As some of you know, I have ordered a Singer. It will be chassis No4.
For those who don't know, a Singer is basically a hand made 911 with old 60s look and modern tech like 964 chassis with ABS, power steering, 993 engine tuned by Cosworth and carbon fiber body panels by Aria.
Final product looks absolutely amazing, drives fantastic and is so much fun.
My car will be highly specced with 390 hp for about 1200 kgs.
The level of personalisation is endless. Chassis 4 will be Singer racing white with black and red interior. The specifically designed bucket seats are a work of art, modern bucket with retro style.
I met Rob Dickinson in LA this Xmas, the man is simply awesome, a wizzard! And the quality of his work is truly outstanding.
Here are a few pics of the work in progress, the car will be ready this summer.
I can only say...."yum yum yum"!!
Congratulations!! I've been looking at Singer for a while too and have tremendous respect for their work. Please do let us know your impressions of driving the finished article. It may persuade me to go and pay them a visit

Its amazing the way every minute detail is taken care of. If I were you I'd probably just stare at it for days after delivery being amazed at every little thing before actually taking it out and driving the heck out of it.
Seriously?
I think I'd set up a tent on the driveway of the Singer production facility!
I don't know what it is with this car, but the combination of fabulous looks, modern-day comfort&safety and high-tech with a minute eyer for detail is almost literally making my mouth water.

You're right that seems way more appropriate.

This is beyond insane. The level of crafstmanship, evething is bespoke, a true work of art! Car should be completed within a month, then shipping to London should only take a few days. Hopefully a you will have my impressions sometime in October.
I know Richard Meaden is doing an article on it which should be published in the magazine EVO.
