Jay's passion for cars and making this show is just amazing. He could just retire and play golf, and do nothing, but he puts a lot of passion into these shows, and it's just great. You learn so much about cars.
Look it's his way of 'Playing Golf' He enjoys doing it.
He has mentioned it more than once… Jay does NOT play golf.
He is much better as a car reviewer than a late night talk show imo
@@kato2395 he doesn't really "review" cars. But he's great at showcasing them.
The sound of those doors shutting is worth the price of admission alone.
One of the best door closes ever
I had a ride a few weeks ago in a friend's '67 VW Beetle. Same vault sound when closing the doors. Amazing ! Even in such a lightweight car. How do the Germans do it ?
I know right.
Such a soothing sound. U can hear the quality.
Get the same sound on my G- Class Mercedes. That sound will never get old
The Singers are just gorgeous, not overdone, pure class and automotive love right there..
And I love how Tim gets all chuffed when certain features come into the conversation, you can tell he`s excited about the car and the job they did, and considering the somewhat inauspicious beginnings they had, all the initial work they did with shaping and the wheels and everything, he and the team absolutely should be proud of what they accomplished, great work!
I really love my kids, but I think I have one of them who I miiiight just trade for this car.
I completely understand
Probably gonna take a few.🤣👍
@Endoe ONE hahahahaha!
The first born son is what singer demands
@@foxygrandpa1899 lmfao I heard that in a demons voice haha
That is one _beautiful_ Porsche. Singer is one genius company.
Genius? They just use other people's stuff and outsource all of it .
thomascampr Just because they use other people’s parts doesn’t mean they are doing it wrong. Why do so many car companies go to brembo for brakes and recaro for seats? Because those companies do a good job. Singer can’t do everything so of course they have to outsource. They still craft a fine automobile.
@@AfterDark33 Singer is not a driver's car . Obviously the people that own it hardly drive them . Out of 100 cars the most milage is 8500. Its a garbage queen.
@@thomascampr I challenge you to find a professional review of a Singer that isn't anything but glowing and superlative.
Don't all manufacturers "use other people's stuff"? It's choosing the right components and developing a unique design that works in harmony that sets the Singer apart. Many parts bin cars aren't the sum of their components.
thomascampr Go watch the top gear review of the singer.
My lottery jackpot car. Porsche perfection.
What about the 996 Carrera Convertible?
Lies we all know what trump really want ride is russian's 🍄
@@gtx-808 Cringe
Mine too.
+OMGWTFLOL
You could also buy a 996 or 997 and start a project from there. The Sky is the limit.
Centuries and ages from today an advanced civilization will stumble across Singers work and frame him w the admiration we bestow upon Picasso, VanGogh and other influential artists of their time. Truly exceptional work.
Love when a guest knows their stuff and is passionate about their cars.... add in Jay's seemingly limitless knowledge and the time just glides by. I could listen to these two for hours.
That is a beautiful paint colour, love that liquid metal look
Maybe the color name is : Lunar grey
MILKY NICKEL
I think it's based on "Lach Silber" by BMW, beautiful colour
Color named after a stripper!
I love different shades of marroon on most sportscars but gun metal grey and various iterations of metallic grey make any car suspected of going fast look even faster.
This interior is something else, just gorgeous, well done Singer!
The pinnacle of restomod. Congratulations, Singer!
Jay always asks the correct questions..
I met the singer guys at goodwood this year and they where great and so nice to chat with.. I’ve sent my letter to Santa and I’m waiting with crossed fingers!
Mr Gregorio really knows the product inside out and front to back...Fab show
Jay is the kind of automobile enthusiast who asks detailed questions about wipers. Great car, thanks for showing it to us.
Jay actually grows to like this guy he grills him quite good and he holds up and impresses
i noticed that too! but the dude handled himself well...
I can not get enough of these videos. I have learned so much and have a new appreciation of these older cars. Thanks for showing me the way, Jay.
The level of detail is truly amazing. I would love to own this.
Of all the amazing cars I've seen here, this one...is absolutely my favorite.
The day I win the lottery is the day I call Singer. I'd love to just *see* and photograph one at some point though. Absolutely beautiful cars.
Man, that car is so cool! The silver is so nice! Lottery winning dreams!
Mr Jay Leno is my hero. The way he talks and knows details about every of his cars, he knows how to actually work on them. Like they were family members. Not a typical collector who only knows how to write checks. Respect! You're well known among car enthusiasts here in the Eastern Europe too.
