This Singer Junior is a charming and unusual alternative to the ubiquitous Austin Seven. With its 848cc OHC engine and four-wheel rod-operated brakes, it will convey four adults at the heady pace of 45 mph.
First registered in 1928 in Middlesex, according to a tax disc, little is known of this car's history until the 1950s when it resided with various keepers in Hertfordshire, Essex and Wales before moving to the West country and Derbyshire and then Yorkshire, all recorded in the car's history, included in the original log book. There is a large history file available for inspection, including past tax discs, MOT certificates etc, and records of work done on the car. This work has included a magneto overhaul; re-lining of the brakes; two new bearings fitted to the gearbox; changing of the crown wheel and pinion and repairs to the exhaust/inlet manifold.
The files also contains considerable information about Singer engines and photocopies of information from Singer Junior handbook. It was last used on the road in 2019, before the owner passed away and has been carefully stored since then. We have run and driven the Singer for photographs recently where it ran very well indeed. However careful recommissioning is recommended prior to seeing active use once more. It has been shown twice at Singer National Rallies, winning awards both times: 2012: Best Vintage Car and in 2017, Best in Class. A charming light car perfect for VSCC events.
