RE: Chris Harris video: the Singer 911

Cool video, makes we want a Singer ever more. Cool place to work.

I think that Maz guy is also on youtube in a video with his kid:

Maybe Chris or someone could confirm.

Wonderful car. One in Slate Grey - which is what the car in the workshop appears to be - would be my choice.

Great video Chris, thanks.

^^Funny, that's exactly the video I was thinking about when he appeared. Definitely the same bloke.

Nice start to the year . Great car and a great bunch of people behind it. I don't really like the newer shape 911s from the 90s onwards, that 964 shape IS a 911 to me. The Singer is the ideal mix of the proper looks with updated oily bits. Lottery win garage.

Pure automotive perfection!

Awesome video Chris, and seriously want a Singer now (actually I did before but now even more so). One question the car you looked over in build was RHD, is it destined for the UK?

[Tankslider]

Chris, that was great. Cheers for having the confidence to just step back and let the guy talk.

[Blair66]

Cheers Mr H, Brilliant.... Whats not to love about the Singer

P.S. Fancy a job swap? You fly the Virgin Hosties around the world and I'll drive the cars?

[UltimaCH]

Fantastic video and engineering excellence is never cheap...

[scottishlion]

^ I was going to post that video too! Definitely the same guy. I can't tell you how much I love that video - that boy will be a car enthusiast for life.

Love the Singer 911, anything with that level of attention-to-detail is welcome in this world as far as I'm concerned.

[BBS-LM]

DAM!, what an amazing car, I always wondered why a Singer 911 cost so mush $$$, now I know, amazing attention to detail, just love it. Want.

[NGK210]

Excellent. Thank you for a great vid about my dream car.

Oh, and just one wee question: Why's the company called Singer?

I loved it when I looked at it - now I've seen what goes into it, I'm almost speechless...

If I had kids I'd sell them to human traffickers if it would get me one of those - staggering...

There's no doubting the quality, but I can't help but think owning an original 60's SWB and a modern GT3 RS would be better for less money.

You can't drive them both at once - you'd spend your whole life wanting bits of one in the other etc.

That's what this thing is - it's taking the whole pantheon of air-cooled 911s and making ONE car which does everything.

You could, obviously, do it for a lot less money - you don't need a padded/stitched engine liner and custom loom ($30K!!!!)

This covers it, really...

I know what you mean but I like cars to have different traits. For example: I have lots of songs that I like, but I wouldn't want to mix them together to make an ultimate song with all my favourite bits.

[RemyMartin]

I do believe I saw a Mad Max interceptor replica in that workshop!

This is infinitely more exciting than the Porsche, in my eyes.

Although I do love the passion behind the concept.

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

Green.

[Cyrus1971]

Excellent video, interesting car and nice to see that there are people out there willing to make the business choices to make these kind of cars.

Sadly not for me until I win the lottery or a MD of a major company says - Cyrus, here have a million £ pay rise...

Good video with exactly the kind of detail and coverage I like to see. Good work Mr H.

would dearly love one in my ownership

Analog Retro Perfection.... rather like the E Type Speedster.
