Browse this model's history and yearsHistory
The Singer Nine arrived in February 1933 as an economy model replacing the Junior, powered by a 972 cc overhead-camshaft four producing around 26.5 bhp. It was sold as saloons, a sports tourer, and increasingly sporting two-seaters.
From October 1933 the Nine Sports four-seat tourer added twin Solex carburettors and roughly 34 bhp; one finished 13th overall at the 1933 24 Hours of Le Mans, lending the model line a competition reputation that Singer leaned on heavily in its marketing.
The Nine saloon was succeeded by the Bantam-bodied Singer Nine in 1936 — a small saloon closely styled on the Ford Model Y and the first Singer with a synchromesh gearbox — while the sporting Nine name carried on into the roadster of the later 1930s and 1940s.
