Identification request

Is anyone able to identify this unusual (I think) Singer, please? According to the bit of the British government database that they let you interrogate online - not always infallible for cars of this age - the car was first registered in 1933 and has an engine capacity a little above 2000 cc. And thank you. Regards Charles01 (talk) 19:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

It is this one http://autopendium.com/modtypes/1152-Singer-Kaye-Don-Silent-Six --— Typ932^{T | C}  20:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm. Could well be. Funny how every answer triggers five questions. But I guess that's how we learn. Best Charles01 (talk) 16:18, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Merge with Singer (motorcycle)

The article Singer (motorcycle) is apparently about the same company as this one is. Considering that Singer is better remembered as a car marque than as a motorcycle marque, I suggest that the Singer (motorcycle) article be merged into this one. No signature (talk) 20:13, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Identification request: Another (apparently) largely forgotten Singer

Is anyone able to identify this car, please?

It has "Singer" written on the nose. And the shape of it suggests to me that it probaby dates from the early 1930s: but I could be wrong about that. Thank you for any inputs.

Seems quite hard to determine, could be Singer Light Six, see here the models http://www.singeroc.free-online.co.uk/, would need maybe Singer expert to tell the model --Typ932 ^T·C 11:53, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

It's a Singer Six (16), registered in 1929, and only brought out that year. My photos of the same car below. Acabashi (talk) 03:06, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Acabashi. Would you mind if I moved these images to the Light Six category in which (to me) it belongs. I have a particular interest in big Singers of the mid-1930s. According to the expert very very few have survived. They are great photos to have here, thank you. Eddaido (talk) 04:39, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi to you Eddaido... don't mind in the least... I'll bow to your better knowledge. When the owner wrote on his entry sheet what I interpreted as '16', perhaps he meant 'L6'. Best. Acabashi (talk) 02:19, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Pause for thought. How about checking with this page, click on Gallery and select Singers from the drop down menu. Scroll up and down and you will see some cars very like the car in these photographs. However it should be remembered they would not be the first owners club to have a bad i.d. on a photo on their official site! I would say both descriptions are correct: sixteen horsepower and Light Six. Do you have access to the archive of The Times through your local library?

1929 Singer Senior

I have a photo of a 1929 Singer Senior I used to own. But I have no idea how to get it into this entry.

Hi John F. (if you happen to see this nearly three years later) You go to this page in Wikimedia (where these pictures are kept) and follow the instructions. Probs please come back here. Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 11:29, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Marked Craig

Wise says, "In 1905, Singer arranged licence production of the Lea-Francis automobile, developed by R. H. Lea (who had worked for Singer 17 years) and G. I. Francis. Its horizontal three-cylinder engine, designed by Alex Craig, produced 15 hp (11 kW), proved too unconventional." This conflicts with Georgano. Who's right? I tend to think Wise (who also describes the engine's workings) is... TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 05:28, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
