faced tough competition from BMW's 850i and the then-new R129 Mercedes-Benz SL. And although Porsche insisted 85 percent of the 964 was all-new, it looked little different from the previous model.
. This, combined with the fact that nice examples could still be found in relatively plentiful numbers, made them the perfect donor cars for Singer to work its magic.
As with all Theon Design cars, the project began with Hawley asking two questions: Where will the car be driven? And how will it be driven?"For BEL001, the customer wanted a highly usable, modernized, air-cooled 911," he says."One that combined classic Porsche driving dynamics with real grand touring ability." That meant a Theon-created Porsche 911 with a comfortable, luxuriously trimmed interior and suspension that can handle a variety of road conditions.
The car's gold-hued 17-inch Fiske forged aluminum wheels recall the classic Fuchs"windmill" design used on 911s in the 1960s and '70s, but the 225/45 front and 275/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires mean the overall rolling diameter is the same as the tires on the 964's 16-inch rims, and the difference between the front and rear contact patches is proportionally similar."We haven't tried to reinvent the 964," Hawley says.
