Little Singer: Never heard of it? Yes, it was associated with the Singer sewing machine company, but it met with little success in the world of automobiles
2004
Overview
TORONTO - The Singer name is associated more with sewing machines than with cars in North America, although there was a Singer car made in New York and it was built by a descendent of the sewing machine enterprise. While the performance of the MG and the Singer was comparable, the Singer lacked the style and panache of the MG. They both had cut-down doors, a fold-down windshield, clamshell fenders and free-standing headlamps, but in the two-seater MG they came out looking low and sleek, whereas the four-passenger Singer looked high and ungainly. Also, the Singer lacked a tachometer, an inexcusable omission for a sports car. Photo: CanWest News Service / The Singer Roadster had similar features to the MGTD, but it was outsold by a wide margin despite having the same $2,200 price tag.
