The Singers are just gorgeous, not overdone, pure class and automotive love right there.. And I love how Tim gets all chuffed when certain features come into the conversation, you can tell he`s excited about the car and the job they did, and considering the somewhat inauspicious beginnings they had, all the initial work they did with shaping and the wheels and everything, he and the team absolutely should be proud of what they accomplished, great work!
This interior is something else, just gorgeous, well done Singer!

There is a big difference between being a car enthusiast or just a rich guy who wants to have a four wheeled sculpture in his garage [trailer queen] to hold it for a while and sell it with a profit on auction. The only thing they can say about their car is how much they paid for it. Same thing goes to the drivers - that's a shame - a MAN over 40 and he doesn't know how to change oil or spark plugs even if he has a garage. Like one friend of mine - he went to the mechanic even to change his fuel pump - but yeah, he loves cars. - B.S. I admire people like Jay Leno who actually drive their cars, know their history, are not scared to pop the hood or to have their hands dirty. Jay can be a role model for every car enthusiast.

Last I heard... Jay has full "in-house" staff to maintain, repair and service his collection. Plus, in the early years he actually participated in conceptualizing and building many of his personal cars. There is his 1966 Galaxie, his 1955 Buick Road Master with "Big Block", The 1966 Tornado ...that "Shogun" - which has the Yamaha-headed v-6, Ford "SHO" engine swapped in rear of Ford Fiesta, which was limited specialty, aftermarket build from back in 1989. Jay has bona fides as real "Car guy"..

@@mcearl8073 What's really neat about Singer in Europe is, that compared to many other new cars, they actually get cheaper. In Germany, a Singer will actually be less than a new Turbo, and perhaps even GTS. It has to do with the fact that while you have to pay VAT of the build from Singer, the taxes of putting plates on it etc. is all original 964. In a country like Denmark, a Singer is a fourth the price of a Ferrari 488 Spider and half that of a good GTS. The only country where a Singer can be considered truly expensive compared to new exotics, is in the US, but that's because everything else is so cheap.
