$4 million is absolutely insane for what is essentially a restomod. Don’t get me wrong they are phenomenal cars, I’ve been lucky enough to see one, but 4 million is a whole Bugatti lol.
Rob and his team are incredible… people who are fortunate enough to have one in their collection are so lucky But, $4 million..? That’s actually pretty insane
@@Shmee150 4.8 million USD/CAD/NZD/AUD like what are you saying? we all use USD as the world currency currently why not use that? and if you use that all the data and articles online say 2 million usd each so you're saying it sold for damn near 150% the asking price?
OMG Tim what a start to the year, today I vicariously lived my dream of driving a Singer Porsche thanks to you. Ive been lucky enough to drive a Porsche 911 sc coupe back in 1990, but this video today was something special. Thank you so much for sharing this. Your banter as you drive about how the car handled and felt made feel as though I was there myself. Again wow what a start to the year.😎
“Singer-ing in the rain...” In case anyone doubts it, I can personally vouch for the fact that this car is driven in all weathers. And no video can do justice to the sound made by this marvellous vehicle. Sorry we couldn’t offer you a sunny day, Tim, but hope you had a great time up here. Haste ye back!
What an amazing car. More so, the owner is a legend for allowing his $4M Singer to be wrung out on cold and wet roads. A credit to the owner, but also the driver!
Despite being a 2 man show this man somehow knows everyone who is anyone and finds everything about anything. What’s next? Baja and Dakar? Keep it up Tim
It’s obvious you enjoyed that drive Tim and as usual you covered all the bases when describing its details but for a minute there you just drove and that’s why these cars have been reproduced. Absolute perfection, no wonder the waitlist is what it is.
It’s been a great day just got back from having a full tour of the Ferrari museum and factory and then it’s time to enjoy Tim’s video about the singer dls
The color goes good with a overcast and a bit rainy countryside. At first I was planning on making a comment to change the color. But this works good. That motor, WOW!
If I could say such a thing, but I would be happy with a 'standard' Singer 911, like the one Chris Harris drove all those years ago. 4 million is a seriously large amount of cash.
That Porsche looks and sounds amazing. I don't know about 4 million dollar amazing but if I was made of money then of course. I really like how raw that car is. Thanks Tim for bringing me along for a ride.
Absolutely stunning. I just wouldn’t take it out in that weather, but I’m glad he did, glad it all ended well. Owner is a legend for letting him take it out in that 😅
Absolutely love Singer’s, if I could afford one I wouldn’t bother with any other car on the planet, other than a winter beater. Fantastic cars, ultra exclusive
@@AB-80-X I live in the Lake District and do no more than 3k miles a year, if I were to do 1k miles in the beater, I think I’d be alright doing a maximum of 2k in a Singer, if I could afford one, which I most definitely can’t 😭🤣
Fantastic opportunity for you to drive this car. Hopefully you get another chance in sunny weather. Awesome to see an owner taking out a car like this in that weather. Something I wouldn’t do with my own 911 which is a few million pounds less expensive!
