✓In 1933, celebrating this moderate success, a new underslung racy two-seat model called the Singer Le Mans appeared

✓Produced from 1933 to 1937, the Nine Le Mans had a higher tuned version of the 972 cc inline-four, with stronger valve tappets, a thicker, sharply angled camshaft paired with flat-back rocker arms, and a bigger and better cooled cast aluminium oil sump of roughly 2 Gallons in capacity

✓The Special Speed also received a tuned 38.5 hp (28.7 kW) engine with twin vertical Solex (30 IF) carburettors, a speed cylinder head with angled spark plugs, a heavier cast iron flywheel and a counterbalanced web crankshaft

✓A steel channel-section streamlined body replaced the ash construction, and Electrum was used instead of cast Aluminium, which, when coupled with the engine tuning meant a top speed of over 98 mph
