January 2026
The service was carried out by Singer, not by a specialist. For a car with no parts catalogue, that is the difference between a service history and a set of invoices.
The Surrey Commission Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Long-bonnet coachwork in carbon fibre. A four-litre air-cooled flat-six. Six speeds, three pedals.
Named, as Singer's cars are, for the place its commission began.
£895,000
The premise
A question rather than a product
Singer was founded on a single question: what would the air-cooled 911 have become if the money and the patience had never run out?
The answer begins with a 964 stripped to bare metal. What returns is not a restoration, because a restoration has a specification to return to. Here there is none. Every panel, every tolerance and every hour is decided by one client and one car.
Inspiration comes from the road-racing 911s of the early 1970s, before wings and turbochargers reshaped the silhouette. What emerges looks like a memory of that decade and drives like nothing from it.
Coachwork
The long bonnet
In 1974 the 911 lost its front deck. Impact bumper regulations shortened the bonnet and reshaped the nose, and the proportion the car was drawn with never came back. The 964 underneath this commission is a post-1974 car.
The long-bonnet conversion buys that proportion back. A longer run of metal ahead of the windscreen, bumpers pulled in tight, the nose lower and further forward. It is one of the most involved options on Singer's list and the one that changes the car most.
The panels are carbon fibre throughout. Bumpers, wings, doors, rear quarters, roof and engine cover, hand-laid and finished to a depth that reads as paint rather than composite. Wheels are 17-inch forged in the RSR pattern, white nickel with aubergine centres. Oil and fuel fillers sit outside the body, where the racing cars carried them.
Powertrain
Four litres, naturally aspirated
The engine is the four-litre flat-six, the unit Singer arrived at after several years of building and running these cars. Romans record 400 bhp.
There is no turbocharger to smooth the delivery and no water jacket to quieten it. What reaches the rear wheels arrives in proportion to the throttle and the revs, and nothing else. The noise is a by-product of the cooling, which is why it sounds like it does.
Six speeds and a limited-slip differential behind it. Öhlins adjustable dampers underneath, upgraded brakes with ABS inside the forged wheels. Singer publishes no performance figures for its commissions, so any number quoted for this car is the seller's.
Interior
Dark Blackberry, alabaster thread
The leather is Dark Blackberry. Alabaster contrast stitching runs the seams, and it is the only place the interior raises its voice. The carpets are dark blue, a shade off the leather rather than matched to it.
Behind the wheel sits Singer's own instrumentation, drawn and lettered for the car rather than carried over from something else. Switchgear is machined from billet aluminium. Hand-finished aluminium replaces the plastics the 964 left the factory with, which is most of what your hands touch.
The seats are eight-way adjustable and specified to touring rather than competition. Air conditioning, central locking, electric windows and mirrors, and a premium audio system are all present, fitted so quietly that they take a moment to find.
This car
One car, one specification
The donor is a 1991 964, right-hand drive and UK registered. The commission was completed more than a decade ago, which places it among the earlier cars Singer built and well before the waiting list reached its present length.
Singer carried out a comprehensive service and maintenance programme in January 2026. The car went back to the people who built it rather than to a third party, which is the only place a full record of the work exists. Romans International supply it with their Platinum Warranty.
Colour and trim are as first commissioned. Amazon Green Metallic over Dark Blackberry, the long-bonnet conversion, carbon coachwork and the four-litre engine. Nothing has been re-specified since it left California.

Ten years and change. Enough to know the car, not enough to tire it.

The walk around
The photographs do the part the description cannot. Body, cabin, engine, and the details that only appear at close range.
Things the table leaves out
Ten years on
Completed more than a decade ago, when the waiting list was measured in months rather than years. Early cars carry a provenance the later ones cannot buy.
Right-hand drive
Most commissions are built left-hand drive for the American market. This one was ordered for British roads and has stayed on them.
RSR pattern
The wheel profile is drawn from the 1974 racing cars. The forging, the width and the metallurgy are entirely modern. The shape is the only part that is old.
A car with somewhere to go
Right-hand drive and UK registered means the practical questions are already answered. No import, no re-registration, no conversion, no paperwork to explain at a gate.
The seats are specified for touring and the gearbox has six speeds for a reason. This is a car that rewards a long route home, and one that a decade of ownership has already proven on British roads.
It will sit well in a collection. It will do considerably more than sit.
