Description

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. Format 250 by 250mm, 9-7/8 x 9-7/8in 496 artpaper pages 365 black & white photographs and illustrations.

Features:

- The history of the company from Siddeley’s birth to now.
- Unravels the complex history of Siddeley’s involvement in motoring.
- Graphically illustrates the style and the personalities involved and reveals the political and economic background of the time.
- Shows the relationship between the aero and car side and highlights the many illustrious owners of this marque.
- Shows why car production stopped and what happened next and how ASOC and other Clubs kept the marque alive.
- It lists in detail some of the surviving cars

Reviewer: Classics Monthly Magazine - Oct 2006 from UK   0 Stars
If you've an interest in Armstrong Siddeley then do whatever you need to do to own this book. Sell the kids, go without food, but don't forget to strengthen your book shelves as 500 pages are heavy. Every fact and figure, chassis by chassis, is here - including the AS trains and planes. All images are black and white but that's the only criticism. A very specialist title but, with this high level of quality, stocks deserve to sell out quickly.
