Singer

The Singer Super Ten was introduced in 1946 as one of Singer’s first post-war models, replacing the pre-war Ten. It was a compact four-door saloon powered by a 1,074 cc four-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine, an unusually advanced feature in its class. Drive was to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. Although its styling remained distinctly pre-war, with separate wings and running boards, the Super Ten offered respectable performance and relatively refined engineering for a small British family car. Production remained modest compared with rivals from Austin and Morris. The Super Ten was discontinued in 1949, when Singer increasingly concentrated on newer models including the SM1500.
