Tour Scotland Photograph 1957 Singer Gazelle

Tour Scotland photograph of a 1957 Singer Gazelle at Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club near Glamis Castle, Scotland

The Gazelle was the first Singer to be produced following the take over of the Singer company by the Rootes Group in 1956 and was a version of the mainstream Hillman Minx differing mainly in retaining the Singer overhead cam engine. Externally the only significant difference was a restyled nose based around a traditional Singer grille. The body style followed by the Gazelle between 1956 and 1967 came to be known as the Audax body, with significant input from the US based Loewy design organisation, highly regarded at the time partly on account of Loewy's input to several iconic Studebaker designs.
