Well ...... it ain't a Singer and that's for sure ...... did he use the an actual 993 then modify that? ...... or did he use an earlier model but used the running gear and modified the 993 engine ....... have to say I think it is all a bit of a "mish-mash" ........ give me a Singer any day of the week above that.
We saw this at Dinslaken. Lots of work has gone in to it for sure and many nice touches. Wasn't quite as immaculately executed as a Singer, but still a very nice thing.
Had composite panels here and there and the fit of them seems a bit shy of factory.

Love it too!
I've noticed that Singer use the front scuttle from a 993 to get the distinctive placement for the wiper spindles. RUF do the same on a couple of their recent promotional pictures - certainly the 964-esque light blue car on their website. Also, the car has a very 993 turbo like intercooler, making me wonder if a lot more of the vehicle is actually 993 in origin...

I like it, especially the custom Xenon headlights. Yeah sure it aint no Singer but the attention to detail is not bad!
Only thing is potential buyers will struggle to find a 993 donor. For some reason, I don't have a problem backdating a 930 or 964, but surely a 993 is a crime!!!!

Will the day ever come when an original 993 will be worth more than this customised version and we'll all be saying it was sacrilege to have cut it up. Who knows.
If I were going down this route, I'd cut up a 912 which is almost there in terms of looks. Those rear arches don't look right to me and I don't think I could do that to a 993.
912's on the other hand are pretty crappy as standard but have potential and £70k of hot-rodding on top would get you a beast which would probably look and perform better than this version.
Quality looks good, and the video is good. I like the skidding about, which is hard to achieve in a 993. Maybe they took a load of weight out of the original.
