Description
It is equipped with a robust 6-cylinder engine, offering a 3.4-liter capacity and 120 horsepower. Notably, it includes a Wilson gearbox, a semi-automatic transmission with an electric selector, a pioneering technology Siddeley introduced in 1928 through a sister company. This move from unsynchronized to semi-automatic transmissions was a major success, positioning it as a quintessential English cruiser.
Armstrong Siddeley cars were renowned for their high quality and "aristocratic touch," but they were also notoriously expensive, leading to a decline in sales. In 1959, the company was acquired by Rolls-Royce, which subsequently ceased its car manufacturing. Only 7,697 Sapphires were ever produced. However, the legacy of the Armstrong Siddeley factory lives on, now producing engines for Rolls-Royce.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The car is in great condition, featuring a very smooth-running and sounding engine. Once you familiarize yourself with the gearbox, it becomes easy to drive. There are no issues to report; it's ready to drive away.
-
Interior condition
The interior remains largely original except for the carpet, which has been replaced at some point and shows some wear in places. The car features nice leather bench seats that exude the classic old English leather scent, complete with patina and natural wear, although there is a small rip on the edge of the passenger seat (refer to the picture). The headliner, door cards, and wooden dashboard and trims are all in good condition, complemented by a very nice old bakerlite knobs, adding to the vehicle's vintage charm.
-
Exterior condition
The bodywork and panels on the car are straight with no significant rust issues, and the underbody is similarly free of rust, though it exhibits some normal surface rust in places. The older paint job has maintained its integrity very well and continues to look appealing. On closer inspection, you might notice a few minor paint bubbles and slight cracks, but these are not conspicuous. The chrome and glasswork are nice and bright, adding to the cars overall attractive appearance.
-
General condition
This car has been lovingly maintained in a great driving condition, used almost every summer as documented in the owner's mileage diary (refer to pictures). With fewer than five similar models in Sweden, treat yourself to this wonderful piece of English automotive history.
