Comments from the seller
A truly superb car that really stands out in a crowd. "The Captain" has only traveled about 25,000 kms since a 'ground-up' restoration was completed around 1990.
The car has a leather interior of the finest quality. There are seats for six people in great comfort and safety. Seatbelts are fitted for all, including inertia-reel belts for the driver and left-hand front seat passenger. A lap seatbelt is provided for the central front and rear seat passengers. Left and right-hand-side rear seat passengers have lap-sash seat-belts.
The original 'positive earth' electrical system has been converted to 'negative earth' so any modern equipment can be installed. A radio is fitted together with a roof-mounted aerial.
The driver has a comprehensive array of original instruments mounted on the dashboard, including a "head-up" oil-pressure warning light.
The car has Conditional Registration in NSW under the Historic Vehicle Scheme - "Logbook ".
The gearbox is a 4-speed 'pre-selector'- renowned for its ease of operation.
The original toolkit and operating manuals are included. The car is fitted with a lockable petrol cap.
For about 15 years we have been the custodians of "The Captain" - now overdue for a more active life than we have provided.
A new owner would be advised to join the Armstrong Siddeley Car Club with members in most States and branches in NSW, SA and VIC. The Club maintains a Spares operation for members, providing access to some new and used parts.
