This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1987, and is pictured here in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester before the start of the Run.
It's the 1923 Singer 10 of Clive Cooper and has a 1,097cc 4-cylinder inline sidevalve engine, and a note in the programme of the event said this about the car:
32 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.
There's a Singer Owners' Club for owners of the car and for Singer enthusiasts.
im wonder where this car is now. A friend of mines cousin owned this car approx 1955 from stockport, my friend would be delighted to gain some information on this car, as it has sentimental reasons for the lady in question. She lives in stockport, and is curious as to its whereabouts
