Gone already. What is it?

Armstrong Siddeley, early 50s.  Ripe for @vulgalour or @Angrydicky :)

what a BEAST.  Armstrong Siddeleys were on the list until we found out none of them fit in our garage, they're a BIG car.

My old man had a Hurricane drophead coupe in the fifties. At six years old I thought it was cool. The handbrake failed one night and it stuffed itself into the side of the house. Chucked it in for scrap and got  a Rover 14 which was also pretty cool.

The Lust is real, strange, as imports normally turn me off...

That is almost my perfect style of project, I do have a hankering for these grey bumpered Alpines 

I hope someone can save it

I nearly had one of these rather than my Sunny Estate (long story): however my enduring memory of these cars was the furious sound of tappets almost from new.

It would however be nice to see that put back on the road.

Were they a rare case of a car actually being awful then? I unfortunately have never had the pleasure* of growing up with them around

Don't ask me why, Reg, but I'm not sure I can continue to live in this world without this shitty old piece of grey porridge

Like, I'm on the verge of phoning my bank and seeing if they'll loan me £3k. WTF is wrong with me? That reg though! And everything else about it. FFFFFFFUUUU

Oh, you NEED that. It's wonderful. I remember these as a kid and loved them, even back in the early 70s when they were getting a bit crusty.

That doesn't sound a bad deal really. Nice to see one which appears still to have some metal left at the tops of the rear wings and hasn't been platebottied.

I couldn't say if the whole car was awful - but the sound of tappets from the engine meant you could identify one coming towards you from 400 yards away.
