Singer v Porsche USA

Anyone know what it’s about? I did some Googling, only found details from a while ago on that Dakar style thing Singer did because they put the actual Porsche name on it. I assume this is something new?

I was very fortunate to have dinner with Rob and some of his team in Syd a few weeks ago. Having been to Tuttle and seeing the AC I asked if the relationship with Porsche was improving based on media that you could have your singer motor assembled by Porsche Motorsport, and would the AC project now get off the ground. There was an awkward silence, rob said they are no longer working with Porsche and only ended up doing a couple of engines with them in the classic program. 
looks like the relationship will now be managed through lawyers which is a big pity

I wonder if it is that Singer is putting their name on a Porsche, which is a breach of copyright, as I see it, unlike RUF who bought Porsche shells to manufacture their cars under agreement or licence.

I’m no legal eagle and this could be complete rubbish.

Porsche needs to get over it. Singer has only enhanced the brand perception for older cars. If they are successful in this case, then there goes Gunterworks, Rennsport, Tutthill, etc, etc....

RUF have their own Vin.

 Porsche SHOULD sue that mob Tedson for crimes against motoring. Their new 'creation' called the Daydream R which is an air cooled hybrid 🙄

They probably just pushed it too far with the ACS, not helped by the Porsche script all over it.

The cynic in me just sees this as yet another VW group cash grab to force the restomod companies to pay licensing fees.
