I’ve just been sent these through, so happy! It will be getting period corrects carpet and door cards fitted in the next couple of weeks.

Lovely. Where did you buy it from ?

came across this one , just a few changes and I think it looks very cool, although I love wide body turbo look cars, this one looks good as well and not crazy money, I bet it would be at least double that what it would go for on bring a trailer auctions.

Lovely car although LHD wouldn’t work for me unfortunately in the UK. I had one and just found it a pain .

What’s the price point of this car ?

GTRene said:

'just' 69k euro, so I guess it can go fast if they spotted it.

Good value I’d say

[GT3Manthey]

Looks lovely but at £120k I’m thinking it’s a lot of cash although I don’t doubt the build costs were big

This could be one of the nicest yet. I love the front valance - seems right and purposeful but not too incongruous

Yup very nice .

Pricey no doubt

I quite like the colour - each to their own I guess!

I don’t mind it either thou I’d probably have gone for a more 70’s period colour

I like the overall look of this one, and it has some nice details, but not sure about all the 'Paul Stephens' references all over it. Even Singer aren't that narcissistic, although I've read that Porsche may have had a quiet word with them about their branding.

It’ll be interesting to see what that sells for given the original price I’m sure was circa £225k

I can't see it going for over 2 but seen stranger things happen.

For 200k I buy a 997.2 RS instead but I guess that’s not really what it’s about

No

I agree .

At £225/240 new it’s a car you need to keep forever and write off its value if you can afford to .

It’s possible the car will sell for 100k less than it’s original purchase price which probably tells you the mark up from new in these builds

Couldn’t see a price ?

I think it looks nice but price vs build quality is sometimes there these cars get let down.

I’m guessing it’ll be circa £225k?

Lot of dosh for what essentially is a Bitza

would it have been this one?

Back dated cars I like but there comes a price point ( for a non singer car) where i can’t see it works anymore.

With respect to some of these UK backdate companies asking £250k for these cars is madness.

Singer cars sell for more than original purchase price but as seen , one PS one went through collecting cars at around half.

£125 grand....

"Recently independent valuation for insurance purposes at £110,000, which given that Singers are now £750,000+ makes a lot of sense"

If the car market crashes ( programme on last night mentioned it) these have to be the worst that get hit

Catchpole's take on the Paul Stephens 993 mod

Bit £400k really ?

Not a patch on a singer and you’ve halved your cash overnight i you pay that .

One of the his went through CC’s a few months back . Didn’t get anywhere close to the original purchase price

I think that is the nicest 993 i have ever seen!

Yup .

Why spend £400k when you can get this better car for £100!

Looks lovely but I shudder to think of the cost

Randomly found this pic and adore the colour together with the subtle Porsche side decals . Little impact bumper car looks well taken care of.
