Singer – die Sammlung (Teil 2)

Immer mehr

Es plagen uns technische Probleme hier auf der Seite. Ja, wir sind dran, aber wir machen das gleich richtig, das wird dann: grösser. Alles anders. Wohl etwa Ende August. Bis dahin müssen wir noch etwas improvisieren, leider, aber es das wird das Vergnügen hoffentlich nicht gross beeinträchtigen. In diesem Fall hier haben wir das Problem, dass wir die doch eher ausführliche Sammlung von Singer-Porsche (siehe: hier) nicht mehr weiter ausbauen können, also kommt hier nun Teil 2.

«Berlin», Chassis-Nummer WP0ZZZ96KS450443 (1989)

Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, Private Sales (Juli 2026), 1,1 Millionen Euro, mit diesen Angaben: «The Berlin Commission was completed by Singer Vehicle Designs in the fall of 2021, commissioned by Berlin-based visual artist Yoram Roth, and it is offered by RM Sotheby’s Private Sales directly on his behalf today. Born in Berlin, Roth studied photography at New York’s Fordham University and would later build a career spanning art, photography, and culture. As a photographer, he has exhibited series such as Nudes in Steel, Brutalism, and Spatial Concepts, which combine nude photography with sculpture and architecture. His work has been exhibited across Europe and North America. He is the Executive Chairman of Fotografiska and has been a pioneer in Berlins arts and nightlife scene. It is only natural that someone with such a keen eye for design and detail would be drawn to Singer Vehicle Design and their Classic Services 911s, automobiles which blend function, usability, and design into a singularly spectacular vehicle.
The Berlin Commission boasts the rare EU-compliant version of the 4.0-litre engine, mated to six-speed manual transmission. Its paintwork is Paint to Sample Berlin Red, a shade unique to this car, and the shade is further accentuated by subtle ghosted dual racing stripes. The paintwork is offset by nickel bumperettes and rear decklid badging, with black Porsche side script. Optioned with the desirable external fuel filler with no engraving, the external oil filler is engraved ‘OEL’. Black-painted brake calipers with white lettering hide behind silver Fuchs wheels. Finally, the front section of the car is protected with paint protection film. Step inside and the dominating feature of the Berlin commission’s interior is its custom ‘Berlin’ weave inserts, which can be found on the seat centres and door cards, adding a fabulous splash of colour against the black leather whilst simultaneously complementing the car’s paintwork. The seats are the four-way adjustable sport seats with seat backs in leather and nickel grommets. In a nod to 911s of past, the car is fitted with the early 911 gauge set. The tachometer is finished to match the car’s paintwork, whilst the rest of the gauges are finished in black, all with cream markings. As a further touch to the car and its owner’s heritage, all gauge wording is in German. The car is also fitted with the Porsche Classic Navigation system, equipped with Apple CarPlay, an upgraded Audison amp, Dynaudio speakers, and subwoofer, offering a 21st century infotainment experience alongside classic looks. Driven approximately 9,400 km by Roth since taking delivery in the fall of 2021, the car has always been well-maintained and looked after by the Dörr Group, Singer Vehicle Design’s affiliates in Germany. Nothing was overlooked in keeping the car in top mechanical and cosmetic condition, insuring it was always ready for a drive at a moment’s notice. The car’s last annual service was carried out by them in March of 2026 at 9,270 km. The Berlin Commission is being sold in partnership between RM Sotheby’s Private Sales and Singer Vehicle Design and thus it will be offered with a twelve-month warranty from Singer Vehicle Design. Finally, it is important to note that the Berlin commission is accompanied by two of Singers incredible chronographs; the Singer Track 1 Flamboyant and Singer Heritage Chronograph in piano black, as well as an additional Porsche Design Chronometer.»

«Los Angeles», Chassis-Nummer WP0AB2969LS450188 (1990)

Auktion: Broad Arrow, Quail 2026, Schätzpreis 1,1 bis 1,3 Millionen Dollar, mit diesen Angaben: «This 1990 Porsche 911 Coupe emerged from Singer in 2016 as the “Los Angeles Commission.” It is finished in stunning Paint to Sample Namib Yellow with subtle Ghosted Light racing side stripes and Bone White lettering according to its Singer-issued build sheet. The exterior is further enhanced with Nickel Plated Bumperettes, RSR Wheel Centers against a Black background, and Brembo brake calipers finished in Singer Racing Red with White lettering. The “Los Angeles Commission’s” cockpit is enveloped in Bone White from Singer’s Classic Leather Collection and features their distinct Uniform Weave throughout, with Ivory Perforated Vinyl headlining and contrasting Black trim including on the dashboard, A and B pillars, roll tops, signature Prototipo steering wheel, and shift knob. More subtle appointments include brass-finished grommets, Alabaster stitching, Waimea Marine Grade Leather compartments, and a Singer Orange tachometer with cream markings. Air conditioning remains standard, and the Becker radio is complemented by Porsche Classic Radio Navigation that enables Apple CarPlay functionality. At the heart of the “Los Angeles Commission” beats Singer’s signature Ed Pink-built 4.0-liter flat-six, which features Singer’s “Big” Cams and Ceramic Plenum Inlet. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission and Öhlins Sport two-way adjustable dampers, this example was clearly honed to come alive in the world-famous canyon roads in the city for which it was named.
The “Los Angeles Commission” spent a brief period of time in Florida, Quebec, Canada, and Indiana according to its detailed CARFAX Vehicle History Report, with noted maintenance performed at Graham Rahal Performance prior to the consignor’s acquisition in November 2023. Based in Texas, the consignor parted ways with the elegantly specified Singer the following January, but it is clear this distinct commission left a lasting imprint in their mind, and the consignor reacquired the car approximately six months ago. The owner notes that this example also benefits from a full application of paint protection film, which preserves its arresting PTS finish. The “Los Angeles Commission” is now offered with just 7,819 miles since it was Reimagined by Singer, and is furnished with its Singer build sheet and its CARFAX Vehicle History Report. Prior to Singer’s Reimagining, the CARFAX records a Damage Report in 2004; with Singer’s painstaking and world-renowned bare metal restorations that involve chassis seam welding and reinforcing the bodywork with carbon fiber panels, these components are refreshed to the highest standards through modern processes and expert craftsmanship. A potential odometer rollback is recorded after its Reimagining; a notation that is common among bespoke projects such as this where the car is essentially reborn.»

