As part of a two-pronged attack on the world's car markets. Armstrong
Siddeley introduced this stylish two-door drophead. Using the same
chassis and running gear as the Lancaster, it was stodgy to drive, but
the styling set it apart from its pre-war counterparts: flush-filting
headlights and faired-in front wings (from the Lancaster) were
up-to-the-minute. The 70bhp 1991cc overhead-valve engine was earned over
from the pre-war 16hp, but was rugged and torquey, offering easy 50mph
cruising in those restrained times.
