Well, that didn’t take long. In February, Singer Vehicle Design celebrated its 300th restoration work, a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer – Classic Study. That exact vehicle has now popped up for sale on RM Sotheby’s online site.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer © RM Sotheby’s Dubbed the ‘Sotto’ Commission by the owner, the Porsche started out as a 1990 Porsche 911 Targa (Type 964) model. It was then restored in line with Singer’s exacting standards, incorporating the client’s numerous customization requests.
The bespoke carbon-fibre bodywork was finished in Resistance Blue with ghosted side stripes. It is perfectly complemented by a bold interior highlighted by orange leather and black stitching. The cabin is further enhanced with lightweight carbon fibre track seats featuring woven leather centers and eye-catching nickel grommets.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer © RM Sotheby’s The pièce de résistance of the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer, is the 4.0L, naturally aspirated, air-cooled flat-six engine. That mill is hooked up to a 5-speed manual transmission, which then feeds power exclusively to the rear wheels.
The milestone vehicle is a testament to Singer’s steady growth from its inception in 2009 to a profitable enterprise with over 600 employees and a presence in the US and the UK.

It is being presented by RM Sotheby’s with less than 100 miles on the odometer. According to the auction house, the vehicle ‘remains in as-delivered condition, having only accumulated delivery and test miles since the completion of Singer’s exhausting work.’
