11:10 Summary
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!
Lovely. Very lovely piece of art!
That orange Tuscan in the background looked amazing!
Yeah man, will do a review on that in the coming weeks.
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.
I’ve subscribed so I don’t miss the future video!
@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.
Nice Review, love the interior, didn't realise it was AWD
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.
Great spec and honestly a very reasonable price. Enjoy 🎉
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.
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
I’m from the uk 🇬🇧
This is bloody beautiful I love it ❤👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great use of the 993!
lovely car! thanks for sharing
Great work
Cool car for a nice cool guy.. Thank's for a really nice view and also your humbleness broo.. Ton'z of respec..sallute...
Beautiful and very classy motor inside and out wheels aside. They look odd to me
Great choice of cars I’d love a Tuscan
Beautiful
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.
Great vid, bad AM type audio. Gorgeous car. Congrats.
Yeah sorry, not sure what happened , that is the mic the firm recommended. First video, so others will sort . More to come...Next up Audi Quattro, then 550 Maranello then TVR Tuscan and BMW E9 CSL
Masterpiece
Very nicely done. It's worth every penny compared to Singer and Gunther work Porsche.
Great car, im in talks with Sportec in Switzerland but need to find the vehicle
Cool car
The Carbon fibre 11,000PRM Tulhill 911 takes some beating 🙂
Yes indeed, they are quality builds.
Beautiful csr😊
Thanks a lot 😊
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.
Looks stunning. I was wondering how much these go for? Is that a TVR in your garage? It seems like you have also a nice Ferrari.
I mention that Matthew end of the video, 165 to 185k GBP now, more or less, that's if you want them to source the donor car for you. Yeah TVR Tuscan S Mk1 and a 550 Maranello. Love em.will do reviews on them shortly and Audi Quattro UR
❤ the car. What about exporting an Australian delivered 993 to be modified by Retroworks in UK? That way there may be less expense on import duties??
Bettwe off just buying one in the UK, but yes, you could export ans then have the work done if you already have the car. Way cheaper than doing it in Australia for sure.
@@autoaddict7481 Thanks for the advice.😀
@@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.
Any issue with DVLA or the police having a 1996 car on black & silver plates historical plate? I got my private plate taken of me for displaying black & silver plate on my 997s.
The car was in the UK before ans wasn't on then for long, then bought to Oz.
dare I ask what this cost in total?
In the summary at the end of the vid
Is it RHD or LHD?
Right.
Pretty good video, but the microphone quality is terrible, couldn't listen to this with headphones on for longer than two minutes
Yeah sorry about that. My very first video , will sort for future ones. Not sure why it happened, was the mic the firm recommended .
Wondreful car - am i the only one that finds all this burbling and cracking and farting to be super annoying, in todays exhaust dessign? sounds broken to me. Aside from that its nearly perfect. Well done.
Always sound better in real life man. More the speakers that are pony .
Hey I wouldnt turn it down, haha.. beautiful and impressive car.. For me though, flat 6 noises should be smooth and slick, leave the farting and burbling for firebreathing big V8 muscle, to my ears. Different umbrellas for different fellas thoguh ;)@@autoaddict7481
I love Porsche but no car on the planet is worth anywhere near that much money as to singer.
Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay, this chap had a 4.5 year waitlist, which speaks volumes.
@@autoaddict7481 I’ve heard that all my life. I’ve also heard a fool and his money are soon parted. Does that make him a fool? NO. But you can get an awesome Porsche for a whole lot less, and most of the good one are in the six figure range.
Great car and nice review. Would only be improved by properly pronouncing Porsche and Fuchs. Would add credibility IMO.
