Restoration
project; 3,435cc engine; includes a green continuation log book, owner’s
handbook, workshop manual, and parts list
A
rare opportunity to acquire an elegant 1950s British luxury saloon. This
Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire presents as a rewarding restoration project with
excellent provenance and a strong foundation for
recommissioning.
First registered in January
1955, this example has had just four former keepers in total, reflecting a
carefully preserved ownership history. It is finished in grey with red leather
upholstery, a classic and highly desirable colour combination that complements
the marque’s refined and distinguished character.
Powered by a 3,435cc engine paired with a manual gearbox, the
Sapphire delivers the smooth and composed performance expected of Armstrong
Siddeley’s flagship saloon of the period. While currently offered as a
restoration project, it remains an appealing candidate for either light
recommissioning or a full restoration to return it to its former
glory.
The vehicle is accompanied by a valuable
collection of historical documentation, including a green continuation log book,
owner’s handbook, workshop manual, and parts list. These items enhance the car’s
authenticity and provide useful reference material for restoration and ongoing
maintenance.
This Sapphire represents an
increasingly scarce and collectible British classic, offering enthusiasts and
collectors the chance to acquire a distinctive post-war luxury saloon with
strong heritage appeal and significant potential. Ideal for a marque specialist
or anyone seeking a rewarding and characterful long-term
project.
