FactThe 1963 Singer Vogue Series II was ahead of its class — front disc brakes came as standard equipment on this mid-range British saloon.
The first-generation Singer Vogue I/II/III/IV models of 1961 to 1966 were badge-engineered versions of the Hillman Super Minx, introduced in July 1961 above the Super Minx and Singer Gazelle in the Rootes Group range, with twin headlights and a more powerful 66 bhp version of the 1,592 cc Minx engine, offered as a four-door saloon and as an estate car. The Series II for 1963 had front disc brakes as standard, changes to the interior, no chrome bonnet strip and amber front indicator lenses; the Series III of 1964 gained six-light bodywork and an increase in power to 84 bhp; and the final Series IV, introduced at the 1965 motor show, raised the engine size to 1,725 cc although there was no change in power output. A Series IV tested by Autocar in August 1966 (advertised output 85 bhp) reached 93 mph and 0–60 mph in 25 seconds and cost £911. In Australia the Vogue was produced by Rootes Australia as the Humber Vogue from 1963, with a Vogue Sports version using a Sunbeam Rapier engine (85.5 hp) and a Rapier-powered Vogue III from early 1965; Australian production ceased in 1966.

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.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
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.
