Description
The Singer Junior was introduced at the Motor Show in 1926. Possibly as many as 35-40, 000 were produced over a production span lasting until 1932. The car was improved and developed almost beyond recognition over that period and it was the popularity of the Junior that briefly enabled Singer to become the UK’s number three in production terms behind Morris and Austin. Its importance is also underlined by the fact that the power unit was the progenitor of virtually all Singer engines up to 1955, including the very successful sporting 9hp and 1½ Litre models which gave MGs such a run for their money throughout the 1930s.
: Main changes for the 1930 Model (showcased at the 1929 Motor Show)
Replacement of the magneto with coil and distributor
Alterations to the hand throttle and advance/ retard controls
Wire wheels replaced the earlier disc versions, having previously been standard on the Porlock and the Sportsman’s Coupe and an option on the other body types. The wheels have been restored and powder coated in the original Black and were shod with brand new period correct tyres.
Headlamps, of increased diameter, were now sited on and above a more substantial front wing cross-tie of ‘U’ section tube
Our example of the mush desired Open top tourer is exceptional , having undergone a down to bare chassis restoration approx 25 years ago. With photos in a file of the complete strip down and rebuild of everything. Some upgrades were made for modern motoring. For example indictors with dash switch , electric fuel pump , electric windscreen wiper on the drivers side, easy access battery enclosed on the running boards, full stainless exhaust system , etc. Some lovely original pieces too including the brass fuel measuring dipstick held on the firewall in the engine bay. The wicker picnic basket on the rear is included and houses an original jack and hand pump as well as some original wiring diagrams.. Also in the history file is original owners manuals. The bodywork and paintwork are superb especially for a vintage vehicle . The red dividing stripe is hand painted . All 4 doors open and shut with ease. The interior is as new with all original gauges etc. This car was part of a large collection that we bought all of. Previous owner maintained and showed all his cars and treated them as a true enthusiast . He is no longer with us but we must nod to his dedication , time and effort to produce such high quality vintage vehicles. We have driven and tested this beautiful tourer and can confirm it performs as it should. This is almost 100 years old , amazing !!!
