  • Overhyped? Singer Vehicle design seems to be universally praised for its restored 911s. Henry Catchpole investigates whether that praise is earned. There's no better place to find out than in Singer's home turf: The Golden State
    Singer Vehicle Design are a bespoke Porsche restoration company who follow this simple mantra: "Everything is important". This is their approach to every part of the restoration process. This has lead to their cars becoming moving works of art and revered by many as one of the best restomod companies.

    At the end when he talks about picking just one car I felt that. A Singer 911 would definitely be that one car for me. You could drive one everyday to work and it wouldn't feel out of place. You could take it to the track and it wouldn't feel out of place. You could pick up a date in it and it wouldn't feel out of place. You could take it on a road trip and it wouldn't feel out of place. You could teach your kids to drive in it and it wouldn't feel out of place. And beyond that, not only would it never feel out of place it would feel like absolutely the perfect car for each of those jobs. It would feel like any other car would be a downgrade.
    I've been trying to find the right few words to sum all that and I think I recently found them. It's the main characters car.
    By that I mean, if you want to write a story about a magical person. The kind of person we all desire being; smart, classy, romantic, charming, mysterious, a touch dangerous etc... All those perfect idealized qualities that only really exist in romance novels and spy thrillers and fairytales and you want to choose a car for a story like that. Something that makes the character more interesting just by virtue of their choice in car. That doesn't overpower the character but enhances them instead. Something that isn't vulgar but instead indicates exquisite taste. Something unusual and exciting but familiar and comforting. The only reasonable choice is a Singer 911. The Singer 911 should't exist in the real world, it couldn't. It's a fairytale. Except its real.

This is the best review that Carfection has done so far. Would it be asking to much to edit another video of just the driving?
