The Next Generation...
Here's a great photo of young Kit Keyser, son of Eric and Jane Keyser in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

When they were living in the UK, the Keyser family bought this 1937 Singer Nine Le Mans from Paul Barnes, a member of the British Singer Owners Club. Paul had bought it from Tony Raynor, also a member of the SOC. Tony subsequently emigrated to California and is now the Historian for our North American Singer Owners Club.

The car started life as a Sports 4 seater, of which only 19 were produced before the Nine range of sports cars were phased out in 1937. The car had already been converted to a two seater by the time Tony bought it. The Singer was featured in The Autocar magazine at the time Paul and Tony were arranging the deal back in August of 1978. The Keysers were considering selling the car, but Kit has developed an interest in the Singer and after a visit from Phillip Avis, our NASOC Pre-War Registrar, have decided to keep it and get it back on the road. Congratulations!

Look for the full story in issue 2-2007 of NASOC NEWS!
