf and Aston, should survive.

P.S. I hope you did not see my question re a new investor as anything negative, if you did, you might want to ask yourself why you are so negative. Public companies have new investors almost every day and private companies and funds have frequent investor changes. Indeed, oftentimes a new investor or new investors bring(s) about enhanced long term viability/stability.

Back on topic, OP - splendid car and looks like we’re local to one another. I believe the guys at Dougherty mentioned you were by there recently? They’re great, have had them do some mods on several of my cars, including the TTS this Fall. Let’s catch up at one of the local events, e.g. C&C Malvern or others - would LOVE to see you car in-person. My next Porsche may well be a Singer or other restomod.

Gear Patrol vid on the car.

The sound is amazing and tbh I love the black fuchs instead of the bronze finish. The car looks so menacing.

I’d love to get the minilites in the same finish as the “black nickel”

Nice video OP. Your passion for the car is evident. And I know you're going to drive it not just look at it which is awesome!

Congrats on a gorgeous car! Here for the pics and vids.

What’s the purpose of those extra hood lights and why are they called “driver’s lights”? Whose else could they be?

Thanks man! Yes I've known Bill, or well I should say he's had to deal with me since I was 16 and got into PCA clubracing then Grand-Am back in the day. Beyond love those guys there. I nearly never make it to any cars and coffee things anymore given my schedule (Ironically was part of the 10 or so people who started the original in West Chester, PA pre it moving back around 2005), but I'm sure Ill end up at some event!

It was fun shooting with those guys, and the Petrolicious video should be coming out pretty soon too...never done this kind of stuff before but it's definitely a blast.

The only reason you get involved with restoring a car with SVD is when you've got passion IMHO. Nothing on the planet like creating your own perfect 911 with those guys behind the design table. The car is just immensely satisfying and thrilling every time I take it out.

I did the hood lights for the extra light at night honestly. They didnt get the rest of the deer reasoning, but we've got a lot of deer in PA and back when I was actually club racing I hit a deer at Summit Point while I had a huge lead in my class, so I figured the extra light for the later night drives was a smart thing. I've also got a front trunk being made without them for historic aesthetics...the best part about these is they are kind of living...they can change when you want them to!

Have seen the car in person at Zuffenhausen 2. The colors, fit and finish is simply amazing in the flesh.

Congrats to you and the Singer folks on a great build.
