I'm really considering, designing and having made a F1 version made from carbon fibre with titanium wheels 😎

An early one I hope as something like a Maserati 4CL would be a better hand fit than modern F1 cars.

Looks different than the other Singer cars. What is it based on? New engine? 

That’s a DLS - with the Williams engine etc. It’s quite a piece of engineering and only 1.8million….

Nice. Looks better than the first one.

Not sure why but I think this is cool, perhaps a nice change from the usual yanks.......................

Back in the late ‘80’s when I was 18 and still at home, a neighbour of ours was good friends with Gary Newman. He often used to visit and once came round in his purple boat tail Rivera. I came home from the pub a little worse for wear saw it and was mesmerised!  He came out to leave to find me sitting on the curb just staring at it taking it all in. I told him I loved his car. He just laughed, said cheers, jumped in and drove off. Think I was too drunk to be star struck (or be offered a sit in it!)😊

A real blast from the past, reminded me of Boulevard Blues: a project car of Street Machine magazine. Candy blue low rider with white interior and sound to light roof lining. It was acceptable in the Eighties...

Haha, Gary Numan!    He used to live in a sleepy nearby village tucked away in the Sussex countryside with a really nice pub.   He moved to L.A. saying Sussex was 'full of thugs' and 'too rough' for him.  

This has been a constant source of amusement in our household, we always have to remember to pack our pepper spray and not carry cash whenever we go for a drink. I mean, just look at the place....
