Very nice 964 for auction, as previewed by Chris Harris in the video above.
Looks great with square wing mirrors and D90 wheels.
Only shame is it’s a C4 and not a C2, and Grand Prix white with black interior would be
ideal spec imho…..but still, this looks good and has King Hussain of Jordan provenance.

No sale?Owner must have some bonkers expectations then, just as a car it’s not worth half of that
It reminds me of the 'representative' of the Sultan of Brunei seeing Rodney Trotter's advert in the Peckham Echo and reaching out to him on how to start a three-wheel van.

I agree, plain greedy. He'd have better luck contacting King Hussein and asking him if he wants to buy it.

Lots of chat of Shill bidding on another channel & I can see why. It reminds me of the 'representative' of the Sultan of Brunei seeing Rodney Trotter's advert in the Peckham Echo and reaching out to him on how to start a three-wheel van.
Id doesn't even look particularly nice

Agreed, and I get that the older the cars and rarer, the more irrational the process becomes, but this? What would you do with it after you paid £120k and it's not that nice to drive, too new, not that great to look at, a 4 ( so not the purest)?

Weird.

Send it to Singer ...Weird.
I've never got the "originally owned by this King or that Prince.." label and how its supposed to somehow raise the value of a car.
And this one was "originally" owned by the king, its since had 6 other sweaty arses in the driver seat so no matter how big a fan of the King of Jordan you are you're not going to find any trace of him in the car or on the V5. I bet if you asked him you'd discover that he never drove it and prob doesn't even remember having it.
So it's nothing more than the wrong version 964 with the wrong wheels in the wrong colour combo.

Too expensive. They buy knackered ones given the amount of work involved.
They've all gone, now they're into the next level stuff, and let's face it, for someone the cachet of having a Singer that was based on a car formerly owned by King Hussain of Jordan, will be just too tempting.Think of the added bragging rights at Cars 'n Coffee events !!

Rob Dickinson said early on that he wouldn’t convert any 964’s that had historical significance, which I took to mean RS, 3.6 Turbos etc.
Whether that’s still the case is different matter altogether …
Interesting, I imagined the Turbo Singer abomination thing would be based on a Turbo but I guess why would you?Whether that’s still the case is different matter altogether …
