$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?
“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!
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.😎
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
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!
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.
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
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 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 😭🤣
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!
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 😅
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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😮
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 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
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.
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 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.
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
