The team at Singer were mega to work with. To say I’m delighted is an understatement.
Just need decent weather so that I can drive it. https://t.co/Uat1YeanF4

Good taste, no doubt. He may be an absolute legend; his prior Evo writing didn't tickle my fancy.

The idea of using a material that's delicate for a car seat is dumb, but it's a lovely looking thing!

Although what the fuck is that crappy fog light doing screwed on the back?

He still lives in Scotland iirc so he’s probably planning on getting it registered here. I imagine it’ll be removed as soon as it’s in his garage :lol:

It's on the wrong side to pass a UK MOT.

I like that he’s kept the old style rear lights and not their weird looking modern ones.

But yeah, the £5 wonky trailer fog light looks shite, I’m sure they could have come up with a neater solution.

Just looks like leather to me or am I missing something? :lol:

The dumbest thing about some Singers for me is the leather lined engine bay which will no doubt look crap after a while.
How about not having a sig at all?

He mentions the fact that it's easily removable for once it's registered.

It’s weird that they didn’t just stick an ultra slim led one under the bumper which wouldn’t even be visible when off.

Another Singer that's stunning and tastefully done.

Would still be my lottery-win, single car garage.
Cheers,
