What were the options list? I’ve noticed some DLS owners have a higher shifter, others have no rubber boot, or they have a painted center tunnel. Additionally, what’s an unknown fact about the DLS program that hasn’t been talked publicly?

[@PROJECT1_]

The owner has been notified. ✅

[@QUARTZdls]

⁠​⁠@JMV.12 Thanks for the question! The options list for the DLS is rather long. The only functional options are front axle lift and FOCAL audio system; everything else is a cosmetic option. Of course, Singer is largely about making a client’s dream come true, so you’ll see some commissions with revised shifter configuration, metal bezels around signal lights, and I’ve even heard of a sunroof being cut into one DLS… but I’m not sure if the owner pulled the trigger on that idea in the end. I haven’t seen a higher shifter, but I’ll look around. The painted tunnel is just one of many cosmetic options. When it comes to cosmetics, the permutations and combinations are dizzying to calculate. Sky is truly the limit. An unknown fact about the DLS program? The first 5 cars in the build sequence were assembled by the same guys that worked on low-volume-high-excitement cars like the Aston Martin One-77, Valkyrie, Lagonda Taraf, and Vanquish Zagato; the Ford GT Mk II, Mustang GT3, Mustang GT4, and GT GTLM/GLE; and other crazy stuff, no doubt. Did you guess Multimatic? You’re right. Singer switched to assembling the cars themselves, in the UK, after realising they would be able to deliver cars sooner than if waiting for the busy Multimatic to have more bandwidth. So Singer went and duplicated their LA operations, but tailored for the DLS, in the UK with a paint & body shop as well.

Hi! I'm so glad that car enthusiasts like you exist. You have incredible taste and you actually use your cars. Those two rarely co-exist. I also hope to see a very detailed video like this on your Gullwing. (Derrick, please make one! 😂) Since I am also a true believer of driving one's cars, my question is, how many kilometers have you done so far in the Singer? And how has it aged over those kilometers? Did any problems arise? Or does it still feel as tight as new? 😊

[@PROJECT1_]

A Gullwing short episode is coming... 😉

@@albrown1812the guy is sharing and talking about something he loves. So what if he can afford a singer? The fact still stands: it’s an understated vehicle. You have to approach it to see the fine details. And that’s what he’s conveying. You’re brushing him off for vain reasons and thus you’ll never truly see past your own biases. Stop being so jaded.

a well-spoken man, design is so important! it's the emotional aspect of a car and it's why us men can get so attached to these machines. Just like we did with horses in the past.

One of the best videos I've seen on any car in recent times!

I started to watch this on my phone but within a few minutes I realised this video was special. So I went downstairs to my lounge room and big TV. Turned down the lights and just enjoyed every moment of it. What a beautiful video. Such a gorgeous car, probably one of the best cars in the world which is crazy but I feel it’s true. The owner seems like a great guy and the story of the spec was great. Thank you for making this. And enjoy the car sir.

[@schizo0223]

Great video. Great car. Great owner who is obviously very conscious of his what makes him what he is today. I am sure his dad would be proud. Watching this makes me take my 911 out of the garage for a spin...imagining someday I will fulfill my potential and commission a Singer. Custom ordering and waiting for even a regular 911 from the factory was an exciting experience. Can't imagine what the Singer process would be like.

[@DWR123]

Probably the best video I have seen on capturing the Passion that Drives Rob Dickinson, Singer and their very fortunate owners.

[@MWS1960]

Stunning Porsche……I own a 991.1 Racing Yellow and after 104 cars over the past 40 years my only regret is that I did not own a Porsche 911 sooner. Your car is a work of art and something I could stare at in my living room… pure beauty ❤❤

[@QUARTZdls]

Definitely a car worthy of being stared at endlessly.

I have nothing else to say about this video other than this is beautiful. I often get a diluted sense of passion for vehicles after getting exposed to largely similar content on KZbin and social media in general.
