What did Armstrong Siddeley Motors achieve? A car that looked good, did what it was intended to do and was thoroughly reliable. If ever there was a car that exuded style it was the Armstrong Siddeley. From the vast leviathans of the 1920s to the Art Deco inspired cars of the thirties and the restrained post modernism of the 1950s.
