Re: Stone Guards....

Thanks a lot for the helpful advice and photos. I suspected that this would be a tricky job but fortunately I have access to a very cleaver chap who does magic things with aluminium! My car is not a genuine Le Mans rather it is a hand made Singer 9 Sports. The rear guards are a quite different shape...

Stone Guards....

I have a question re the alloy stone guards attached to the rear mudguards of the earlier Le Mans cars. My car is a replica and does not have the stone guards fitted. I want to make some but I can't figure out how they were originally fitted. Can anyone help me with info and/or photographs... Thanks...

Re: Singer (9) Engine identification?

Thanks for this....

Looks like a very nice engine. I am particularly interested in the manifold. I have been looking for pictures of the HRG twin carb setup for the 1074cc 9hp engine but without success. This will give me something to contemplate!

Cheers

Singer 1.5 Sports in NZ

Recently mentioned a 1935 1.5 litre sports for sale in new Zealand. I have managed to locate some photos of the car on the NZ Classic Car web site. Strangely, I think the car may have just been sold as it has been removed from the site in the last few hours. Just as well I saved the pix for my own l...
