Answer 2

Well after countless articles i can say that I have not found one piece of evidence to connect the two companies together at all. Isaac Meritt Singer of Singer Sewing Machines died in 1875. in 1905 Rootes Group founded the Singer Car Company

Answer 3

Yes they were connected.

I had a Singer Chamois as my first car - basically a Hillman Imp under another name.
