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.

Well thought out. Except for one thing. $300K is lunch money to most of the Singer customers. It represents another of the silly things done/bought by the very rich.
