A Specially
prepared Singer Nine was brought into competition at Le Mans in the year
1933. The car finished 13th. overall. Since that glorious day the Singer
Nine Speed specials were named Le Mans Speed special...
The Singer Le Mans Speed special racingcars made quite an impression on
the pre-war European circuits. The cars could outpace the hard to beat
M.G's. and the car competed successfully in many race and rally.
The Singer Le Mans Speed special was equipped with a beautiful, compact,
four-cylinder engine aspirated by twin carburettors. The engine was
already equipped with an overhead camshaft. This engine was capable of
running an amazing 6000 rpm., which was quite remarkable those days.
The Singer Le Mans was, as the standard Singer "Nine",
equipped with a four-speed gearbox, hydraulic drum brakes all round and
friction shock dampers.
Very characteristic are the two spare-wheels, fitted to the back of the
car, with special clamps and the complete set of tools neatly stowed
under the bonnet.
