The Story

Representing one of the final Classic Study restorations completed by Singer, this bespoke creation known as “The Michigan Commission” blends air-cooled heritage with modern engineering at the highest level. With close to $300,000 in factory options and showing just 386 miles at the time of writing, it’s being offered by its original commissioning owner in virtually as-delivered condition—an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of the last and most comprehensively specified Classic Studies ever produced.

Every Singer begins as a steel unibody 964-generation 911, stripped to bare metal and reinforced before being fitted with lightweight carbon fiber bodywork. This example is finished in striking Resistance Blue, accented by subtle ghosted stripes and contrasting orange Porsche side script, a combination that perfectly captures the balance between elegance and motorsport intent. The iconic long-hood profile, center-exit exhaust, and meticulously detailed brightwork reflect Singer’s obsessive approach to craftsmanship and proportion.

The cabin is a master class in bespoke design. Upholstered in rich Cognac leather with contrasting Alabaster stitching, the interior exudes warmth and refinement while retaining a purposeful sporting character. Every surface—from the dash to the seat bolsters—has been hand-finished to Singer’s exacting standards, combining classic Porsche cues with contemporary materials and ergonomics.

Mechanically, “The Michigan Commission” is specified with Singer’s coveted 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-6, delivering thrilling performance, razor-sharp throttle response, and an unmistakable air-cooled soundtrack. The engine is enhanced by the visually stunning and performance-focused velocity stack intake system, paired with the optional 6-speed manual gearbox for precise driver engagement. Handling is elevated through Ohlins adjustable suspension, while immense stopping power is provided by Brembo carbon ceramic brakes—a rare and highly desirable specification within the Classic Study program.

Further performance and functional upgrades include a hood center-fill fuel tank, a motorsport-inspired detail that underscores the car’s competition-bred character. Notably, the entire car received full paint protection film application by Singer prior to delivery, preserving its flawless finish from day one.

With such low mileage, singular ownership, and a specification nearing the pinnacle of what was available through the Classic Study program, this 1990 Singer 911 represents far more than a restored Porsche—it is a coachbuilt interpretation of the ultimate air-cooled 911. It presents a rare chance to secure one of the final Classic Studies in virtually as-new condition, finished in a distinctive and highly curated color combination that ensures it stands apart in any world-class collection.
