About the Singer Gazelle Series III-VI
The Singer Gazelle Series VI represents the ultimate development of the Rootes Group's 'Audax' platform, which it shared with the Hillman Minx and Sunbeam Rapier. Introduced in 1965, the Series VI was distinguished by its new 1,725cc five-bearing crankshaft engine, providing a smoother and more robust driving experience than its predecessors. Visually, it moved away from the traditional oval Singer grille in favour of a sharper, rectangular design that integrated with the front panels. As a more premium alternative to the Hillman, it featured a walnut-veneered dashboard and plusher interior appointments, maintaining Singer's reputation for 'middle-class' luxury. Production ended in 1967 when it was replaced by the Arrow-series Gazelle, marking the end of an era for the distinctive Audax styling.
