Finished in an attractive dark green with a complementary brown interior, this 1955 Singer Hunter is a delightful example of the increasingly rare post-war British family saloon. Equipped with a manual gearbox and displaying 64,504 miles, the Singer is described by the vendor as running and driving, making it an appealing opportunity to enjoy classic motoring from day one.
The interior has retained much of its original charm, featuring the polished dashboard fascia, Jaeger instrumentation, banjo steering wheel and comfortable bench seating. The cabin presents honestly with an attractive level of age-related patina, creating exactly the sort of period ambience enthusiasts look for in an unrestored 1950s saloon.
One of the highlights of this example is the comprehensive collection of accompanying literature. Included with the sale are the original Singer Hunter Owner's Handbook, the factory-issued Technical Service Manual, an extensive Chrysler UK workshop manual, together with numerous period editions of Old Motor magazine and recent copies of Singer Owner magazine from the Singer Owners' Club. This impressive archive adds genuine provenance and will undoubtedly prove invaluable to the next custodian.
Externally, the car presents well with a good shine to the paintwork, although it displays the expected age-related blemishes, minor paint imperfections and isolated corrosion around the lower door edges and panel seams, as shown in the photographs. The chrome trim remains complete and complements the Hunter's distinctive upright grille and handsome post-war styling.
The engine bay appears tidy and largely original in presentation, and the car is offered as running and driving. With MOT exemption afforded by its age and a wonderful file of supporting literature, this Singer Hunter offers an affordable and characterful entry into 1950s British motoring.
