I disagree. Singer is the King of Frankenporsche. They start with a 964 chassis, then bolt on custom pieces from various sources that have changed a few times. Some motors are rebuilt 964 3.6's, other are Cosworth. The exhausts were made by a small stainless steel fab shop in Orange Co. That may have changed. This is no state of the art manufactured car like Koenigsegg or McLaren. It's some well funded guys building very well done Porsche themed hot rods.
Maybe they'll sell 100 before the market dries up. In a decade I doubt there will be a source for OEM Singer parts, or specialists working on them. If I had $300K to spend on a weekend hot rod it would be a Ferrari or McLaren... Or, a Porsche collector car as an investment, it would a 365 Speedster or 911R. I certainly wouldn't bank on Singer.
