Seller's comments about 1935' Singer Le Mans 1.5 Liter 6 Cylinders
In 1934 Singer unveiled a six-cylinder version of its much vaunted Nine Le Mans. Initially credited with 48bhp, the adoption of a cross-flow cylinder head and triple SU carburettors saw the 1493cc OHC engine's output climb to a healthy 63bhp. The newcomer's double-dropped chassis featured an inch longer wheelbase plus a degree of localised lightening and strengthening with competition in mind; the bulkier engine being accommodated by moving the seats rearward. Despite distinguishing itself at the 1934 Le Mans 24-hours with 7th and 8th places overall and being priced at just £285, the model proved decidedly exclusive (only 71 1.5 Litre Le Mans Singers were produced all told) . And less than 20 are on the road now !
Originally coloured Red, this remarkably original looking MKII 1.5 Litre Le Mans is finished with Black leather upholstery. Dispatched from the factory on September 19th 1934 to the Manchester branch of Henlys, it was road registered as 'BVR 33' in September 1935. Believed by the Singer Owners' Club to have been sold new to a Mr Bailey of Newtown, Montgomeryshire, the rest of the car's early history is, however, unknown. Belonging to a Mr Tony Raynor for four years before entering the previous ownership during 1982, the Le Mans has since been campaigned in classic trials and VSCC events as well as being used for general touring on the Continent and in Britain.
The car has been totally restored but keeping the maximum of the patina : the ash-frame is totally new , all the wood pieces have been redone by the Singer ash frame Specialist we have all the pictures, the engine has been rebuilt with new pistons , white metal , new water pipe , etc , new brakes with new wheel cylindres , new Blockley tyres , wheels restored ,stainless steel exhaust and a lot more , and new paint !
Regarding the upholstery the leather as "nicely worn" , , we kept it , as the dashboard . . . We tried to keep the maximum of the original patina . new tonneau cover .
Thought to be the first six-cylinder Le Mans to come to the market for many years, it is now being offered complete with numerous tools, many running spares (head gasket, half-shaft, SU fuel pump, bulbs etc), green logbook, photocopies from a parts catalogue, instruction book, repair manual, spares catalogue, sundry invoices .
Price : £ 85.000 . Car is in France but still registered BVR 33 in my name .
