History
Singer Hunter
The Singer Hunter was a conservatively styled family car that maintained the company's tradition of quality engineering. By the 1950s, Singer was part of the Rootes Group but still retained some independence. The Hunter featured a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and traditional Singer craftsmanship, competing with similar offerings from Rover and Humber. However, rationalization within Rootes meant Singer's independence was limited, and by 1956 Singer models became badge-engineered Hillmans. The Hunter name would later be revived for a Hillman model in the 1960s.
