If anyone has the chance to get up and close to a Singer DLS do it, and dont just glance at it ... look closely and you will be stunned at the detail.

My good friend Jimmy, the GM of PFAFF Reserve, and now the GM of PFAFF Porsche commissioned this car over 7 years ago, and what's insane is the fact that he / PFAFF laid down a decent (refundable) deposit for a car 'sight unseen' fully expecting that he would back out, but he said what the hell ... Cost $2 Million. Move ahead 2 years Jimmy see's a DLS in person and is completely blown away and now commits to the entire build.

Fast forward another 5 years and the car is complete ... before it even lands in Toronto, the car is sold ... amount unknown, but what I can tell you is this.
They are ONLY making about 75 or so DLS's, (no more) and on the open market one just sold for over $4,000,000.00

So I now ask myself the question ... If I had the $$ to buy one, would I ??
Absofu%^^$#lutly ... This is a drivers halo car, there is nothing out there that looks like it, drives like it or sounds like it.

As I get older and I see so many cool, fast supercars at all these events I feel like I am numb to it all. Ya, there goes another Aventador, or another GT3 RS etc... But when you come face to face with a car like this it's like taking you back to your childhood and the 1st time you saw 'that car'... Its simply mesmerizing
