Fantastic looking car I sure hope the Williams portion runs better than their F1 team

I thought it looked awesome until I saw the inside of the car.
Evidently their interior guy is a 17 year old pimp with spiked hair.

Yep. I suspect a new RUF is likely cheaper, and faster. And that interior is most likely just what the owner ordered, but he has bad taste.

I think a bit nicer than a RWB, not for me. Would buy a new GT3RS and a house in the mountains.

That interior belongs in the colonoscopy thread.

There's a huge gap between the first Singers and the above ... I did not "get" Singer at first but those latest ones with the big motor and all the refinements are indeed sweet and impressively engineered...

There is a very early singer at my shop, which I see all the time (Even sat in it, don't tell - wonder if it's always broken or what but it's always there) and honestly that does NOTHING for me. Looks like a cheap clone with a custom interior I could replicate for pennies on the $. (not saying that's true, just looks like that) .. Ironically I "see" the value proposition way more on the late models than on the cheaper early ones ;-) It's all good !
