Singer cars - a forgotten British car manufacturer? Ft. Gazelle, SM1500, Le Mans & more

Vintage and classic Singer cars, in ancient b&w photos and also in more recent colour shots at car shows, form this compilation here on the Old Classic Car channel. The Singer marque spent its latter years - 1956-onwards - buried within the mighty Rootes Group empire. For many years prior to WW2 the independent Singer Motor Company enjoyed sales figures comparable to the likes of Austin and Morris and were a very common sight, and this continued right through into the 1950s and 1960s. Cars such as the Gazelle and the Chamois were based on lower-spec'd contemporary Hillmans, ie the Minx and the Imp respectively - badge-engineering wasn't therefore just a BMC speciality - while the Vogue's underpinnings were those of the Hillman Super Minx. Singers were positioned comfortably above the Hillman offerings within Rootes Group dealerships, and were priced accordingly. In this compilation I've dragged together a broad variety of pre- and post-war Singers, inevitably not every model ever made has made it in, but nevertheless this should give a reasonable overall view of the cars typically produced by this manufacturer over the decades before they disappeared for good as new car offerings in 1970. The surviving examples of these classic British cars are a comparatively rare sight now. Here you'll find pre-war models such as the sporting Singer 9 Le Mans, plus the Singer 9 saloon & coupe, the vintage Singer Junior saloon & coupe, and more. Post-war Singers include the SM1500, Hunter, Gazelle, Chamois, Vogue & Roadster. Over 95 photographs in all were pulled together for this upload. Our family's car history includes a pair of pre-war Singers, namely an open-top Singer 9 Sports, and a stylish Singer 9 Coupe, both from the 1930s.
