Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1949 Singer 4A Roadster, originally sold in California and repatriated to the UK in 2010, boasts rust-free bodywork and a recent recommissioning. With its original toolkit, history file and active owner's club, this classic represents a usable and appealing piece of automotive history, but a prospective buyer should consider the originality of replaced interior and the uninstalled hood.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in good condition, with original, rust-free bodywork thanks to its time in California. It has been recommissioned with new parts and is reported to be running well. While the interior has been replaced and a new hood is supplied but not fitted, the presence of original toolkit and extensive history file add to its appeal. The estimate suggests it requires only minor reconditioning.

Registration No.
971UYGChassis no.
4A4533TEngine No.
TBALaunched in 1939 as an open version of the Bantam saloon, the roadster was powered by a 1074cc engine with a four-speed gearbox.
Production was suspended during WWII and when it was restarted nearly all production was destined for export in line with government rules.
The post war cars benefited from a stiffened chassis and the engine was moved further forward.971 UYG was one of only approx 4,100 4A's built after WWII and was dispatched to Vaughan Motors in New York (Singer's agent in the USA) in early 1950.
It was purchased by Mr. Howard Singer of La Jolla California, who owned the car for nearly 50 years.
Mr. Singer was a regular visitor to the UK staying at the Cumberland Hotel and corresponded with Singer enthusiasts on his visits, one of whom was promised the car after his passing.
The car was repatriated to the UK in 2010 after 60 years by her second owner and registered with the DVLA in 2014...
