Re: I Hate Singer
No doubt awesome cars although a little too fat for my taste and think the interiors look like they've been done for someone who normally drives a Bentley GT......
.......maybe that's their market!
I like the old maxim 'less is more'......I'd rather have Dan's new Hot Rod!

Re: I Hate Singer
Singers come across as tribute/replica longhoods. With a sprinkle of new Mini vs the original Mini. Ie. wrong sized modernized chunky.

Me too. I'm sure they drive well and quality looks superb, but visually they're overdone to my eyeDarren65 wrote:No doubt awesome cars although a little too fat for my taste and think the interiors look like they've been done for someone who normally drives a Bentley GT......

Re: I Hate Singer
At the end of the day they are a a relativley modern day porsche back dated to a 60's /70's style and then hot rodded, and
in my opinion done very well indeed.
I still love my original 72 but if my numbers came up a trip to Singer would be top of my list.

me too - I like how they name the cars in line with their destinations.
I'd insist mine was called "Naarfulk"

Now that is a green I could actually get on with.... (ducks for cover while the Olive Green brigade regroup)
Re: I Hate Singer
very quick hijack... I read that the lip on the '73 cars was to reduce lift and improve handling at pace. I like and want to keep my original style bumper on my '69 so just wondering if anyone makes a similar lip spoiler for the early cars like on the Singer which I can leave dark to not change the lines?

The simple things you see are all complicated

funnily enough only yday I sent paul green at tuthills an email asking if they can do that side decal exactly like Singer in grey and red. On the back I am just using the standard Porsche metal lettering
keep pestering them for more photos.. none forthcoming yet...like getting blood from a stone...

Re: I Hate Singer
Hey I know picture has been buggered about with but that looks fantastic.
Trying to see the reflection in the car door of the camera man or similar but cant realy make it out unless the picture is a complet fabrication.
Still love it though