You don't have to work on your own cars to be an enthusiast. Older Rich people also aren't always in the condition to be crawling around fixing their cars. Think next time you make a stupid comment.🙄🙄🙄
You are stupid and disrespectful. There is a big difference between being a car enthusiast or just a rich guy who wants to have a four wheeled sculpture in his garage [trailer queen] to hold it for a while and sell it with a profit on auction. The only thing they can say about their car is how much they paid for it. Same thing goes to the drivers - that's a shame - a MAN over 40 and he doesn't know how to change oil or spark plugs even if he has a garage. Like one friend of mine - he went to the mechanic even to change his fuel pump - but yeah, he loves cars. - B.S. I admire people like Jay Leno who actually drive their cars, know their history, are not scared to pop the hood or to have their hands dirty. Jay can be a role model for every car enthusiast.
@@obywatelcane6775 No you are stupid, disrespectful and OBNOXIOUS. Sure their are rich guys that buy for investment. But than their are rich guys that love cars and buy them to drive. I have relatives that use to be auto mechanics and no longer work on their own cars. Does that make the non enthusiasts now??? I have worked on my older cars but won't do anything to my newer cars. Does that make me a non enthusiast??? AGAIN THINK BEFORE YOU MAKE AN IGNORANT COMMENT.
Last I heard... Jay has full "in-house" staff to maintain, repair and service his collection. Plus, in the early years he actually participated in conceptualizing and building many of his personal cars.
There is his 1966 Galaxie, his 1955 Buick Road Master with "Big Block", The 1966 Tornado ...that "Shogun" - which has the Yamaha-headed v-6, Ford "SHO" engine swapped in rear of Ford Fiesta, which was limited specialty, aftermarket build from back in 1989.
Jay has bona fides as real "Car guy"..
@@JustinAEgan He did. Im not sure if he does any work on them himself any longer. He's pretty busy again with the youtube show and the CNBC show and probably any other appearances he does. He is in his late 60's now so I can't see him under the hood all that often.
The details on these vehicles are incomprehensible, amazing build!!
Talking about only 1 vehicle for 25 minutes is really dedication and knowledge.
I have not had the opportunity to see a Singer in person, but every video I see they are nothing short of amazing. Such a beauty.
Always enjoy when a Singer Porsche comes into the shop. The incredible attention to detail they put into their cars while keeping the beauty of the original is second to none. Thanks for sharing Jay! 👍✌️
What shop is this?
Eric MK4 Jetta - Dunkin' Donuts
Eric MK4 Jetta That’s what I’m wondering. What shop is there where presumably multiple 1 out of 100 Singer Porsche’s come in to. Maybe The dude means jays shop.
Bmac 814 bingo! I figured my "thanks for sharing Jay" comment would have made it obvious. He's showcased a few of them over the years.
Jay: I'm in the Bugatti section of my garage...
Me: I'm in the 1998 Honda Civic section of my garage...
xXxPR0GAMER69xXx la dee da mr fancy pants showing off that he has a garage! Better than my cardboard box
I’m in the don’t have a car section of my don’t have a garage
Hahaha!
For fun to drive, bang for the buck and park it anywhere, I'll take my 2018 Civic LX coupe with a sweet 6 speed over a masterpiece 911 anyday.
I'm in the whatever crusty Maine shitbox that I have to patch up section/only section.
One of the most beautiful cars. Singer makes proper petrolhead machines which are peices of art.
wow. SWEET Ride.
it Oozes beauty and quality. gorgeous inside out. the interior is something else. LOVE it.
thanks for sharing.
911 megafan, Singer’s makes it perfect! Awesome work, beautiful car. Love it!
That's one of the nicest air cooled Porches I've seen in a long time. Beautiful interior. Nice car Jay.
Congratulations Singer! 100 cars in 10 years. Incredible!
A Singer is at the top of my list for my dream car. Each car is work of art.
Jay, excellent questions with a great responses from the representative of the company. Great questions and great answers, very rare.
I finally have an "all time favorite car!" That title has switched hands so many times over the years. But this styling never goes extinct. It'll be beautiful until the end of man
A Singer Porsche captures the true essence of Porsche. This is poster quality construction. Breathtaking.
I don’t even really like Porches, but this car is absolutely incredible to look at. This and Tim Allen’s COPO might be my 2 fav cars Leno has ever shown on this channel
finally i get it when guys put their car in the livingroom this is pure art, and even perfect for the track envy level 11
Just as I was giving up on new videos tonight, Jay comes in clutch.
