1913 Singer

This car took part in a 4-Lap Handicap Race for Edwardian Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in August 1992.

It's the 1913 Singer 10 of  Barry Clarke that was driven in the race by Mrs J Tomlinson. A note in the programme of the event says:

'Jane Tomlinson drives Barry Clarke's little 1913 10hp Singer of the type, which in racing form, was persuaded to lap Brooklands at 73.56 mph in 1914. Lionel Martin, who later formed Aston Martin, "won the glorious scrap for cycle-cars, motor-bicycles and light cars", to quote Bill Boddy's tome The Brooklands Motor Course. Martin was racing his modified Singer 10 at the postponed Inter-Varsity meeting at Brooklands.'

1923 Singer 10

This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1987, and is pictured here in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester before the start of the Run.

It's the 1923 Singer 10 of Clive Cooper and has a 1,097cc 4-cylinder inline sidevalve engine, and a note in the programme of the event said this about the car:

32      1923 Singer

           Reg: ND 1891  4 cylinder 9.7 hp

           (Clive T. Cooper, Cheadle Hulme)

This Manchester registered car would appear to

have remained in the area all its life. A product

of the takeover by Singer of the Coventry

Premier Motor Co., it represented an entry into

the popular market, being a less costly version

of the Edwardian 10 hp model. The engine is

overhead valve, actuated by exposed push-

rods. It runs on beaded-edge tyres and has rear

brakes only.

There's a Singer Owners' Club for owners of the car and for Singer enthusiasts.
