By the late 1920s Coventry-based Singer had become the UK's third largest motor manufacturer and during the succeeding decade produced some notable sporting models such as the Le Mans. Its post-war offerings were somewhat lacklustre though, and by the early 1950s weakening demand for Singer's passenger cars encouraged the firm to diversify. In April 1953 the rights to the OTA Monarch tractor were acquired from Oak Tree Appliances. Renamed 'Singer Monarch' this four-wheeled light tractor was powered by a Ford E93A industrial engine and was claimed by its makers to be 'ideal for small and medium acreages and for the farmer that wants an extra tractor for all but the heaviest work.' When Singer fell prey to the Rootes Group in December 1955 the remaining Monarchs were sold off to Australia.
