"Manchester" Singer spotted in the wild

[anniesdad]

So I just popped out to have a look at one of our company vans when I spotted this parked on our business centre car park....

...my jaw literally dropped. I'm sure you guys can appreciate the car's amazing "used" patina.

My iphone shot's are a bit questionable but here's a link to better ones of the actual car. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3n5kxhg91xy4vyk/AADTHOl...

Hope you enjoy them.

WOW

Not sure about the interior but what a car!!!

One of the touches I really like about other Singer 911's I have seen are the exposed external oil and fuel fillers. I wouldn't want the central fuel filler but love the oil filler on the side.

Stunning!

[mollytherocker]

Utterly scrumptious. Looks like a daily!

With you on the central filler, would rather retain the wing mounted original.
Now about that colour, it reminds me of something going on in my life currently, aah yes, I have a bad head cold at the moment .....

Good spot Steve, think you need a new camera though, there seems to be some pixelation of the interior trim

Nice spot, very rare car but the interior is pants, (ugh!) like a TR7.

I saw this car in Bury earlier.

[SydneyBridge]

Absolutely love it.
Cannot be many Singers in the Uk

[Robbo66]

First Singer I've seen that has totally underwhelmed.

[monthefish]

Great spot, but the colour and interior make it look pretty rubbish (never thought I'd say that of a Singer)

My office is in Bury where the pictures were taken. I can well understand why the colour and interior aren't to everyone's taste. It's not really mine but it suits the car and I think as a whole is fantastic. I certainly wouldn't turf it out of bed.

[anniesdad]

I reckon Monkey would appreciate the colour...check out those pumps!

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Amazing bit of kit. Personally, the colour scheme is horrendous but then isn't that what such a brilliant project is all about? Building whatever the funk you want for you and yours to enjoy.

I applaud the owner!

Sorry that did come over a little strong
I do maintain that they are hugely overrated though .

[Digga]

Whatever your views on Singers, there's got to be some kudos for using the thing as a daily driver.

Unless of course it belongs to some poor, unsuspecting bloke who's away on businesses and his wife has managed to put petrol into the diesel tank of her Range Rover.

As much as I have admired these for many years I do think this puts it into context. £500K for a reengineered 964 is a fair amount of cash. I recon I could commission something similar for circa £150k and still have enough change for GT3 and a Turbo s?

Minimum...you're about £50k under
