    Very nice spec. Gray exterior not too dark nor bright, offering good contrast against the wheels. Stripes are very subtle. Interior color and finish are perfect. I’m with you there that you don’t need the carbon body with the 700hp which drives up the price. Hope you and your family get to enjoy it for many years to come. Cheers from USA!

      Oh wow, I really look forward to that!
      I have a couple of 911’s, but these days I only have eyes for a Tuscan, preferably a mk1 with a Powers 4.5 straight 6 motor.

      @user-qn6yt3zx3w yeah mine is a Mk1 Tuscan S, which runs a 4.0 litre of course. New Engine, New paint and new Shocks and underside complete from Powers TVR. Cracking cars, proper. More feel than a GT3 in terms of feeling the road, but of course not as refined.

      @@autoaddict7481 interesting. I run a 4.5 Cerb along with a manual 991.2 GT3. They’re completely different in every way, but the Cerb is sometimes the more special feeling car. There are moments when the TVR feels almost as fast, but really there’s no comparison in time taken to get from A to B.

    Just make sure its exactly the car you want and plan to keep. Other than Singer's which might appreciate, the majority of restomoded cars typically take a significant hit as it's no longer factory original, unauthorised/untested mechanical changes with unproven long-term reliability. Requires support from a specialist (Porsche main dealers won't touch it), who in turn understand the mods and parts fitted and how to fix them when they break. Bespoke appearance can divide opinion so reducing your total available market when it comes time to sell. If you can live the risks it's a lovely thing to own and this one is certainly a head turner.

    • @autoaddict7481
      @autoaddict7481  11 місяців тому +4

      Completely agree. But as always , as and when the time comes to sell you only need one buyer. But yes, you do need specialists...which most use on older cars anyway. I think going for a spec which has a wider appeal is always a good way to go, for example, I wouldn't spec viper green personally, a wider appeal colour with comfort interior is I think more appealing to the masses than a stripped out funky colour. However I do think there is a much larger market for 2nd tier providers than the one for singers, especially as these cars get longer in the tooth ans need work. Bespoke cars of all types are certainly on the rise and porche fill a massive percentage as enthusiasts and people who know sod all about cars go for porsche. LOL

    Most guys would be far more likely to drive these as intended - as opposed to the way that most owners turn their Singers into garage statues. Great balance between enhancement, practicality, and cost.

    Beautiful car and spec! Thanks for sharing. Love the idea of a 993 based restomod. This one seems like a great build and finish - I'm also quite OCD but like the right balance of quality, fine detail and value for money. I'd be interested to know your thoughts, in comparison to similar 993 based models, such as the Kaege Retro, Tuthill SCRS, or Rennsport.

    Retroworks did my 964 targa conversion. Excellent vakue for money. I bought the original car for £34k in 2020 just before prices went stupid and spent a further £51k on the conversion. So £85k on the road. Its only gone up in value since then.

    Gorgeous build! One question though. was it necessary to have the fuel cap at the same location that Singer puts theirs? It's my least favorite feature of the Singer because it's very impractical when it comes to filling up the car. I mean it looks cool and intriguing but still very impractical.

      @@PaediatricDentistry Depending on the spec of you car and knowing the values here in Oz of 993's it could be a good move to sell yours for a pretty penny, especially if its Oz delivered which buyers just go mental here for. And then use the money to buy a half decent 993 in the UK (Which tends to be cheaper than Oz). Then you will have some money in your back pocket to help cover the build...and you would also save on shipping back and forth. (Which could take 2-3 months. Just a thought I had post your comment.
