Armstrong Siddeley Motors: the Cars, the Company and the People

“If the main title doesn’t say it all, the subtitle certainly does. This book contains every detail fans of this British marque might be looking for, right down to the serial numbers and abbreviated histories of many of the cars. At nearly 500 pages, this book is truly a labor of love. In fact, author and Armstrong Siddeley owner Bill Smith put 30 years of research into writing this definitive work. Included are stories about the people who built the car, the details of the motor cars they produced for 41 years before the company was absorbed by Rolls-Royce and the lasting impression the car has made, illustrated through car club information and even the author’s own passion for the marque. At $139.95 US, this is not a cheap book, but rather a worthy investment.” - Old Cars Weekly
