Re: 1937 nine sports restoration

Thank you so much for your comments. I am still cautiously driving it not too far from home. Making my weekly drive to the waste sorting more fun !
I plan to participate to a prewar car event end of september in Provence, that will be more adventurous.

Re: A Singer on the 2019 Mille Miglia!

Nice find. I thought that elligible cars for the Mille Miglia yearly retrospective were cars of the model that actually took part of the race between 1927 and 1957. As far as i know, no Singer ever paricipated. Beautiful and unique event though, i attended to the departure in Brescia a few years ago...
