CHOLMONDELEY PAGEANT OF POWER
July 2011

Rapidly gaining a reputation as the 'Goodwood of the North' the Cholmonedely Pageant of Power was a non stop festival of all things powerful. The sprint track which almost surrounds the park was in constant use by an amazing range of vehicles from aero engined specials to the latest supercars, Le Mans racing cars to all eras of racing motorcycles. Elsewhere were historic motorcycle scrambling, rally cars in action, 4 x 4s, military displays, aerobatic displays and powerboat racing on the lake right alongside the track.

The Singer Owners' Club had a prime space in the club display area for all three days and despite very changeable weather conditions had a good display of vehicles.

KIMBOLTON CLASSIC CAR SHOW
July 2011

A very enjoyable show with lots going on all the time and an excellent turn out by Singer Owners with cars from the 20's to the 70's. Particularly well represented were the Gazelles, Le Mans and 9 Sports but it was also good to see 3 Chamois which are rarely seen these days.

SINGER NATIONAL WEEKEND

NEC CLASSIC CAR SHOW
November 2010

2010 NEC Classic Motor Show The annual end of season classic motor show was bigger, better and noisier than ever. It was the ideal place to launch the Club's 60th anniversary celebration. On the SOC stand was a 1930 Junior Sportsman's Coupe, 1934 Le Mans, 1953 Roadster and a 1966 Singer Gazelle, but creating a lot of interest was a display of patterns and sandcasting, a timber frame for a LM body and a 1934 Coupe chassis complete with engine and gearbox. Many parts available for all the models were also on show.

LE MANS CLASSIC 2008

30 cars including 24 Singer Le Mans (4 of whom had actually raced at Le Mans) gathered at Le Mans in July for the Le Mans Classic, 24 hours of racing for cars that either took part in the 24 hour races between 1923 and 1987 or cars that are identical to those that took part. The Singers were mainly from the UK but included a number from Holland and France. The Le Mans Classic is held every two years and has become a magnet for Le Mans enthusiasts, over 400 cars took part in the races with 1000 drivers and over 6000 cars on display in the club area. 57 Marques were represented in club displays on the Bugatti Circuit and the Singer Owners' Club received the award for the best display. The Jacque Savoye Singer which competed at Le Mans four times and won the 1 litre Class in 1938 was given a special award for being the most original race car on display and this from a specially selected 24 cars in the 'Heritage Club'.

COMMODORE ON THE BROADS

At the 2007 Singer National Weekend, Sunday morning took everyone to the Waveney River Centre where over 70 cars and bicycles were displayed overlooking the small marina. The only Singer Commodore was launched and showed that even at 70 years of age this superb looking craft still has an excellent turn of speed even if it does have a tendency to leak!
