Singer Motors Limited was a British motor vehicle manufacturing business, originally a bicyclemanufacturer founded as Singer & Co by George Singer, in 1874 in Coventry, England. Singer & Co's bicycle manufacture continued. From 1901 George Singer's Singer Motor Co made cars and commercial vehicles.
Singer Motor Co was the first motor manufacturer to make a small economy car that was a replica of a large car, showing a small car was a practical proposition. It was much more sturdily built than otherwise similar cyclecars. With its four-cylinder ten horsepower engine the Singer Ten was launched at the 1912 Cycle and Motor Cycle Show at Olympia. William Rootes, Singer apprentice at the time of its development and consummate car-salesman, contracted to buy 50, the entire first year's supply. It became a best-seller. Ultimately Singer's business was acquired by his Rootes Group in 1956, which continued the brand until 1970.

From its distinctive front grille to the rear bumper, modern styled gauges to the moulded rear window, the SM1500 was different. There were many features designed especially for safety and comfort including two leading shoe brake system.
Singer was the first of the British companies to bring out an entirely new body shape after the war. They introduced the SM 1500 in 1949. It had a strikingly modern body shape, independent front wheel suspension and a four-cylinder engine producing 48 bhp. The model ran from 1949 - 1954 and 22,648 models were made.
