  • Overhyped? Singer Vehicle design seems to be universally praised for its restored 911s. Henry Catchpole investigates whether that praise is earned. There's no better place to find out than in Singer's home turf: The Golden State
    Singer Vehicle Design are a bespoke Porsche restoration company who follow this simple mantra: "Everything is important". This is their approach to every part of the restoration process. This has lead to their cars becoming moving works of art and revered by many as one of the best restomod companies.

    Okay, this seals it: Carfection is the best car channel out there. Enough technical detail to make it genuinely informative, Henry's nuanced and beautifully written (and extemporaneous) commentary, and the best cinematography/photography in the game. Having primo access to the best vehicles on earth doesn't hurt, either.

Yet somehow it did, and entirely predictably, it's perfect. Bravo gents. The journalism is as good as it gets. The film making and editing is breath taking.
