This is Tim Mann’s 1956 Hunter. Tim bought the car from former ASCO Secretary Barry Paine, a close neighbour, in 2007.
It was one of the last Singer & Co cars to leave the factory following the take over by Rootes.
Hunters were made from late 1954 until 1956 and were basically updated Singer 1500s. They were a well engineered car, with a 1497cc ohc engine and comfortable accommodation for up to six people, with good roadholding and performance judged by the standards of their day. This particular car was purchased by its previous owner in 1973 with a mere 19,000 miles on the clock and has been used for work and family transport for many years.
