1966 SINGER VOGUE Series IV

1966 SINGER VOGUE Series IV.
The Singer Vogue name has been applied to two generations of motor cars from the British manufacturer Singer.
Vogue Series I/II/III/IV
The first generation Singer Vogue I/II/III/IV models of 1961 to 1966, was a badge engineered version of the Hillman Super Minx. Introduced in July 1961, it was positioned above the Super Minx and Singer Gazelle in the Rootes Group range, and had quadruple headlights as well as a more powerful 66 bhp (49 kW; 67 PS) version of the 1,592 cc (97.1 ci) Minx engine. The Series II version for 1963 had front disc brakes as standard, changes to the interior, removal of the chrome bonnet strip and a change to amber front indicator lenses. The Series III of 1964 gained six light bodywork and an increase in power to 84 bhp (63 kW; 85 PS). The final version of this generation, the Series IV was introduced at the 1965 motor show[ and saw the engine size increased to 1,725 cc (105.3 ci) although there was no change in power output. The first generation Vogue was offered as a four door saloon and as an estate car.
Australian production as the Humber Vogue
The Vogue was also produced in Australia, by Rootes Australia, and was marketed as the Humber Vogue. It was introduced in 1963 and was followed by the Vogue Sports which was fitted with a Sunbeam Rapier engine that provided a 35 percent increase in power to 85.5 hp (64 kW; 87 PS). The Vogue Sports also featured improved suspension, brakes and wheels. The Rapier-powered Vogue III was introduced in early 1965 at which time the Vogue Sports was discontinued. Australian production of the Vogue ceased in 1966 following the takeover of Rootes Australia by Chrysler Australia.

I owned a 1966 Singer Vogue 1725cc in NZ from new - then sold it in 1968 to buy a house!! Selling a car these days to buy a house wouldn't work unless perhaps it was a Rolls Royce!! The Singer was my pride and joy. Excellent quality inside and out.

A truly beautiful car. Not like today where mass produced cars look exactly the same, in two words, 'no soul'. I have been lucky to have owned a few cars from the sixties.

Could do a much better job of showing the interior of the car.
