Registration No: PSK 257
Chassis No: B7105589HV0
MOT: Exempt
The Singer Vogue launched in July 1961, being positioned above the Super Minx and Singer Gazelle in the Rootes Group range and was powered by the well proven Rootes four-cylinder OHV 1,592cc engine. Twin, cowled headlamps surmounted a new frontal design, with a large centre grille, flanked by chrome side air intake grilles The interior was completely different from that of the Gazelle, and featured a bench front seat, full-width parcel shelf, and a burred walnut veneer dashboard with horizontal instrumentation. An all-drum braking system was fitted, and Smiths Easidrive, and Laycock overdrive transmission were optional extras. In February 1962, production began of an estate car version which was formally launched in May of that year. A total of 7,423 Series I Vogues were made.
‘PSK 257’ was manufactured in 1962 and was supplied new by Baker’s of Frinton-on-Sea being road registered on the 1st August that year. Finished in the very attractive colour scheme of Light Blue paintwork with a White roof and Blue vinyl interior upholstery, pleasingly, the Singer is understood to still boast its factory paintwork and interior upholstery. With just approximately 50,000 miles on the odometer, the mileage is supported as genuine with substantial early service records and numerous previous MOTs, as well as the original bill of sale and a current V5C document included. In current ownership since 2018, the vendor informs that all the mechanicals are in excellent condition for its age and is a pleasure to drive. The Singer is now offered to make way for a 1950s classic. A rarity with both its history and originality, as well as being a very scarce Series I estate variant, ‘PSK 257’ is worthy of close consideration and is also accompanied by a spares package.