Huge props to the owner for letting it drive in the winter in the wet, this is unbelievable! I think every car guy admires such a car. Singer just does it right with the proportions and details, like no other. Even when the DLS is not really pretty imo. Compared to their other models it looks fuzzy. But 4 mil is absurd. Even when you consider that the developement cost has to be devided on just a few cars. It is not a a car for driving anymore. Even with a lot of millions on the bank you are not going to enjoy driving it for what it is, I think. When compared to some prices paid for classic Ferraris on the other hand it is a steal. But those things are just investments like art now. And then again this is a new car. Anyhow, the market defines the value of a good. Must be this inflation going on ;) I remember the early Singer 4.0s were selling for 300k new, like a lot of likewise restomods still today.
WOW. What an amazing car. if I could build one this is what id do. working on my 88 foxbody lol, some day. great job Tim, you are the king of commentary. no one does it quite like you.
I saw this driving around Edinburgh quite a bit last summer, it was nice seeing it being used in all weathers. That road is the A70, Edinburgh to Lanark, great fun to drive when it’s dry.
This is easily one of my favorite cars you have fetured on this channel, if I had the choice between this and the zenvo, I would take this all day long! So subtle and classy and only those who know, know.
Shmee, there is a writing at the bottom of the rev counter on the bronze ring right at the edge of the dial. Have you noticed and read that? What does it say? I just wonder these kinds of little details.
To those complaining about the price, the word bespoke is all you need to focus on. Bespoke to me means one off perfection and from what I've seen this is it. That will ALWAYS pull a premium. Stay breezy Shmee!
I understand, but by the time a car costs 4 million a lot of money has gone to research and development and you are paying the best engineers in the world. If they selling only one in the world, I would try and accept that. But if they will make 10 or 15 in the world, that is 60 million pounds, for what!!!!!!?????? For a carbon fibre body, bespoke interior and Williams engine c'mon.
@@maverick9769 they actually made 75 and singer sold them for 1.75 million ;) also development cost for these is easily in the 8 figures just for the engine and then you dont have chassis and everything approved and road legal :)
@@HustlerTrickipedia What!!!???can you imagine how much it costs to develop the Cosworth V12 that revs to 12k rpm and holds the suspension of GMA t50. Or even converting the AMG project 1 engine from F1 for road use. I think the market is problem, there are just too many billionares who are willing pay stupid money for exclusivity.
These cars are among the best ever! You have to experience it to become a fan. It’s a bit like pagani where the quality outshines the amazing performance.
I used to like "base" Singers more than the DLS, but it's really grown on me, in all it's nuance. The Turbo Study is also cool. I'd probably pick a Singer Targa though.
I love the Singer DLS, it is one of my dream 911, I'd sell a kidney to be able to drive one, but GBP2.5million before customisations are bonkers. If I'm being honest car prices has gone bananas post-COVID, and some are just too hard to justify. But then again if I can get one I'd probably going to say yes, so what do I know anyway
Absolutely beautiful. Someone is so lucky to own this bad boy. Although I don't like the colour of the headlight rings even though it seems to suits the other trim😮
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's awesome that you got to Drive that Absolutely Gorgeous Singer DLS and I think it's sounds absolutely incredible
I love that whoever owns this is rich enough to have it but not also mind he's doing this in the rain! My anxiety flared up seeing the water dripping onto the engine and Schmees wet feet inside the footwell! lol

