Singer and MG were great rivals during the 1930s competing against each other on race circuits, trials stages and showrooms alike. Vying for sales with the MG T-Series, the Singer Roadster retained what was essentially the same two-door, swept tail silhouette throughout its sixteen year history (1939-1955) albeit with various stylistic tweaks along the way. The Singer Nine Roadster was a variant of the Bantam Singer Nine. After some years Singer cautiously returned to the sports tourer but not the sports car market. The open four-seater Nine Roadster appeared on the 6th March 1939 with a lightly tuned version of the larger 1074 cc overhead camshaft engine already seen in the Bantam Nine plus its three-speed gearbox. in 1949, the "4A" model of the Singer Nine emerged onto the market. The main change was the introduction of a four-speed gearbox, which added driveability and performance across a wider range of speed, along with redesigned gear knob position and some minor changes to the seating position.
