For young enthusiasts discovering classic cars, Singer Motors offers a story full of surprising turns. A Coventry bicycle business founded in 1874 became a producer of motorcycles, tricycles and cars, with the Singer Ten among its notable successes. After the war, models including the SM1500, Hunter and Chamois carried the name into a new era, followed by its final years under Rootes ownership. This youth hoodie celebrates a marque with a lasting place in Britain's automotive story.
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.
