Resale value doesn’t seem to be an issue for Singer. Unbelievable demand for their work.

look at the (in picture ) left blinker-thing its not as the right side (picture right) straight.



same on the rear, look at the left part (in picture) of the bumper/light compared to the other side, its not straight.

I noticed this too. I'm surprised Hairpin Co took this SC on. I'd rather have an SC and the power claims are shall we say very optimistic. The asking price will no doubt be as optimistic as the power claims.

Looks fantastic Mintbird. If ever in the UK I'd love to see this. I am in Norway from time to time too. Those smooth roads through the Fjords are some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen on plant earth during Norwegian Summers. Been up there during winters staying at a mates log cabin too. Like an opening James Bond movie ski scene. Fabulous smile

From the sublime to the ridiculous. This is up for quite a bit more than what a good 993 C2 cab would cost.

It's a really wky wordy OTT description too, that then fails to state a price.

Hairpin Co do this on many of their cars. I know Neil who runs it and like him very much you need to get to know him but his selling strategy has always struck me as somewhat eccentric and puzzling. He does seem to shift the cars though!

This car is sold now too. Still no idea how much it was. The chap who bought it used to have a 964 RS Clubsport and has a nice collection of mainly classics from various marques.

ok, its a EV Porsche 911, but still uses a manual (more like switch? without clutch?)and looks like a 'reasonable' build, 320hp converted it says, and 3.8 sec to 60mph not bad.









wonder what it weighs with the front and rear packed, also how it drives :-)
I was once in such early Lotus Elise EV built with manual, was a lovely experience, I was the passenger, but it felt good and fast and ow, we could give it full beans and people did not really react as they normally do with louder cars going at such speed lol, that was funny difference there on those roads.

anyways, more pictures here, yes some things could be a bit better hide, but small things you can do yourself, I think, not bad if you look for something like that.

Looks lovely, but why would you go electric? If you want electric there are plenty of well proven cars to chose from.

That headrest though…

Why do people put such oversized wheels on these things? At least it has good ground clearance as a result...

Also, where is the CoG with those big batteries positioned there?

The headrest, they better had put it in its lowest position, then its way harder to spot.

but yes, shame, most stitching looks good, love the green, but then they did not give it the finishing touch sadly.

I really dont understand them and why on earth anyone would pay £160k for one !!

I have a Taycan turbo and until recently had a restomod (petrol) both have their places in my view as opposed to one very comprimised one.

The main gripe I have with most restomods is people spend a fortune on the outside and the interiors are always very very cheaply.
