That's a Singer Porsche, they are mental money.

If I won the lottery, I would have one in my garage for sure. They are incredible. My friend works for Tuthill Porsche who helped build the Singer Porsche that got car of the show at Goodwood festival of speed this year. It was a truly amazing creation.

It's a great spot. They are incredibly rare.

The best Porsche that Porsche never made :thumb: Usually the Singers are contemporary 1970’s RS replicas based on a 993 shell and running gear and bespoke mods. Never seen one in the flesh. Will own one if I win the lottery :) |
There's going to be a queue of us outside the Singer garage after we all win the lottery:D

A friend had a red one of these years ago and he said if a car was going to put you in a ditch it would be this car. They were normal money when he sold it :) |
I stand corrected, 964. I’ve driven a fair few aircooled Porsches, and the only ones that felt like they were ditch finders needed new suspension or were running antique/nasty tyres. You do have to push them hard for them to bite, although in the wet you’d need to be a bit more cautious. I remember driving a 1986 Supersports (pre G50= heavy on/off clutch and gears that needed rev-matching) that had Dunlop D40s (aincient)that were swapped for SP9000s (more contemporary for the time). It went from a car that would fight you with the steering by tramlining every rut and jerk the wheel on every bump and pothole and scared the crap out of you if you tried to drive it fast to pure silk that begged you to drive it faster afterwards. It really was like night and day. Have to admit though most I’ve driven are worn out dogs, but the suspension is that simple it doesn’t take much work to sort them (albeit at a cost), the sensitivity to tyres and geometry is something often overlooked. Having said that, if you drive one today, it feels like a tractor compared to something current...non assisted steering, minimal servo assistance on the brakes, heavy clutch, baulky/notchy gears, long throw gear lever, offset pedals. But pure unassisted analogue...love it. Only thing close or comparable is a 1960’s Lotus Elan. . |
It's funny , when I bought my classic mini (long gone now) I flipping loved no PAS. Was great
|
Rest of the car was a dog though.lol
