Identify this car please
pete.mason:
Yes it was Rootes by then and I think Gazelle and Rapier were basically classes of trim & maybe engines of the Minx
mmitch:
I think Singer was part of the Rootes group by then as the Gazelle and the Sunbeam Rapier were similar. I remember my neighbour had a convertable Gazelle and would not swap it for the Rapier!

pete.mason:
Was the last Singer branded car The Gazelle?
johnfilmer:
Stuart, Riley did make a “Nine”, a rather famous vehicle. Wiki and Google are your friends.
stuartwaters:
You're welcome John. I guessed it was either a Singer or a Riley; they had similar radiator grilles, but Riley never built a car called a 'Nine'. There was a Six and an Eight, but not a 'Nine'. Incidentally, Singer continued building the Nine after the War, but only as a sports car on the same chassis. The saloon was discontinued when the Second World War broke out.
