Singer - Singer Vogue
The Singer Vogue, introduced in 1961 as a 4 door or Estate car option, was in effect the better appointed "De Luxe" variation of it's Hillman Super Minx counterpart. The Vogue engine was uprated to give more power, and externally the car had 4 headlights. From 1963 things stayed much the same for the Vogue II (Vogue 2) apart from the addition of disc brakes. The Vogue III (Vogue 3) had a different look to the cab at the rear, and for 1965 the engine capacity was increased to 1725cc. By 1966 and the "New Vogue" had much lighter bodies, with a much more modern look to them, as was incorporated in the other ranges within the Rootes Group. Production of the Singer Vogue continued to 1970.
