One question ... I don't see any heat exchangers on the headers! How does this thing make heat in the car? I used to have many older air cooled 911s and ofter thought about just installing headers and forgetting about heat but in the end that was always a bit too extreeme. So how does Singer do it?

Magnificent ! Were you able to drive it in California? If so, impressions? If not, how was it that Harris was able to drive it?
Thank you Guys!
Haven't driven it yet. I just went to see it this afternoon. CH asked Singer to testdrive a car and mine had just been finished so I gave my permission. He loved it!
Here are more pics! First time I saw the car in person and I am speechless. A true work of art. Fantastic, the craftsmanship, the level of finish is beyond anything I have ever seen on a car! Utterly fabulous!
The detail that , to me, summarizes the irreverant joyfulness of this whole endeavor is the tach scale , inspired by the classic line from the movie Spinal Tap when asked how they can play so much louder than their competitors , " ( our amps ) these go to 11 on the dial " !
this car is obviously so much fun because its tach " goes to 11 " , which should be the personalized license plate for its owners

Usually I am not a fan of older cars but this car is incredible. If there is a sweet spot in the old car world this is it.
See - on stuff that really matters we see eye to eye!
Love the SInger - now how about Heat in that thing?
PS - I don't watch Seinfeld much but I watched it the other day - in his apartment (on the show) is a poster of my Avatar! I think Jerry has a Singer as well. If not he would be the perfect client for one.

The Dickinson family are a talented bunch. Rob is not only an accomplished guitarist and singer... which is where the name "Singer" derived from, but his cousin Bruce, who I had dealings with when promoting "Iron Maiden" in the 80's, went on to qualify as a commercial airline pilot! Some folks seem to have it all!

I have no idea. I'll find out.

Absolutely stunning, a car you could spend hours just soaking in the details...
The bucket seats pictured do not seem to be the ones fitted to the car, did you order two sets? i.e. Road/track-seat?
Well spotted Porker. The bucket seat Rob sent me as a pic is a prototype for future cars with more trackdays in mind. The ones fitted to my car are just prefect for road use, adjustable in every direction and yet excellent support and very soft cushioning.
