Buying
What should I be paying?
This is, give or take some taxes, a £2 million car. A six month down payment on a three year loan would be, what, £350,000? The monthly repayments would be maybe £60,000.
No-one is going to be buying a DLS that way. Many of them will find the amount piffling. I just hope they appreciate what they’ve got, admire the skill that’s gone into its creation. Yes, it’s probably four times the price of one of Singer’s regular restorations, but only 75 are being made and the leap forward that’s been made here, the re, re-imagining of the concept, blows the word restoration out of the water. No-one has pushed the Porsche 911 further or made it more special.
This is not only a very different beast to a standard Singer, but likely a very good investment. We hate to think of a DLS being a garage queen, but even more we hate the thought of it being flipped for profit. Singer’s reimagined 911s already trade for more than they cost new. This car has been five years in development, customers are likely impatient, those that aren’t on the list or have missed out might be eager to rectify that. Well, they damn well ought to be.
