By 2015, Singer Vehicle Design had begun to establish itself within the Porsche marketplace as the go-to outfit for 911 ‘restomods’. The company mantra “Everything is Important” could be seen in all of their work, from the exquisite carbon fibre bodywork to hand-built 3.8-litre flat-six engines, and the seemingly limitless possibilities for customization. The two-year wait list for a Singer spoke to their cars’ sheer desirability, and slowly but surely Singers were starting to find their way into markets outside of North America. With founder Rob Dickinson being born and raised in Norfolk, building the very first 911 Reimagined by Singer to UK RHD specifications would have been an incredibly special moment. The realisation of that dream is embodied in the very car offered here. Dubbed “UK 1”, this was the very first 911 to be reimagined by Singer in RHD specifications for the UK. Like all the early cars, it was fitted with the Cosworth-built 3.8-litre flat six-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, driving power to the rear wheels. Finished in Egg Yolk paintwork over a black leather interior, the car is fitted with comfort seats as well as rear seats and a roll bar and is further optioned with a Becker stereo and navigation system. Upon arrival in the UK, UK 1 was retained by Singer for promotional activities. To many British enthusiasts, this would have been the very first 911 Reimagined by Singer that they had laid eyes upon, as it was driven by Marino Franchetti and Chris Harris for Singer up the hill at the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Later that summer, it was tested by Dickie Meaden for Evo magazine and featured on the cover of their December 2015 issue (issue no. 215). Meaden was besotted with the car from the outset, proclaiming in a YouTube feature that accompanied the editorial piece that “I had to choose one car, to own and drive from now until the day I die, it would be this”. High praise from one of the leading car journalists in the UK. Since its reimagining, this particular 911 has been driven just under 4,650 miles. With its current owner, the car was serviced by Heritage Auto Works in Berkshire, Singer’s official agent in the UK, in September 2023 and again in May 2024. It presents in excellent condition throughout and represents a significant moment in the history of what is arguably the leading Porsche ‘restomod’ outfit.
