ASCO's Junior Registrar is Mike Hyman, pictured here with his father in 1974 outside the family garage where Mike served his apprenticeship in the early 1950s. He spent several years in the motor trade, four of them in East Africa, before joining the MOD Contract Repair organisation as a vehicle inspector. He later joined REME as a civilian Technical Officer, moving on to Research & Development, then Project Management. Mike now has five Singers - three of them Juniors. | ||

First came
Hazel, a 1932 Sports Special Nine, GY 2793, which he found derelict
outside a barn near devizes and restored over four years as a retirement
project. Then came Victor,
a 1930 Saloon VK 3304, which had spent over 15 years rotting in a lockup
garage awaiting restoration. There is still another two or three years
work before he will be on the road again. Mike bought Gordon,
a 1931 Saloon GN 4352, to run whilst Victor was being worked on. His latest
project is a 1953 SM 1500, NON 471, named Monty,
which is currently under restoration. Mike also has recently acquired
a 1956 Hunter named Selwyn,
who came from Wales. Selwyn had suffered from seaside salt corrosion after
almost 50 years in the Swansea area, and Mike has had to rebuild the rear
body mountings, most of which had completely rotted away. Selwyn's main
outing was the Singer Centenary celebration. To contact Mike please use the website Message Pad |
