Globally renowned for blending the brand’s unique perspective and meticulous craftsmanship with client inspiration, Singer Vehicle Design’s modification process has become regarded as the “best of the best” for Porsche 911s to be “Restored, Reimagined and Reborn.”
Singer Vehicle Design was founded in 2009 by Rob Dickinson, a former sports car designer who then became a rock musician, and now stands as one of the world’s foremost distillers of the essence of air-cooled Porsches.
Singer’s vision involves taking a customer’s existing Porsche 911 and performing restorative work, combined with cutting–edge updates to enhance the cars’ performance, aesthetics and modern-day useability, while preserving the essence and magic of the original.
The Singer brand is a celebration of Porsche’s genius. Each restoration begins with a customer’s car and repatriates the 911 chassis of the early 1990s with the most beautiful Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche coachwork from 1964. The goal is to preserve a moment in time for the owner and capture a snapshot of the air-cooled period of the Porsche 911. A work of pure craftsmanship in true collaboration with clients, the final restoration takes more than 4000 hours to complete.
Singer’s philosophy – blending tradition with modernity to re-create bespoke, one-of-a-kind masterpieces to each customer’s desires within perfectly optimised air-cooled Porsche 911s – continues to move forward with each new custom order.
With limited availability and a restoration cycle of eight to 10 months, Singer special vehicles have been commissioned by Porsche owners in Mexico, Hong Kong, Indonesia, France, Russia, Canada, England, Germany, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, South Korea, Norway and the UK.
“Our company’s heritage is based on utilising the ultimate in automotive design, engineering and industry standards to meet and exceed the vision of our fine clientele,” said Rob Dickinson, creator and founder of Singer. “Our partnering with Historic Motoring Ventures will extend our passion to Malaysia and Singapore, so that we can share our love for the 911 with collectors in the region, while taking our unique celebration of Porsche to a whole new level.”
