1935 Singer 9 "Le Mans" 2 seater
Listed For Sale at Pedigree Automobiles
(Example advertisement of a Package 2 advert)
Asking Price £12,950 Sterling
Presented for your consideration is this popular sports car of the 1930s, re-imported back into the United Kingdom in 1988 and subject to
ongoing improvement ever since
Model type history.
The Singer Nine was first introduced in 1932, as successor to the Singer Junior. Initially two models were offered, the Junior Special and the open top
Junior Sports, although both were just 9hp models. Developments were made to the model range continually over the following few years, with variations
in carburettor configuration and gearbox refinement being introduced throughout the 1930s to the Singer Nine, including the option for pre-selection
of gears. In 1933 the Nine Coupe (fixed head) was offered, to be followed by open top Sports Four Seater. After success in the 1933 Le Mans with
a Nine Sports Four Seater, Singer decided to introduce their Le Mans 2 seater at the 1933 Motor Show. This new model from Singer featured a similar
chassis but had a tuned, alloy sumped, engine. Unlike contemporary MGs, with which the Le Mans was a direct competitor, the Singer offering
featured twin spare wheels mounted at the rear of the coachwork. The Singer was always a less common sight on the roads of thirties Britain than
similar types of motorcar from Abingdon, and this has ensured a loyal and devout following with sporting enthusiasts to this day, with many
example still used in competition within post-vintage thoroughbred circles.
History of this Singer Le Mans.
This example is still campaigned in road events, and as such features sympathetic modifications and extras to this end. Despite being a post-1930
vehicle is it eligible for VSCC events. Expenditure since repatriation currently stands at £12,000 sterling, with documentary evidence to support this.
The car sports its original registration number, matching the old and new log books that accompany this motorcar. MOTs since the early 1960s are
included in the extensive history file, and receipts of expenditure covering the last 43 years still survive with this Le Mans Singer 9hp.
Coachwork.
The frame was stripped and inspected in 1991 with replacement made to some of the ash chassis frame members. The bodywork itself is largely
original, with only the rear wings having been replaced approximately 20 years ago as a result of poor storage during the 1970s. On import
back to the United Kingdom the chromework was removed and replated where necessary, and shows no sign of deterioration even under the
closest inspection. The spoked wheels were removed in 1996 and re-spoked by GTJ Wheels, before being fitted with fresh rim tapes, tubes and
tyres, to the correct pattern. Both spare roadwheels were similarly treated.
Interior.
The interior is largely original, the speedometer and tachometer enjoying a thorough refurbishment during the spring of 2001. Carpets to a later
pattern have recently been added to provide some extra comfort to the driver and passenger, and the seats were rebuilt at the same time. A
comprehensive history file, containing receipts and dates of work done, is included with this motorcar.
Mechanics.
A full mechanical overhaul was undertaken during 2000, with the engine receiving a thorough stripdown and inspection. This car now features
a reground & balanced crankshaft, with new bearings, pistons and valve train being installed at the same time. The clutch was relined at the same
time, and fresh engine mountings and transmission joints installed. A recent compression test indicates that this engine is in fine tune and condition.
