This Particular Singer 9 Roadster appears to have had a very sheltered existence having only had 5 owners and amassed just 75, 961 miles during its current 67-year lifespan and still shows in beautiful condition today.
This particular car was featured on the Singer stand at the NEC classic car exhibition in November 2019 where it attracted many admirers.
