AI Listing Summary

This 1951 Singer 4AB Roadster, sold for £10,125, is a partially restored classic with approximately 50,000 miles. While significant cosmetic and mechanical work has been completed, the restoration stalled due to the previous owner's passing, presenting an opportunity for completion.
