I've been addicted to watching all the youtube video's of the Singer 911's. Simply mind blowing work to rebuild an older 911 that beats a GT3 RS around most test tracks. Sure it costs 3 times as much as a GT3 but just imagine a 914 if they were to do one. Out of my league I know, but just knowing someone has that kind of craftsmanship makes me smile. They use a 3.8 motor that Cosworth helped tweek and tune, fully seam welded chassis and nothing is overlooked. They put 4000 hrs into building the Singer 911. Obviously for the ultra rich but what do you suppose a Singer 914 could fetch in price?

I am drawn to the 914 for all the same reasons I am the Singer 911, It comes down to man and machine sharing a connection. Sure for Singer kind of money you could have a new 911 turbo, Ferrari 488 and so on but with traction control, launch control, PDK paddle shift and all the other stuff I wouldn't enjoy it as much. After a few 914 builds I think I have started one that will be the last. I hope to put enough care and attention to detail and attempt to do my version of "re-imagined". I would love a Singer but nothing can replace something you build yourself.
