FactOnly six delivery vans were ever built on the Nine. One survives — a 1934 model still doing paid work for a small Lincolnshire firm.
The Singer Nine was produced by Singer Motors from February 1933 to 1937, as a new economy model replacing the Singer Junior series (and then again from 1939 to 1949 as a Roadster only). Its 972 cc overhead-cam engine, based on the earlier 848 cc 8HP Junior design, gave 26.5 hp through a four-speed manual gearbox; the Nine saloon was replaced by the shorter Bantam Nine in 1936. The four-seat Nine Sports tourer appeared from October 1933 and one finished thirteenth at the 1933 24 Hours of Le Mans. The underslung two-seat Le Mans of 1933 had a higher-tuned 972 cc four with twin Solex carburettors, sustainable 34 hp and a close-ratio gearbox, and won hillclimbs, trials and endurance events including the Liège-Rome-Liège and the Alpine Cup Rally (a four-seater followed in 1935); the more spacious 1935 Special Speed, with a 38.5 hp tuned engine, twin Solex carburettors, a speed cylinder head, a heavier flywheel and a counterbalanced crankshaft, replaced the Le Mans for 1936 and 1937. Only four highly tuned Le Mans Replicas (Works Team Cars) were built, three of which ran at the 1935 Le Mans, with a top speed of over 98 mph.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
