1930s Singer saloon car.
This photo, showing a 9hp Singer, is in less-than-brilliant condition, but had to be included simply because of what it shows. Why is this bloke perched on the top of his bonnet & radiator surround? is he pretending to be an oversize bonnet mascot for his 30s saloon? we'll never know the answer to that, but he looks like he was having fun anyway. The car I think is a Singer 9 from the mid 1930s. Just visible in the background is a motorcycle, with another car parked in front. The registration number of the 'bike is partly visible, with its registration number showing an area code of 'XU' which, according to my old RAC handbook, suggests that it was first registered in the London area. Chances are then that this scene was also from that neck of the woods.
