Web Forum for Singer Cars

Well lubricated friends are a wonderful asset

Nice to find the radiator badge; if it was mine, I would just clean it and touch in the missing enamel with black cellulose and a rigger brush.

Rather than trying to turn the engine on the handle, put it in first gear and try rocking the car back and forth.

Is your car a 1933 or a 1934?

The 1933 cushion sat directly onto the floor, whilst the 1934 car had a higher scuttle and so the cushion sat in the seat frame.

I think they are both attractive in their own way; a bit like comparing a pretty girl with a smart young lady

I have caught up with the (new) owner of the 1933 Sports Nine I spotted back in July, and we met yesterday at a VSCC lunchtime meeting - here it is with my Chamois: https://s20.postimg.org/ys7u39oel/P1060672.jpg ... and next to a 1934 Riley Nine Lynx: https://s20.postimg.org/sfsotflcd/P1060668.jpg

Continuing the Singer/Riley theme, yesterday I was able to make an interesting comparison between a 1933 Sports Nine and a Riley Lynx:



I was surprised just how small the Singer was in comparison:

The Lincock was a 2+2 seater coupe available on both the Nine and 12/6 chassis. It was only produced in 1933 and 1934; the roof flaps were an optional extra, not all Lincocks have them. This was my brother's Lincock Nine which he owned for well over forty years, before he too began to find the steer...

Harold Hastings was an Autocar journalist - he may have been their Midlands Editor,I'm not sure; 'Rivers' is A F Rivers-Fletcher (1912-1999), racing driver, journalist and historian.

A 1933 Sports Nine spotted yesterday climbing the Snake Pass in Derbyshire:

If you were looking at the three rear-ends, they were, in fact, 2-litres, not 1½s! They were very, very nice

Yesterday was the Singer Owners' Club National Rally at Arley Hall in Cheshire; here's a selection of pics for your interest: http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q136/vernonderby/IMG_0723.800_zpsdpd0enbw.jpg http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q136/vernonderby/IMG_0724_zpsse7tkbcb.jpg http://i135.phot...

It might be worth contacting these people to see if they would take the project on; as you say, there are more than just Singer owners as potential customers:
