March 6, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

In 2009, British musician Rob Dickinson founded the company Singer Vehicle Design which restores and modifies Porsche automobiles. Since then, they have done numerous restorations and modifications of Porsche 964 cars, and now they have opened the doors of their workshop to Top Gear.

Those who want a classic sports car, restored and modified with modern technology, and assembled according to the highest quality standards, unfortunately have to be patient and wait because the waiting list is sometimes four years long.

Since Singer Vehicle Design was founded, demand has grown rapidly to the point where the company has decided to stop accepting new orders for its Classic model. The company decided to do this because it wants to preserve its value in the future. However, the Turbo model is offered, but about 200 people are already waiting for it.

In its plant, Singer performs all operations, from painting and installation of spare and new parts to assembly and finishing works. Singer director Mazen Fawaz claims that the company can meet all customer requirements and increase the car’s value to seven figures except in situations of severe damage.

We’ve already seen some of their work before, and we can say with certainty that they are a piece of art. Here are some of the cars that the company: Porsche 911 Turbo Study, Porsche 930 Turbo, 1989 Porsche 911, Porsche 911 (964), 911 Cabriolet.
