Singer 10 hp

This is a photograph taken on the Exchange Station car park before the start of the Manchester to Blackpool Veteran & Vintage Car Run organised by the Lancashire Automobile Club in June 1986.

It's a 1923 Singer 10 hp and the programme of the event had this to say about the car:

26      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.
