That's a whole lot of ugly for a million.
I'd take a CGT long before that like Ronan siad.

Not surprised at all...
You'll learn of second-hand Singers by speaking directly with Singer in LA. But it's not like there's a list of them waiting for re-sale. Maybe one if you happen to call at the right time.

As for the waiting time for a new one, it's longer now than it used to be, but I'm not certain it's as long as two years. They have come a long way in ramping up to accomodate demand.

Listing in usd? Wouldn't be surprised. Bait and switch?

That is true, later they sent a photo of the VW Corrado with the Pagani and other car to jalopnik.

That Corrado was expensive though.

It's for sale. No gimmick.

Unless, of course, it's sold.

At that price, it really isn't.
Several Singer owners are on their second (or third) commission, so there are cars for sale with reasonable frequency, usually through Singer. A RL member just bought a car in Europe. A friend with a Singer in the US was offered cars while waiting for his build slot to come up, I suppose in case he didn't want to wait or at least wanted something in the meantime.

Whatever the case, the asking price is detached from reality, especially for such a, um, unique spec.

With the low Canadian dollar they might have had a quick sale to a US dealer or collector. Will be interesting to see if it pops up again.

I love most singer coupes, but the interior of this one is just too obnoxious for me. It was a nice attempt tho, went non traditional and kudos for that.

I recently specced out a singer and the price is not that crazy given the build.

One can quibble about the colour choices.

I'd definitely own one if the $CAD wasn't so pathetic.

I wonder if Singer would take the car in to change that interior pattern for the buyer. I'm sure they aren't thrilled about having their name associated with it.

I am the previous owner of this Singer, when it was still a black on black 1991 964C2 from Switzerland. The car was commissioned by Pfaff as their first Singer, and the car is in Vancouver now.
