A collection of images of classic Singer cars, and cars that are likely to become classics, taken at numerous visits to car shows, motoring museums, motoring events and on the road when the opportunity arises.

Singer's first tri-car was the Tri-Voiturette.  It was powered by a 2+1⁄2hp (1.9 kW) engine, and offered in two models, the No. 1 (passenger facing backward) and No. 2 (passenger facing forward); both fitted the passenger seat well behind the rear axle.

At the 1902 Cordingly Show, at the Islington Agricultural Hall, Singer showed two commercial variants of the Tri-Voiturette, the Motor Carrier, one for tradesmen, one for dairymen.

The Tri-Voiturette was replaced by another tri-car, which had two front wheels and a driven rear, more horsepower, and a coach-built body, but with the passenger now in front of the driver.

Muriel Hind drove a Singer Tri-car in the 1906 Land's End to John O'Groats Trial, with aviation pioneer Hilda Hewlett as her passenger and mechanic.  She also drove a tri-car in the twenty four hour London to Edinburgh Trial, again with a female passenger, making good time in torrential rain.

Singer made their first four-wheel car in 1905.  It was designed by Scottish engineer Alexander Craig and was a variant of a design he had done for Lea-Francis having a 2-cylinder 1,853 or 2,471 cc (113.1 or 150.8 cu in) engine.

The first Singer-designed car was the 4-cylinder 2.4-litre 12/14 of 1906.  The engine was bought in from Aster.
