This is Tim Mann's 1956
Singer Hunter. Tim bought the
car from ASCO Secretary
Barry Paine, a close neighbour, in 2007.
It was one of the last Singer & Co cars to leave the factory following
the take over by Rootes.
Hunters were made from late 1954 until 1956 and were basically updated
Singer SM1500s. They were a well engineered car, with a 1497cc ohc engine
and comfortable accommodation for up to six people, with good roadholding
and performance judged by the standards of their day. This
particular car was purchased by its previous owner in 1973 with a mere
19,000 miles on the clock and has been used for work and family transport
for many years.
