This car took part in a 4-Lap Handicap Race for Edwardian Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in August 1992.
It's the 1913 Singer 10 of Barry Clarke that was driven in the race by Mrs J Tomlinson. A note in the programme of the event says:
'Jane Tomlinson drives Barry Clarke's little 1913 10hp Singer of the type, which in racing form, was persuaded to lap Brooklands at 73.56 mph in 1914. Lionel Martin, who later formed Aston Martin, "won the glorious scrap for cycle-cars, motor-bicycles and light cars", to quote Bill Boddy's tome The Brooklands Motor Course. Martin was racing his modified Singer 10 at the postponed Inter-Varsity meeting at Brooklands.'
