I think I already told the story here but I sold my briefly owned 964 coupe to Singer last year, (or was it 2016?). They were going to turn it into demo because all of the cars they have there belong to clients and cannot really be driven by prospective buyers.
I was looking forward to going back and driving it after they did their magic on it, which is really more like remanufacturing than anything else. They save very little of the original car, even most of the body becomes CF. Their processes and workmanship are really something, I really wanted to snap some pics but they don’t allow it for some obvious reasons. MMarsh went w me there one of the times, we were both pretty awed by the company and the cars.
Even though I work a stone’s throw from them some of the time, I did not get around to going back until very recently. I drive past almost daily. Rob was in Europe w the Williams guys, (I think), but the rest of them were there and nice as ever. It’s been so long now that w/o my old VIN, they could not tell me which car was my old one. I need to dig that up and go back sometime.
As for the $1.5M, all I can say is that there are a lot of rich guys around these days.
