Engine cover vents are redolent of the thinking behind the 993 2S items :

It's the speaker grille type cover that I don't like.

They're redolent of the item used on the 1968 911 R ...







Not condoning them btw , just giving a clue as to what may have inspired their use

Seems Tuthill are building a series of 3.0 SCRS, but of a strange one to me being the SCRS is most famous for being a rally car and this is a 993 back date slathered with leather and coco weave?

Indeed, I've done a couple of tours of Tuthills over the past two years and seen them being built.
And very luuurvely they are too :

Singer Turbo Study up for auction
No doubt silly money but great to see the pics of the detail gone into it.

On the flip side that Rindt is still hanging around, now up for auction

I might be wrong but I feel like Rindt is the odd one out in that list: In parallel with bespoke offerings from the factory there have been notable contributions to the expanding ‘restomod’ (restored/modified) scene from independent specialists such as Ruf Automobile, Singer Vehicle Design, Tuthill Porsche, Lanzante, and Rindt Vehicle Design.

I think it does not look bad, but I suspect with an automatic it will be a very tough sell.

You’re not wrong….laughable putting Rindt on that list

Quite a few corners cut there to save cost. I wont point it out as its not fair. Having built one, I can see where they've been a little tight.

This is lovely, that interior is relatively unique:

£250K

Unique interior it may be, but that material looks cheap and nasty, and I've no doubt it hides a multitude of sins when it comes to trimming stuff, especially when compared to leather or Alcantara.

Save £60K and buy this :

Or just spend £250k on an original, unmodified 964 RS.

I didn't say it was a bargain. That's a huge wedge.

Disagree with this and I actually think Rindt are misunderstood in terms of what they do. Their "Restomods" are much closer to the original Porsche cars than any of the other Restomodders mentioned. Singer may "look" like a Porsche on the outside but it's not remotely a Porsche anywhere else. Rindt also do virtually everything in house, nothing is outsourced or ordered in and they tend to fabricate or build all parts bespoke on each build, nothing mass produced or that you can just order off the internet. As a result, their cars are much more authentic and closer to the original than many others out there.

Having been down to see them in the flesh it's a pretty awesome set up and some amazing stuff going on there, most of which never gets seen and is not plastered all over social media / internet etc and goes under the radar.

Also, this particular Porsche was a bespoke build for the client who wanted that interior, those seats and an automatic - it's not that this Porsche was produced by them to then put up for sale.

All these are restomods yes, but the way they go about their stuff and what they are trying to achieve is very different and can argue that Rindt is a lot closer to the original than anything else out there and at a much more realistic price point.

I did not mean that their stuff is "crap", but the other names mentioned are arguably seen as the gold standard in their respective fields (be that restomods, fast Porsches, rallying/racing). I think the gold standard for originality/better than it left the factory is probably Porsche Classic or whatever they are called.

Yeah, fair enough, but I guess that then does come at a price point too and should be if you're spending over £1m on a Singer! But I get what you're saying in that regard