It's 6 am
Time zone difference it may be 6 a.m. Where you are but it could still be evening where he is or earlier
he often drops new videos overnight sundays
Emphasis on CLUTCH!
He said its a great clutch and feel.
This car is absolute heaven! So beautiful! Thank you!
The car is automotive artwork, the dashboard is a masterpiece! Everywhere on this car looks perfect, tasteful and expensive. Everything looks appropriate for an air cooled era car.
13:08 “ALABAMA WOW!” - goes deaf
HAHAHA :DD
Lol felt the pride in keeping it in the states
Gorgeous. I need 3 of these in my life.
Beauty is in its simplicity and timeless design.
It's concepts like this that make these cars even more fun. Awesome work Singer! I love your cars!
No 911 fan. But the Singer 911's are drop.....dead.....gorgeous. Everything about the whole idea behind a singer is absolute magnificence.
I said I'm not a fan. I don't dislike the 911. The car is rightfully so legendary. But it would not be my choice if I was shopping in this segment. (Singer is different because it does cost a pretty penny)
its a 964
still a 911
Sorry (not sorry) your comment is senseless. If you like the purest form of the 964 (911) then you are a fan of the 911. Also, there is no person on earth that isn't a fan of the 911.
I have to agree with you Xearin, I never cared for the 911 design ( all 55 years of it) myself but the build quality on this car is unbelievable.
Absolutely stunning.
These cars are just a piece of art. I just love it.
I love cars. I am obsessed with them. Old and new. I was born in Southern California and, in high school, I loved pulling my Volkswagen Beetle into the driveway to wash it on warm breezy day.
Fast forward 15 years. I moved to NYC to be an artist. I am carless and it's killing me. I feel stuck. Trapped on this island with no way out. Rental cars are not the answer. They are lifeless. My only respite is to spend countless hours researching and dreaming about cars through this inflexible glowing screen.
From the Toyota Prius to the Rolls Royce Phantom, all cars are noble expressions of human engineering, ingenuity, and creativity. For me, however, there is one car that sits at the apex of all others.
If I can own just one automobile in the world it would be a Porsche by Singer. The Singer 911 is a masterpiece. I do not say this flippantly. Yes, the Singer 911 is a masterpiece at the level of Michelangelo's Pieta. It is rolling sculpture. Every curve, every detail is excruciatingly crafted. It's so beautiful that, upon a glance, Medusa herself would turn to stone.
My hairs stand up on the back of my neck. My arms and legs go numb. My whole body trembles. I weep.
In the end, I don't know how I will ever be able to afford a Porsche by Singer. Now my dream becomes my nightmare...
God damn, what a beautiful 911 ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️
Love from Germany 💙❤️💙
This video had me at “Singer’s...”. Oh how I want one of these beautiful machines.
....rode and drove a Singer....around a fair ground. The attention to detail is lost on a glance. These people actually and with an excited mood, do this work daily. Beyond amazing. For the super car restorers, this is the poster child. Thanks Rob!
You should really thank Tim.
Nice to listen to a guy that clearly knows his business inside and out. Well done Tim
Beautiful car. Fits Jay’s specifications perfectly: Gorgeous fit and finish, excellent mechanics and also a potential daily driver, grocery getter.
Could you imagine how crushed you would be if you came out and saw a ding in your door at the grocery store? I'm against violence but I wouldn't be able to stop myself.
@@johnsheetz6639 Get it fixed, it's a car. And I say that as a Singer owner.
Such a lovely Porsche, thanks for sharing Jay!
Congrats to Singer of some fine workmanship. That color combo is dreamy! Makes me want a Posche for the 1st time.
Also would like to say the producers of this show are top notch. "Tesler" - Jay is a true New Englander still!
This car, especially the paint, is absolutely gorgeous
Love the car, but are also impressed with Tim Gregorio. Very knowledgeable and well-articulated. A "Christian von Koenigsegg"-performance.
Here's a bit of a secret. Tim IS Singer, a lot more than Rob Dickenson is.
Sunday Icing on the cake!
I would have been terrified to drive this on LA roads! Some asshat crunches that back bumper... tears. What a gem this is.
That red NA Miata though 😍😉
A miata is fun and all but that singer is just incredible.
Beautiful colour
I just wanna see the nickel plated apple.
19:16 "I've got a car in the UK that's just over 8.5k miles"
lol, cool. Glad to know real drivers are chipping in.
