The Singer Super 12 was a mid-range car that Singer built from 1938 to 1949 as the successor to the 11 .

The car had a four-cylinder in - line engine with 1525 cm³ displacement (bore × stroke = 68 mm × 105 mm), the 43 bhp (31.6 kW) at 4000 / min. performed. Like all Singer engines since 1935, the engine had an overhead camshaft . The top speed of the car was 103 km / h.

The Super 12 was only available from the factory as a four-door sedan. In addition, there were various bodybuilders who offered independent shapes.
