That and has Singer built any other models other than the 911 for the world to see? I'd be skeptical about giving them a car other than a 911 for them to "experiment" on.

Regardless of whether these cars are overpriced or not, if I had the means, I'd buy a Singer over the McLaren or a 458. It's a much more appealing car to me.

^ I would go so far as to say I would take a Singer 911 over any car that can be had for $350k or less (I say that to keep the CGT out of the equation). Not everyone will agree, but I think the Singer is the ultimate expression of the most iconic and significant sports car in automotive history. It is beautifully engineered and perfect down to the last detail. Stunning piece of automotive art that I'm sure is a blast to drive....do....want....very....bad.....

Ced - You know the RS America is a 911 right?

I meant the Original 911 ^^

Anyways, looks like they need investors in order to expand due to all the buzz they've created.

I wouldn't offer an original 911 either (meaning pre SC)... I'd much rather hand them a semi-beat 1992 or 93 C2 and let them start over. The RS is too rare.

I'm pretty sure at least one of the Singers besides the first one (which started life as a gray 3.2 Carrera) is 964-based.