And henceforth this Singer shall sit in my museum say I
@@icecreamalacarte that's why Jay doesn't own one
I love my blue Ferrari lettin it rip today.
@@thomascampr Well, I have no doubt that Jay Leno enjoys driving but he is a collector first and and foremost. I mean, with a fleet of over 500 vehicles at your disposal it would be hard to drive each of these even once a year.
@@ifrit35 the real issue is finding the keys 😂. Just imagining slipping up and putting all your mustang keys on the same keychain
Jay it’s hard to explain to people who don’t own or driven extensively a Porsche 911 , the whole Porsche thing, I wasn’t a believer until I bought one and a person kinda gains an appreciation for the man-machine interface and how the 911 reacts on the road, as you know you actually need to drive it, which means thinking and it’s under your total control. For people that maybe want a car to do everything for them, then the 911 may not be what they are looking for.
This is one beautiful car by Singer! Jay, you are a lucky guy to be able to sample these beauties. Wishing you all the best in the new year of 23.
"Ok I'm in prison, I hit a child -- what happened?" LOL
You didn't drive it on a track!
Timestamp
@Guy That face you make when the speed bump screams.
This would be my Sunday of my Dream 7 Car Garage... 💜
This 100 is a special car. Most Singers have some very custom details and colours, but the subtlety of this one, in silver and black with the blackberry interior...magnificent. No showy bling, stock looking gauges and steering wheel. This is going to be a historic car followed for years to come. I hope the eventual owners will honour it and let it be seen and celebrated by the public.
25:13, she looked from her Miata.
It's very much a #100 car in name only. The design is very much "standard" Singer so to speak. Every Singer is unique in the sense that most choose their own colours, but that's about it - same here. Singer does not offer super weird options, they offer different materials, colours etc. but that's about it.
My car is very much like this, just dark metallic green with different colours in the interior. Same patterns and weaves etc. just different colours.
For some odd reason this customer chose the base brake option and the heavy doors. I'm guessing that this is about 430-440k at the time + the donor.
Stunning job, passion for what they do, attention to the smallest detail, quality materials, an understanding of what the customer wants and delivering it. Kudos to Singer for bringing an outstanding product to the market place and having a healthy order book for the future. Great video despite not being able to hear all the conversation above the “background noise”, or maybe I’m getting deaf in my old age (?).
Glad I found this episode 👍🏻.
Turn up the volume! Full volume and still barely audible on all devices. May I recommend "TURN IT TO 11"!!!!
They need to start at an 11 AND TAKE IT TO A 15 REAL QUICKLY!
Except Jay's "Alabama!" made my ears bleed.
Mellow out man. Listen to the sustain man.
Jay Leno sponsored by Levi Strauss?
no Wrangler
which are made in Asia... 2Taco's and a pair of boot cuts
Jean on Jean. A crime against humanity.
@@OnPointFirearms It's called a Canadian tuxedo, and it actually rules, but Jay just looks frumpy and tired in it
He's not wearing clothes. That's his hide. Paints himself blue every morning. A very, very, strange man.
Being a big and tall guy, seeing you in this air-cooled 911, reminded me of what I always loved about these vehicles: the roominess. In the 70s I worked for a rental agency that had everything from little Datsun Honey Bees to luxury barges. We aldo rented Triumphs, FIATs, you name it, and Porsches. Being the lot guy, I got to drive everything. Even my boss's Seville wasn't as roomy. Porsches actually had headroom. I laugh thinking about that place, because if I had to come rescue you for any reason, they would send me out in the shop car, a Chevette. People were more than ready to get out of that thing when we got back to the offices.
Man thats one beautiful Porsche,i love it.
Viewer here from Alabama. After the Alabama comment, I have got to admit I was totally expecting a joke. Lol
Joshua Pritchard i was expecting a joke too haha. Glad there wasn’t.
I'll oblige. Stop going to family reunions to pick up chicks.
Maybe the outsiders are starting to grow up.
The only comment I have to make, since some of the smartest people in the world live in alabama, is those beautiful Fuchs are going to be ruined by those back country roads inbetween Huntsville, Birmingham, and the Georgia state line.
Because let's be honest, anything really south and west of Birmingham are a bunch of boring roads. The twisties and good elevation changes are the north east of birmingham.
LOL I can relate, but you know, it could be worse, you could be like me...from Mississippi.
