You understate the cost of a Singer 911 these days (not that that does anything other than bolster your argument).

The “base” Singer is the naturally aspirated coupe; they have recently announced that they’ve stopped taking orders for this one. Production will have totaled ~450 units once they’re finished. Hard to find one with the 4.0L engine for much less than $1MM now.

The Singer DLS is heavily limited and will cost more than double what the “base” car does; the DLS has the 4 valve air cooled engine with Williams F1 fairy dust on it.

The new volume car is a 964-based 930 turbo evocation, available in coupe or convertible.

Porsche used to give Singer the cold shoulder and simultaneously fellate Magnus Walker; now Porsche Motorsports North America is building engines for Singer and Magnus will take whatever scraps he can get from Porsche, Merc, or Ms. Elliott’s plate.

There are only two things keeping me from being insanely jealous of you:

1. I have more money sunk in my 1989 Continental Singer-ture Series.

2. After driving a 6-speed Fusion I now openly pine for its Milan counterpart.
