This is Tony Raynor's superb 1936 Le Mans Nine hp. Tony lives in California and his car was recently featured in a new US Classic Car publication, Hemmings 'Sports and Exotic Cars'.  In the magazine, Tony says:

"This is the eighth Singer Le Mans that I've restored. I'm just in love with them.   When I was a small boy in England I had a newspaper route and saw one derelict in a driveway, and I was just enamored of it.   I didn't have much money, but the first one that I bought when I was 16 cost me all of £65 (about $125).   I became frustrated working on that car and sold it, and two weeks later I was missing it already and bought another one.   "Between driving and restoring, I prefer restoring them.   It's absolutely diabolical to drive it in the summer here - as you're driving, the heat stays in the wooden floor boards. I drive it in the Californian wintertime.   "I've always loved the car's looks.   A small, two-seater car to me is an ideal car.   It's not fast enough for the freeway, though - it'll do 70 to 75 mph, but that is really working it.   I guess it's pedestrian by today's standards - it sounds like a Ferrari and goes like a postman's van."
