A Singer Classic Study Porsche 911 Hits the Auction Block

Known as the "Black Watch Commission"

Singer has definitely earned its place as perhaps the most respected name in the restoration and reimagining of Porsche 911s from 1989 to 1994, all based on the 964-generation chassis and tailored to the exacting standards of its elite clientele.

Offered through RM Sotheby’s upcoming Sealed Drop auction is a standout example—potentially one of the final Classic Study builds from Singer. Known as the Black Watch Commission, this one-of-a-kind creation remains in as-new condition, having accrued only delivery mileage since its completion in January.

It features Singer’s sought-after 4.0-litre flat-six engine, titanium exhaust, five-speed manual gearbox, Öhlins adjustable suspension, carbon fibre roof, and carbon ceramic brakes. While constructed to UK specifications in left-hand drive, it is currently in Southern California and eligible for registration worldwide.

Finished in Oak Green Metallic—a period-correct Porsche color selected at a premium—nickel-coated Fuchs-style wheels and full paint protection complement the exterior. Inside, the Black Watch tartan trim inspired the commission’s name, paired with Espresso leather, Oak Green seat backs, and blue-accented stitching. It also comes with the optional early 911 gauge set and Porsche Classic Navigation with Apple CarPlay. Unique touches include 24-carat gold badging, stock-style door panels, black mesh decklid grill, and USB-C integration.
