Armstrong Siddeley Motors - The cars, the company and the people

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. Somehow for all the design influences it comes out looking very British indeed. A unique blend of social, economic and industrial history.
