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. This book tells the history of the company from Siddeley’s birth to the present day. It unravels the complex history of Siddeley’s involvement in motoring, it graphically illustrates the style and the personalities involved, it reveals the political and economic background of the time, it shows the relationship between the aero and car side, highlights the many illustrious owners of this marque, shows how the ASOC and other Clubs kept the marque alive and it lists in detail some of the surviving cars. "A book like this on the Armstrong Siddeley marque will not be seen again" Armstrong Siddeley Car Club
