Yeah, it's an oddity to me as it's not one of the 'greats' e.g. a 288 GTO, F1 etc. kind of car.
I like 'reimagined' 911s but not at £3.6m whether I had the money in the bank or not. However, that is just my opinion and plenty of others differ .
Singers are incredibly beautiful and one of my all time favourite cars, but £3.6m is absolutely wild, especially in somebody else's spec. There is a beautiful green DLS with brown interior for sale at DK that is probably my ideal spec, but think of all the other cars you could have for that kind of money.

Tax free!
That's why there is a high end art industry if they started taxing the gains it would disappear in its current state, much of it held in bonded warehouses and traded from there never really seeing the light of day. Philvrs said:

Unrelated but car related, i believe thats why you sometimes see a cheap car with a number plate worth multiple times the cars value-IHT-they only value the car when calculating the estate. Could be bks of course!
Hey everyone
Long time no talk, yes my IG has gone. Just too busy with work and trying this ‘no social media’ thing.
It’s going well, I’ve spent more time on myself and my family and business. Lost 2 stone, got myself settled in the Middle East (still here for a while though), opened a new office in South Africa, opening one in Ethiopia and possibly Bali too. Spending a lot of time on the race track instead of the road.
So to stop any rumours about the DLS, me and Beardy filmed my collection of the DLS last year but it didn’t go too well. He posted it ages ago and I asked him to take it down as it painted singer in a bad light. As someone mentioned before, if is a ‘prototype’ style car so what did I expect!
I had a fair few problems with the car to start with but Singer sorted it all out and delivered me a great car. I decided to sell the car as I was moving to the UAE and rhd cars over there don’t really work out that well. I asked them to convert it for me but that was a no go. Anyways I sold it and yes I made a fair bit of money on the overs.
So it was all good and quiet and then SHMEE dropped that recent video, next thing I know I had a message from Singer asking me to take it down. I didn’t realise it was up and then I spoke to Beardy to take it down. He didn’t understand why Singer would get so pissy, as they have to take the rough with the smooth. To be fair I agree with that, it can’t all be one sided.
Anywayssssssss, he took it down, Singer thanked me, we got talking and next thing you know I have a DLS Turbo on order as of yesterday haha. This time it’ll be lhd and will come with me to Dubai and Oman.
I’m here for any questions if you’d like to know more about the DLS or what my plans are with my cars.
Cheers
Pete

You sound a lot happier Pete and that's a good thing. Here's hoping everything goes well for you in the future.
Thanks RATATTAK, I am happier. It’s nice to be in the sun. I’m never stressed anymore and I find solace in the littlest things. I do still have my 695 Biposto, which I’m sure you’ll be glad to know. Can’t part with that at all. That’s going in my bedroom of my new house as an art piece. Hope you’re well too buddy. 2manycars - 6th July 2023 said:
What was it like? Ermmmmmm, well let’s say that just because you can buy the best ingredients and throw them in a pan, doesn’t make you the worlds best dish.
Would I ever buy another Singer? Absolutely not...
Glad to see you lasted at least 6 months Pete Would I ever buy another Singer? Absolutely not...

What's the plans out there?
Thanks Cupid, yeah I definitely am. My idea is just to race more in the Middle East challenge series and maybe some of the Asia series. Still doing the U.K. challenge series but because I’ll only be allowed back in the U.K. for 16 working days in my first year I’ll have to watch how many races I’m going to do (can’t be arsed with battling with HMRC). What's the plans out there?
And yeah, just live out the rest of my days relaxing, working, racing and travelling.
I won’t have a base over here after September this year, can’t really be in Dubai from June to End of August as it’s just too hot. However after that I’ll be gone for good and then I’ll just spend the Dubai summers in Bali or South Africa with the odd trip back to the U.K. for my races.
Here’s the last race I did at Spa with me looking like a gay power ranger in all my get up.

Hope all goes well with hte internaitonal life and race series.
Assume the business in UK is being well looked after?
If you don't have a perm base, I take it you are not amassing a collection of cars? Dubai has some serious metal so there would be much temptation after pocketing the proceeds from the Singer .....
