Dave. One of the RL guys just received his Singer and the photos have gone up on their site. Lovely finish and detail.

Thoughts?
Keen and happy to pay for it for my trip to Taupo for NITT :-)

Can't resist that offer. Accepted. I've been eyeing up BB's hatch space so may well contribute to get some wheels to Taupo I have the week before the NITT off and will look to sort out the driver seatbelt situation with the race seat staying in place. I'll see if we can get BB back to town after the 23rd to make it all easier. Not long to go now. Let's hope she isn't mortally wounded by the two runs she has beforehand!

Beautiful isn't it? You'd feel pretty good about your product/services with something like this as the end result.

Got me hooked. They are looking superb. Maybe a tad more modest on the wheel and tyre size? I'll suggest that on my order.
Did you see the green one with purple interior? Who would think that combination would work but it is quite appealing.

Those Singers are a piece of art alright. After getting the first cut of indicative costings for Lola I've been dreaming and googling 964 full carbon fibre backdates. Seems A lot cheaper than steel, super light weight. Anyway, lots more thinking and research to do.

An example

Their colours are all quite pastel and very well integrated. Love the interior, leather covered roll cage and doesn't the boot look so clean. Where's the ABS etc been shifted to I wonder

They sure are sobering figures Doug, however as I wrote there's a number of ways to source parts, of which breaking a whole car and taking parts for Lola seems to be the most economic.

It's opened my eyes to the reality as to what a bingle in these cars means and perversely the opportunities that a parts business might have. The more that's invested in these cars the bigger the market for used parts. I don't intend for Herman to become a source so need to think carefully about risk / reward from here on.
