keiser31 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It looks EXACTLY like a car a friend of mine owned in San Diego years ago...I do see what looks to be a California "black" plate on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Lichtfel Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 English Singer. I owned one just like it before I knew much about cars. Cute little four passenger open car. One of the few cars that a MG could beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 For an English car, I see that it is not right hand drive. An export model? Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave@Moon Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 For an English car, I see that it is not right hand drive. An export model? Dandy Dave!This model was introduced during the "Export or die" era of British car manufacturing. Great Britiain was in such desperate need of cash after the war that the government rationed materals preferentially to car companies based on their export performance. If you couldn't sell you cars overseas, like Jaguar/MG/Triumph/etc. were doing, you didn't get any steel to make any more.The year this model was introduced (1951) Great Britain produced 475,919 private cars, 368,101 of which were exported. By far most British built cars were left-hand drive in those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