I thought he said two million
It would be 4 million in NZ tho
yeah hes waffling on that clickbait again its 2 million usd
I've seen $1.8 million for them, still insane, but not the $4 million listed on this vehicle.
No clickbait here; there's only one for sale right now and it's asking $4.8M, and cars have recently transacted at $4M. I don't set the prices!

Tell ya what, Tim. Sometimes, you just brighten my day. Even if it's dreary where you are, I really enjoy most of the car experiences that you put up.
I don’t know if the car or the scenery is prettier. What a stunning place Scotland is! And what a beautiful thing Singer has done.
We have some amazing roads here in Scotland. If you are a driver you would love our roads..except they can be rough

I was born early 80s and this is by far my favorite porsche. 964 was and still is amazing. Timeless
Would you pay 4m for this restomod ?
@@mba9565 no its out of my price range 😅
you know this was made by the 90s band Catherine Wheel
If you don’t tune it to built some weird restomod the 964 is beautiful and contemporary car.
@@ODGreenZa if you had the money. Would you pay 4m for this instead of Jesko, Chiron, P1, Laferrari, Pagani ?
What an amazing collection this is can’t wait to see more of his incredible collection
In 2018, I was at the Singer factory in L.A. and they told me about this project.
It turned out absolutely great. What a lovely machine!! 😍
It’s obvious you enjoyed that drive Tim and as usual you covered all the bases when describing its details but for a minute there you just drove and that’s why these cars have been reproduced. Absolute perfection, no wonder the waitlist is what it is.
This is nicest car which I ever seen, wide body on Porsche 964, decent styling and modern components inside - ideal combination.
It’s been a great day just got back from having a full tour of the Ferrari museum and factory and then it’s time to enjoy Tim’s video about the singer dls
Tim knows a lot of cool ppl who own cool things. This car is absolutely perfect.
It’s the colourway and details that make it so special
heading to the museum
The color goes good with a overcast and a bit rainy countryside. At first I was planning on making a comment to change the color. But this works good. That motor, WOW!
If I could say such a thing, but I would be happy with a 'standard' Singer 911, like the one Chris Harris drove all those years ago. 4 million is a seriously large amount of cash.
Very classy car. I'd swap most of the Shmee collection for this, or a couple of cars for a regular Singer.
That Porsche looks and sounds amazing. I don't know about 4 million dollar amazing but if I was made of money then of course. I really like how raw that car is. Thanks Tim for bringing me along for a ride.
Man, I’ve been wishing Tim starts getting into classics for so long 🥰
Baby steps with my Clio V6 (20yrs), 1M (13yrs) and V8VR (15yrs); I'm sure I'll get into proper classics at some point.
Would love to see something like a Ford Sierra Cosworth RS 500 or Escort Cosworth @Shmee150

Shmee on top form.
Great drive despite the weather.
Thank you 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Love the colour coordination from watch to car too - that mint colour watch is the perfect companion here…!!
Building a Singer should definitely be on your list of cars to acquire in the future Tim. Works of pure automotive art!
I can't believe you put your muddy shoes in that work of art! Philistine!
One of the best car collections, especially for me as a Porsche guy
This is easily one of my favorite cars you have fetured on this channel, if I had the choice between this and the zenvo, I would take this all day long! So subtle and classy and only those who know, know.
1 of the Most Incredible Cars Ever!!!
Reminds me of my old 964...in a HYPER edition...absolute LOVE it..that is driving!!
$4MM for a Singer now!!!! That’s one way to balance out demand and ‘right size’ the order book.
This collection is great. More interesting than the usual big 5 Ferrari or Porsche GT’s
Shmee, there is a writing at the bottom of the rev counter on the bronze ring right at the edge of the dial. Have you noticed and read that? What does it say? I just wonder these kinds of little details.
Bro!!! You're definitly doing big things with your car lifestyle, salute...

Supercool - I love my 964 to death and seeing your happy face tells me why 😊. Thanks for the great video!
The first time I saw the peppermint green was on the Turbo 3.6, on Top Gear I think
this is the Pagani of the porsche lovers, sutch a work of art. loved this video.
As beautiful and well made as this car is, for $4 million, I’d rather have in my garage two Carrera GTs or one Carrera GT and one 959.
Loving all this new Scottish content 👌
A Singer in the rain!
I like it
When I was little my dad had a Singer Gazelle. Slightly different, but we had great times in it.
You should hear my Citroen berlingo when it’s full of garden equipment,that’s a symphony of sound for you.
that interior is insane 🔥
Epic 1st drive of 2024!!!
Completely awesome
I was the 911th like. I pray one day i will own a 911. Thankyou for the wonderful video Shmee.
It’s funny that Tim was smiling through out the drive 😮💨🙌🏻
thanks for sharing and the efforts!
🎼The hills are alive..🎶...with the sound of muuuuu..sic🎵
Driving in the rain shows a car's true character. 😀👍
Bespoke brakes
Bespoke tires
Bespoke body
Bespoke interior
Made by commission only
Under a ton
Definitely worth it
I’ve just seen this car in person (by chance) wow what a car
Love that you left the door open in a $4m Singer while it was raining. Eek.
The interrior is looking so nice and clean 👌👌👌
I’ll take a 765LT, RUF SCR, F40, Purosangue and still have change for an amazing house.
