Racing Roadsters


Just released is my book on Racing Roadsters. It includes photos, perspective and recollections of Singer's place in the Golden Days of Sports Car racing in North America during the fabulous Fifties.

There are lots of images of Singers on the popular circuits of the day, including Santa Barbara, Pebble Beach, Pomona, Bridgehampton and more.

Ralph Bush, former Singer racer wrote "What can I say, this is a wonderful publication that brought back so many memories and it is so well put together, I will keep it as one of my all time favorites. You put together a fantastic history, nice going".

From Earl Gandel, former Manager of the Bridgehampton Race Circuit "Thanks very much for the book. I got it today, and loved going through it page by page.... I applaud your accomplishment".

The price of the book is $25 plus postage ( Canada $3.00, US $4.50, Australia $10.00, Europe and UK $12.75).

Singer Cars In Print

Unfortunately, most of the books on Singer cars are out of print or otherwise unavailable. An exception is the recently released Krause Publication entitled "The Standard Guide to British Sports Cars" available through Moss Motors for $24.95.

John Gunnel, the author, consulted with experts in the various British car clubs in North America to develop reasonably in depth
background on the myriad of Bitish sports cars on the continent, including a comprehensive section on Singers.

The real bonus for our marque was the Publisher's decision to kick off the Introduction to the book with the inclusion of Yours Truly's Nine Sports under the chapter's heading "An Exciting Heritage".


Also included was a shot of Phil Avis' 1936 Le Mans Special Speed next to a Bentley Le Mans.
