The Background
The original Singer Vogue was a badge engineered (rebadged) version of the Hillman Super Minx. Introduced in July 1961, it was positioned above the Super Minx and Singer Gazelle in the Rootes Group range and had quadruple headlights as well as a more powerful 66 bhp version of the 1,592 cc Minx engine.
For the Series II version, which came out in 1963, front disc brakes were added as standard, there were also changes to the interior; removal of the chrome bonnet strip and a change to amber front indicator lenses. The Series III built upon these features and gained an increase in power to 84 bhp.
It's always nice to see a car that has been cherished by its previous owners and that has the documentation to back it up. This car really has been loved by all 5 of its previous owners and no expense has been spared in caring for it, servicing it and restoring it when required. All of which has been meticulously documented, please see the paperwork section for more details.
Most notably the car had a full engine and body restoration in 2010. A bare metal respray and engine out rebuild saw the car shave off years by being restored to better than new, a condition that it still wears very well today as you will see from the pictures.
The history presented with this car is quite frankly, staggering. There is far too much to list. Every single nut, bolt, seal, wiper blade, oil change in its 55 years has been documented by all 5 of its previous owners. It’s meticulous. Present in the folder of paperwork are handwritten lists for all items changed, added or restored for every year of its life and then all of the necessary receipts to back this up. There are also lots of photos from over the years of the work carried out, sometimes even photos of step by step progress of particular work like the full restoration the car received in 2010. You could spend hours upon hours reading through the vast history file but one thing that is clear about this vehicle from this paperwork, is that it has been very well looked after its entire existence.
A small selection of the paperwork has been pictured here just to give you an idea, there is far too much to feature.
The interior of this vehicle is stunning, having been restored in 2010, when the car had its full restoration. Red leather seats, wooden dash inserts and that big thin steering wheel scream 60s style in the best way possible and it sure is a lovely place to be. Everything works as it should and the only real points to note are the slight discolouration on the drivers seat (no rips or tears) and a few chips missing from the wooden dash veneer but I am being very picky.
The exterior has been restored to a better than original standard and is still wearing it’s respray of 2010 very well. Garaged when not in use and taken out on special occasions only this car has been pampered and the quality of the restoration shines through. You will see from the images just how stunning this vehicle is and will continue to be for some time if looked after. Looking through its history, It has even won awards at several motor shows which is not a surprise given its condition. There were no blemishes I could find on the outside, the paint is great and the chrome and brightwork is also in a fantastic condition.
Like the rest of the car, the mechanicals on this vehicle have been meticulously restored and maintained. It still sports its original 1600cc engine, fully rebuilt of course and with the addition of stainless exhaust it sounds a little more throaty and has a great engine note. The car starts/stops and handles as expected, it's almost as if it’s just driven off the assembly line in 1965. The history file contains all receipts for all work carried out over the years and even though its tax and MOT exempt the current owner has had it MOT’d for peace of mind, this runs out in July 21.
The roaring 60s, a time when cars were stylish, in fact everything was more stylish. This Singer Vogue estate is offered in stunning condition due to its restoration and the love and care lavished upon it by each of its owners over the years. This car would not be out of place in a car collection or museum, it's that stunning. If you're after a usable classic that you can cherish, enjoy and even take to shows and events and put on display then this is a worthy contender, and you would be doing so in the knowledge that every owner before you has looked after it and loved it as much as you do. It turns heads everywhere it goes and just taking the photos of it for this article we were constantly interrupted by passers by wanting to take a closer look and ask the owner about it. There are reportedly only 9 examples of the 1965 Singer Vogue estate left in the UK which means that it's very rare and if you were to be the next owner, you can be sure that your vehicle is certainly at the top of that list.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
