Keep Singer Motors history in view with a small keepsake for the home or collection. The company's story began in Coventry in 1874 as a bicycle maker, then expanded into motor vehicles in 1901. Singer went on to produce motorcycles, tricycles and cars, from the successful Ten to postwar models and the later Chamois. Its changing fortunes mirrored wider shifts in British motoring, including the move into the Rootes Group. A thoughtful choice for collectors and fans of historic automotive names.
George Singer began making bicycles in Coventry, England, in 1874, founding Singer & Co with his brother-in-law J. E. Stringer. The business added motor vehicles in 1901, first using a compact engine built into a wheel, then producing motorcycles, tricycles and cars. Its 1912 Singer Ten, a sturdy four-cylinder economy car, became a major seller. After Singer’s death, the company expanded its car range and grew into one of Britain’s leading manufacturers in the 1920s. Financial strain and declining sales led to Singer & Co Limited being dissolved in December 1936; its business passed to the newly formed Singer Motors Limited. After the Second World War, models included the Roadster, Ten, Twelve and 1948 SM1500, later renamed the Hunter. The business was in financial difficulty by 1955, and the Rootes Group acquired it in 1956. Singer cars then shared engineering and platforms with Rootes models: the Gazelle was based on the Hillman Minx, while the Vogue drew on the Hillman Super Minx. The final Singer, the Chamois, left the assembly line in April 1970, ending a vehicle-making story that had begun nearly a century earlier.