Can you guys fix the sound issue? it's always sooooooo low
Xsfegdsh
Oii gx
Having been fortunate enough to drive a Singer-restored 911 (the Pfaff commission) for an article I wrote, I can testify to it's goodness. It's rebuilt from the ground up but feels like the best air-cooled 911 you ever drove. Wonderful handling balance and useable power.
Jay Leno, congratulations, this car is a dream !
Tim: "That's milky knickle"
Jay: "Sounds like a stripper"
“Ya no we don’t mess with water cooled 911’s 😏”
Jay: the motor..what is this (manifold) off of?
“That’s actually off a water cooled 997 GT3 🤪”
its not a coolant part though. but the 997 gt3 is an incredible car. if not the epitome of a porsche 911
@Jorn Navarre Is that the X51 intake from the PowerKit, LOL.
Love Singer's work! Such nice details and attention to detail. Really like the blackberry interior color.
Beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing.
8500 not 85000? Jay just called every singer owner a beotch!
Sadly these are garage queens.
Thought the same...drive the damn cars! Full disclosure..have a 2018 911 GTS with over 10k on it. While its no Singer, I plan to drive the wheels off of it..
Rightfully so. That’s the crux of a Singer Porsche. They make essentially the perfect version of the 911 to drive and they get so expensive that everyone is afraid to buy one. They are no longer drivers cars, they are “investments”. Not too different from a lot of super cars I guess.
@@wallstbull1
Not trying to take anything away from you, but the current 911 GTS IS very much an everyday car and you've had roughly two years to do it. Had it been an "exotic" Porsche, well that's more interesting. I've helped putting 13500 km on a GT3 RS that was delivered in May this year between then and October, and 3k of those are done on the Ring.
@@mcearl8073
What's really neat about Singer in Europe is, that compared to many other new cars, they actually get cheaper. In Germany, a Singer will actually be less than a new Turbo, and perhaps even GTS. It has to do with the fact that while you have to pay VAT of the build from Singer, the taxes of putting plates on it etc. is all original 964. In a country like Denmark, a Singer is a fourth the price of a Ferrari 488 Spider and half that of a good GTS. The only country where a Singer can be considered truly expensive compared to new exotics, is in the US, but that's because everything else is so cheap.
Jay: "Congratulations, Tim. I think the new owner is going to love this car..."
Tim: "Thanks, Jay."
Owner: (At home flipping through channels and this episode comes on). WHAT the F....
The owner was waiting at Jays garage :-)
That might be the most beautiful car I've seen on his show. Good lord the detail.
Just visited the REVS institute. Absolutely amazing collection , not all Porsche but truly gives a good overall representation of automobile evolution and I’m sure as you know Porsche is a leading innovator ! Seeing cars like these makes you re think how much you know or have seen.
Beautiful car, but it's for the very rich. A stock used 911 in good condition if you can find one can give you just as much enjoyment.
looove me some 911.....but this car will give a bit MORE enjoyment..lol
Zorch izvay that’s the problem. 964 Porsche are quite expensive for used vintage cars.
Air cooled 911s are already very pricey so I doubt anybody who buys one is strapped for cash
@@benjamins9121 I have a 1977 911S for sale
My god that’s a gorgeous car.
I love this channel. I smile the whole time.
My favorite part of your show is the look on these guys faces when you are driving. Keep up the good work man.
That Porsche is just beautiful.
";-)
Now I have to go watch No Man's Land. ;-)
extraordinary! the artistic touch is very detailed .. this is more than an ordinary restoration workshop .. starting from the exterior, interior, to the engine parts are very, very detailed, measured and perfect 👌🏻
Speechless... I am without speech...
Spooky star chaser in red miata @ 25:10.
Gotta get the DLS on the episode!
Just read an article on this Singer DLS in the latest Road&Track issue. 1.8 MILLION bucks ! Really ? C'mon Keith, 1.8 million$ !? Ridiculous. Insane. As Jay would say "More money than brains!" syndrome here. Like who in his right mind, will shell out 1.8 million bucks for a tweaked out 911 but daddy's dumb, hyper rich Saudi "princes"? As they say, there's a sucker born every second !
@@marcryvon you're clueless.
Well, thank you and have a nice day too !
Love the interior color... very unique!
Absolute art! Love it.
Such a sexy metallic colour
Who put the mic underneath the guy's shirt placket? Jay is twice as loud! It's not like this is the second video of the channel. Jesus!!!
JUST THE OPPOSITE, HE MUST HAVE HYPERSENSITIVE HEARING.
Great interviewer and great guest! Gorgeous car!!
What a jewel.
Pure automotive art !