Classic Turbo:

«Aurum Verde», Chassis-Nummer WP0ZZZ96ZLS404372

Auktion: Broad Arrow, Quail 2026, Schätzpreis 1,5 bis 1,8 Millionen Dollar, mit diesen Angaben: «The „Aurum Verde Commission,“ internally known as „CT0274,“ was Singer’s international tip of the spear in 2024. Selected in Nice Green Metallic (also referred to as Palm Green Metallic) over a Cognac leather interior with Pascha-style woven leather seat inserts, it was featured in Top Gear and later tested for Evo by journalist and racer Richard Meaden. Meaden was effusive in his five-star review, praising everything from the fit and finish—“the fit of this Palm Green Metallic car’s carbon panels is unerringly precise, with a paint finish that’s glass smooth and swimming-pool deep“—to its driving dynamics, describing the Classic Turbo services as „one that effortlessly moulds to your mood and works with whatever road you find yourself on.“ Ultimately, he concluded, „this car has been developed and set up by people who know how a great 911 should feel at and beyond its limit.“ This, the very same car Meaden tested, features over $200,000 in optional extras expected from a car of this caliber shown to a worldwide audience in print and digital media. The starting point for any restoration must be the exterior and interior colors, chosen with input from Singer founder Rob Dickinson. The Singer-supplied build sheet, on file and available for review, records that CT0274 received numerous exterior and technical options including Nose Lift, Brembo Brake Calipers in Deviating Finish Pistachio with Carbon Ceramic Rotors, Full Vehicle Paint Protection Film, RSR Fuchs-style Wheels with Black Centers, and an Engine Bay Painted in Exterior Color.
If the exterior established Aurum Verde’s identity, the interior completed the vision. Swathed in Cognac leather from the Singer Exclusive Turbo Leather Collection, the optional 8-Way Adjustable Sport Seats, rear seats, and interior side panels feature a Bespoke Pascha-style Weave of Cognac and Lance Watson Anthracite leather. Natural Walnut serves as the Hard Accent Decor Trim on the interior door grab handles, under door pocket trim, across the face of the dashboard, and down the center console that houses a Walnut six-speed shift knob. Satin Bronze Bright Trim highlights many interior components, not least the Floating Gauges and Walnut dashboard trim edges with Mood Lighting, a Premium Audio System, and Bone-colored Alcantara headlining round out the richly appointed cockpit. That same year, the Aurum Verde Commission traveled across Europe visiting Singer’s Global Partners. Much like the RUF Yellowbird immortalized in the VHS classic Faszination some 37 years earlier, Aurum Verde starred in Singer’s Palm Green Meets the Green Hell filmed at the Nürburgring while undertaking development work supporting TÜV certification for Germany and other markets recognizing the standard. That July the Goodwood Festival of Speed beckoned. Raised on a platform in front of the Duke of Richmond’s famous stately home in West Sussex, its very English combination of Nice Green Metallic over Cognac wooed and wowed the attendees in equal measure. It is no stretch to say that Singer’s high standards, exemplified by this Porsche 911 restored through Classic Turbo services, were, in part, behind the company’s 2026 selection as the marque celebrated with the Central Feature display before Goodwood House. Later that summer, this globe-trotting Classic Turbo commission made trips to Poland and Australia, further proof of the California company’s international standing. In 2025, the Aurum Verde Commission returned to the United States, not unlike a Rhodes Scholar, enhanced in stature from its travels abroad. At Singer’s 115,000-square-foot California base of operations in Torrance, Los Angeles, Aurum Verde recently received a thorough mechanical refresh. Singer records that the 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six was sent to engine builders Mahle in Detroit, Michigan for a teardown and rebuild with the six-speed transmission receiving the same level of attention, returning this commission to, in Singer’s words, “pristine mechanical condition.” The shock absorbers were replaced, and so too was the Brembo Carbon Ceramic Braking System. At cataloging, Singer estimates that just 200 „run-in“ miles have been added to Aurum Verde since its well-deserved refresh. Consigned to Broad Arrow’s inaugural 2026 The Quail Auction with just 8,449 miles at the time of cataloging, the Aurum Verde Commission is one of very few Porsche 911s reimagined through Singer’s Classic Turbo services to emerge on the public market in recent years.»
