Porsche (964) 911 Restomod by Theon Design: A British Singer? | Carfection 4K

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

Got to admit, for a small company there's almost manufacturer levels of thought and precision that's gone into this. Looking forward to seeing more of these.

[@RobbieKhan]

Better than manufacturer level fit and finish. These are cars that get QA checked by a human being at every inch and nut and bolt rather than roll off a production line.

[@AliasHSW]

Since discovering TD a few years ago following Singer, I say I prefer TD. There is an indescribable something about the details that makes pure and purposeful

[@bmuns6445]

Although the singer exposed shift linkage always takes the cake. The interior design on this car is a 10 with nothing to compare. The back seat design is PERFECT, the door cards are PERFECT. I would have probably just painted the fan in the engine mustard yellow and asked Sharkworks for a rear breaklight with a lightbar.

[@JayJay2510]

Isn't it incredible how a car that a whole lot of people dismiss as a sporty beetle has inspired so many people, so many lives, so many careers? A design that many claim hasn't changed for the better half of a century still has that imprinting effect on new generations of petrolheads. Ferrari might have unrivaled passion, others might have unrivaled power, but Porsche... Porsche seems to have something stylistic, something intangible, something timeless, that inspires generation upon generation.

[@dhmallet]

As usual, fabulous car selection, driving impressions, and film quality. There are so many ways to do a 911 restomod and all are special and individual. A RUF is a car developed alongside the contemporary model. The Singer is one man's vision of the best pieces and looks of all 911s, so to me, the Theon is in the Singer tradition, but there are a lot of companies doing that today, many of which Henry has profiled.

[@davect01]

Watching Henry grin the entire time should tell you all you need to know. Beautiful car

[@G50_GT3M3CSLM2C]

I like how Henry politely pointed out the items that he felt could be engineered or become options. Interesting how the custom Porsche HotRod/Recreation 911 builds are going, prices are becoming astronomical and I'm thankful I got my 2 air cooled wonders 9 years ago. Theon interiors are more inventive but they are using the same SpinneyBeck German leather as Singer-and of course I now use. I prefer 1987-1988 G50s but I see the 964 platform as more modern. I'll keep my mechanical steering with all its wiggle. With the Taycan Turbo S in the mix-drove it on track and its beyond amazing...911 and cars are about to evolve and keeping these masterpieces alive is critical.

[@Pabster007]

Beautiful car and obviously built with passion by Theon 👍🏼 Great video with top notch production quality. Thanks.

[@bpowick]

If Henry’s got a smile on his face while driving a car then you know it’s a good car.

Spectacular piece of cinematography. The car, as good as it seems, clearly have some rough edges.

Dreaming is as good as it can be painful 🥴😎
