Pop-up headlights. That’s what it basically comes down to here. All Singers are impossibly exquisite dream cars. And every time you think it has definitely run out of original ways to reimagine the 911, the Singer team comes up with another historically sympathetic variant that’s even more perfectly stanced.

But this one will be remembered for the electronic whack a mole lights. The original 1980s 911 didn’t have them. And there’s no bootspace any more.

I naively thought this was a replacement for the Singer ‘Classic’, a new entry point... but no, it actually sits somewhere between the Turbo and the DLS – with prices starting from around £1.3m, before slathering options on top of that.

I’m stunned, shocked and deeply jealous that I’m £1.29m short.
