TrevMcRev Posted 3January, 2017 Report Share Posted 3January, 2017 Thinking of a "Singeresque 928"...looking at the exterior it's really quite hard to see what you'd actually change for the better! Find the "perfect" wheel & fitment, whatever that is, then what? They beg for an amazing quality retrim though. If you trimmed one at Singer levels of style & quality it would be a magic car just at that!Damn you @tazzieman ! I know I will get one sooner or later...

Pulling it all apart for a glass out repaint and rewire will vacuum up those loose $1,000 bills.Or just find the best GTS you can and it will be 1/10 the Singerprice Toys price.

Peter M Posted 8January, 2017 Report Share Posted 8January, 2017 Spot on, @GUT. Is this the same car being advertised at CTS at the moment but for an extra $10k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MezgerMan Posted 8January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 8January, 2017 @Peter M, almost certainly the same car. The mileage matches and the car disappeared off carsales only to reappear at CTS a short while later. It was originally advertised on carsales for $69K. The vendor later dropped the price to that shown above. Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that do you mean the first series (4.5 litre) or the first S series (4.7) which I suppose could be an "S1"?I feel like writing too, to straighten out his BS.....

ANF Posted 12January, 2017 Report Share Posted 12January, 2017 S1 = First series car... kinda confusing acronym isn't it! You should write to him and sort him out. You know that is also the slowest one Yeah but he is not the only one.... just hope no-one buys one of these import cars and pays way over what the local ones are based on this bogus advice! 85 was the only model "detuned" for aussie shores. Previous ones had the advance disconnected to stop pre-detonation (pinging) high up in the rev range, motors are the same otherwise and you can re-connect if you like. 82 model had 300 hp and a top speed of 245 km/h. If his previous aussie example was down on power then he should have fixed it!Pre S models can be a bit Spartan versus the S and will feel a bit slower, but it is unfair to compare the 2 like that.
