Virtually everything about Singer Vehicle design seems whirlwind, not the least of which are its incredibly potent, exclusive and lustworthy Porsche 911-based builds. Given that, it’s hard to believe it’s been a year since the firm first launched their effective autobiography One More than 10.

“One More Than 10: Singer and the Porsche 911”

That first edition was also a limited one, and the popularity of Singer and its products means the first edition sold out. Just in time for the 2016 holiday season, Singer has elected to run a second edition round of printing. That’s great news for Porsche enthusiasts and car fans in general.

LOS ANGELES – October 25, 2016 – Porsche aficionados looking to achieve their own air of exclusivity, albeit on a smaller budget, will be excited to learn that a second printing of Singer Vehicle Design’s original One More than 10: Singer and the Porsche 911 table top book is now available, in plenty of time for the upcoming holiday season.  A limited run of 1,250 additional hard cover copies will be available for purchase through the company’s website www.singervehicledesign.com, publishing house Stance & Speed www.stanceandspeed.com and newly added, on Amazon.com.

Publisher Peter Bodensteiner and his publishing house Stance & Speed, were Gold Medal recipients for the 2015 International Automotive Media Registry awards for the Singer book and noted that the response to the book from enthusiasts has been nothing short of overwhelming. “One More than 10 takes Singer fans on an amazing insider’s journey as told by creator Rob Dickinson, whose personal obsession is the central motivating force behind these remarkable cars,” Bodensteiner said. “Singer’s reimagined 911s are few in number, and an opportunity to visit Singer’s facility is rare too–this book offers a wonderful glimpse into the craftsmanship and passion at work behind Singer’s walls.”

The background story of the impeccable artistry within Rob Dickinson’s “re”imagination of Porsche 911s has become a tale of global interest, driven by the former musician’s singular vision to celebrate the iconic 911.  As an ex-car designer who then became a rock musician, Dickinson now stands as one of the world’s foremost distillers of the essence of air cooled Porsches.  Journalist Michael Harley and Dickinson tell the story, while an all-star cast of automotive writers, journalists and personalities offer their perspectives on the Singer phenomenon.

Throughout the book some of the finest photographers in the automotive world, with unparalleled access to Singer’s operations, reveal the sublime beauty of these Porsche 911s as they are restored, and as they play at the track and run the open road.

As the world continues to take notice of a little restoration shop in Southern California that has provided a re-birth of sorts to old and tired Porsche 964s, many have come to believe the ability to enter the inner circle of Singer Vehicle Design was well beyond reach. However One More than 10 provides the essence of authenticity so coveted by the brand and its followers, allowing entry into an arena too few are able to see.

Finessed and agonized over just like the cars, this large format, hardback, 275 page, full color, Singer Vehicle Design book tells the full story behind Restored, Reimagined, Reborn for the first time and is priced at $85.  For more information and photography view http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7686051-singer-vehicle-design-porsche-911-book/

The global recognition for California-based Singer Vehicle Design (SVD) and Singer’s exquisite ability to ‘blend tradition with modernity’ has opened the door for a new breed of Porsche fanatics that not only understand Dickinson’s thirst for demonstrating what has become regarded as the best of the best – but also seek the craftsmanship and creativity that showcases unique customization opportunities that selects the best elements, if one could only have just one vehicle to drive.

“This book has the spirit of Singer Vehicle Design tailored into its words, images and feel,” said Dickinson.  “It’s us, in print and I’m incredibly excited to share this latest project, shaped by our mantra ‘Everything is Important’”.

Dickinson contends that the company’s heritage is based on utilizing the ultimate in automotive design, engineering and industry standards to meet and exceed the vision of its fine clientele.  Dickinson noted that the company has been fortunate enough to develop a reputation that Singer stands for something very special, and One More than 10: Singer and the Porsche 911 brings the reader as close to these beautiful machines as one can get, with the exception of the lucky few owning one.

Singer’s philosophy – creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces to each customer’s desires within perfectly optimized air-cooled Porsche 911s – continues to move forward with each new bespoke restoration. With limited availability and an 8-10-month restoration cycle, vehicles have more recently been commissioned by Porsche owners in Hong Kong, Moscow, Canada, England, Germany, New Zealand, Norway and the UK.
