Technical

The company has origins in the sewing machines business and bicycle industry. It made bicycles and three wheelers, some of which were motorized at the end of the 19th century. The company decided to go into the car manufacturing business in 1905 when it became Singer & Company Ltd. It prospered so well that by the mid-1920s, Singer was Britain's third largest auto manufacturer behind Morris and Austin. Reorganized as Singer Motors Ltd in 1936, it later imported in Canada after WW2. The company was absorbed by Rootes Group in 1955 and the Singer name in cars died in 1970.
