Goodwood Singer DLS
Discussion
I’ve recently just ordered a Singer Porsche, most importantly a DLS, after seeing it at Goodwood (thanks Matt & Rob).
The first part of the order process, after paying that is, is to pick your special order vehicle number. As they’re only making 75 of these there’s not much choice. This got me to thinking, is the number choice that important and does it affect the resale cost (if I ever sold it). I didn’t really think it would be a big deal but it has turned into exactly that. I picked my number (70) and thought nothing of it, now I’m thinking maybe it is a big deal.
I obviously didn’t pick numbers 1,2,3, 69 or 75 as they’ve already gone. So I went for the last one closest to 75.
Anyone had to pick a number or name for their car, and if so, how did you come to your decision?
Cheers

Congratulations on choosing such an exciting car. I think we would all like to hear about your driving experiences when you eventually take delivery. I spent ages drooling over the DLS at Goodwood. Be nice to hear about your spec too when you decide.The first part of the order process, after paying that is, is to pick your special order vehicle number.

Wrt choice of number I think 70 is the perfect choice actually - being Porsches 70th.
I kept my allocated number plate of 67 on my new GT3 as it was my birth year so yes it is important

Nice choice of car there buddy. Yeah it starts it’s build in July 2019 and should take approximately 2 & 1/2 years to make. So I’ll hopefully get it before 2022, then it’ll be my daily driver. Looking forward to it now so much that the wait is going to kill me. Wrt choice of number I think 70 is the perfect choice actually - being Porsches 70th.

Normal form on PH is to say "Worst ever, I've got too much money to spend thread ever". The first part of the order process, after paying that is, is to pick your special order vehicle number.

However those that have read your other thread will know you're a thoroughly decent bloke who does amazing things with his cars (for charity) and that you've been through the mill somewhat on the health front (I say that in your typically understated manner).
I hope the Singer is everything you wish it will be, and you have years of enjoyment both behind the wheel and indulging those less fortunate. You sir are thoroughly decent human being, and I salute you
P.S The number 70 will do just fine
I’m a Hamilton fan so 44 could be a bit of fun, especially if the colour scheme was a nod to his colours (candy-Apple red for instance, or the white, yellow, green and red of his crash hat livery).
I guess something as crazy as a Singer should be a bit of fun really.
However, if it was me being the lucky one, I’d ask very, very nicely if it were possible to retire a number and get number 76 as it means something to me. Might take a bit of persuasion!
