Coventry Premier

The Coventry Premier trademark continued to be used by Singer until c1927 when they ceased bicycle production.

The engine was a 998 cc air-cooled V-twin (85mm bore, 88mm stroke) with special heavy flywheel for cyclecar work and Bosch magneto.

Brown, who had been with Talbot, was added in 1914 with four-cylinder engine of 1592 cc and shaft drive.

Testing of the 4-cylinder car continued during the war, but when peacetime production restarted in 1919 it did not appear.

Instead the company launched the 8 hp Super Runabout two-seat, three-wheeled cyclecar with 1056 cc, water-cooled, V twin engine, shaft drive to a rear-mounted gearbox and chain drive to the rear wheels.

In 1921 Coventry Premier was bought by Singer[2] and the three-wheeler was replaced by a four-wheeled version using the same engine but now having the gearbox combined with the rear axle, eliminating the chain drive.
