Armstrong Siddeley was a British company that operated between 1919 and 1960 and is best known for the production of luxury motor cars and aircraft engines. The last model produced by Armstrong Siddeley was the 1958 Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire which came with a 4 litre engine and automatic transmission. The Armstrong Siddeley car became a casualty of the 1960s merger with Bristol and the last Armstrong Siddeley car left the Coventry factory in 1960.
Base toys produced 2 two-tone versions of the Armstrong Siddeley: Black over Green and Black over Grey.
