Cor mister, that's fab. Why LHD, or is that the only way they can render it?
Pretty sure that’s the render. The donor 964 was RHD.

My hair was that colour this summer.

Engine is a bit more bespoke than that as it's still air-cooled and the whole thing weighs in at around 990kg

That is trying too hard, too many cues from a variety of 60's Ferrari's

The Lusso they have for sale makes the Squalo look quite sad https://www.gtoengineering.com/sales

The tyres are too low profile, just doesn't suit the car.

Pete - have your eyes on this impending “Leonard Collection” coming to collecting cars?

Anyone know the backstory and reason for selling up? (Peak car prices? Boredom? After buying every single good car it turns out the owner doesn’t actually like cars?)

Some collectors like to build a collection and they then (for want of a better word), get bored and go on to the next collection.

Maybe here? Maybe death or divorce? My bigger question - would dropping them all at the same time artificially devalue them as there are a lot of rare cars, but enough of them that everyone who wants one, can get one.

Pete car looks amazing and even the Mrs commented on it which is rare indeed. I went to an engineering company in Stourbridge the other week which was making parts for Singer. Your new baby will forever have a bit of the Black Country in there somewhere.
