Singer Factory Tour: How The Most Beautiful Porsches In The World Are Restored | Top Gear

Singer has come a long way since its founder Rob Dickinson started turning Porsche 964s into four-wheeled jewellery 12 years ago. But with overwhelming demand from people who want a brand new, old 911 (the waiting list for a car is now four years) itā€™s outgrown its premises. Which means Singer needs a bigger one. Which it now has: a mega new facility in Torrance, California to hold all of its operations under one roof. And what a place it is. So please slacken your jaw and allow Top Gear Magazineā€™s Ollie Marriage and Singer Vehicle Designā€™s CEO Mazen Fawaz to be your guide.

It's so weird, I remember Chris Harris visiting Singer 9 years ago when they had a small "garage-like" shop and a tiny office. Amazing progress in a decade!

Singer is a shining light for American automotive production. They are truly on another level.

What I find interesting is Rob knows how valuable each team member is. He could easily say "they are this good because of MY process and procedure" but he doesn't. He proudly says "They are true craftsman's and they are always improving." Rob built a roster of truly passionate Porsche builders. He is able to do all that because he lets the employees do what they are good at.

I truly believe they make the best looking new/ retro cars. I would be afraid to drive those. Works of art.

I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Rob Dickinson several years back, in Colorado Springs. Rob is as genuine and friendly as his cars are magnificent. It is apparent Mr. Fawaz is also living his dream. I cannot imagine a more magical company than Singer. I only wish I would have ordered one back when they were "affordable!" Great video, Ollie!

Nothing better, they bring tears to my eyes. Absolutely stunning in every way, they deserve all the plaudits and success. I hope every customer respects and fully appreciates their purchase from these craftsmen. ā¤ā¤

What impresses me the most is all of the spectacular colors they have. That red, almost fire engine, and that blue at 5:37... wow thatā€™s gorgeous. Kudos to Singer for their absolute dedication to keeping these older Porscheā€™s on the road. The cool part is the future buyers donā€™t care what the price is, there no haggling when you go the point where youā€™re weaving leather seats.

3:50 "Bushings, bearings, fasteners..." PRECISELY timed with three hammer strokes (or staple gun, something like that) in the background. Exactly synchronized! Anyone catch that? Have to say though, I'm impressed with Mazen Fawaz. He's clearly intelligent, very knowledgeable and refreshingly direct and honest as he gave the tour. I'm also impressed with the straight to the point approach by the presenter and by Top Gear. No fluff, packed with information, great editing, enthusiastic presenter. Well done!

The sheer amount of beautiful Porsche's is just stunning. I'm absolutely gobsmacked. This is Porsche 911 heaven. I have a uncle in Santa Barbra California with a 70's 911 targa. I got to ride in it back in the 80's. It's so great to see the customers ordering cars in bold beautiful colors. There's way too many black, white and gray/silver cars out these days. I hope to be able to get a Singer targa some day. I was hoping to see Rob Dickenson the founder of Singer being interviewed. I've seen a few videos of the Singer workshop over the years, but this is the first time I've seen this new factory. This kind of reminds me of RUF. Only RUF has there own chassis and components. Thank you.

I remember years ago - prior even to the Harris/Singer video - seeing a video of Mazen driving his young son around in a 911. The young boy counts down from 3, if I recall; Mazen takes off; kid giggles (adorably) at the experience. It was the first time I ever wanted a 911 for the explicit purpose of sharing the experience with my children. Fantastic video here. Could not be more happy for the Singer guys.

So happy to see Singer thriving after all these years. Classic Porsches are beautiful cars and so to see them given a refresh, upgrade, and a second lease on life is awesome.

It just makes so much sense what these people do. It's so much gratitude to the original, and their own additions simply enhance it in my mind.

My 3 year old daughter and I were watching this video and I asked her if she liked the cars she was seeing. She said yes. I asked if one day sheā€™ll bring papa on a ride in one of these cars. She said yes. Then she asked ā€œpapa, is this Santaā€™s workshop?ā€

Little known fact, Bob Rothstein dreamed of being an opera singer like his childhood friend's mother. Fortunately for car enthusiasts, his talent was in design and engineering. His vocal talents were poor, to be kind, but he legally changed his name to Singer in a tribute to the woman and dream that was such an inspiration. His reimagined Porsche builds truly DO sing! šŸ™Œ
