Expedition ready slide-on camper. It’s like roughing it…if your idea of roughing it is having a Hilton on wheels.

I was a mere child when I first spotted this other-worldly Porsche Carrera. I think this car originally sold for 25K back in 1973 – an unheard of price to pay for a car at the time. At least in my little dusty town.

The first Adi shoes to be made in Germany in fifty years. I had this romantic illusion that all adidas sneakers were still made in Germany by elves with tiny fingers. (Tiny Fingers…also my imaginary band name).

Singer Vehicle Design :: Porsches Reborn & Reimagined

“Our first study was an attempt to present a restored and optimized, classic air-cooled Porsche 911 – in our view the most important sports car on the planet and worthy of such celebration both for its iconic status and the genius of the company that produced it.”
– rob dickinson :: creative director

About Rob Dickinson:
Studied Industrial Design at Coventry University, went on to work in design studio at Lotus under Peter Stevens, formed the band Catherine Wheel as singer/songwriter, fascination with cars and car design never undiminished.

What was the inspiration for starting Singer Vehicles Design?
As the vessel to launch our ‘restored, re imagined, reborn’ philosophy – the idea that an iconic automobile can be restored and enhanced with modern technology in a wholly positive way that respects the original while making it relevant for modern times and a new audience that never got to experience that original.

I’m guessing you’re wanting a Singer restored vehicle to be driven, and driven hard.
Our work is executed to very high standards with cost no object content – the result is a car built like a Swiss timepiece with levels of performance, functionality and reliability akin to a modern Porsche.
