EyesWeldedShut Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Kind of similar - own goal this time.

One book on the Mini features a picture of one with neater rear doors which used the longer wheelbase of the vans & estates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesapandre Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 2 hours ago, lisbon_road said: Just wondering what that is? Singer SM 1500 - it was Singers first Post-War car -1948 to '56. The body was styled by Leo Shorter, Singer's chief engineer since 1937 - OHC engine. Singer could not sell enough cheap enough to survive - so were bought out by Rootes and hermogenised into the Rootes operation. Nameplate finally dropped in 1970 - caused by the Chrysler buyout and their reorganisation of Rootes. About 17,000 made - a lot exported and very few survive. Odd 'any-car' styling - which aged very fast. I like them for their oddness - never seen one on the road. They even made a handful of pick-ups for export.

adw1977 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Very practical shape, the SM1500. Generous headroom and easy access for rear passengers, look at the vertical rear edge of the rear door. But also looks rather ungainly. The Rover P4 is actually a similar shape but styled better. Remspoor and lesapandre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
