1956 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346
1956 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346
The Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346 was a British luxury saloon produced between 1952 and 1960. It was the first of the Sapphire models and was known for its refined engineering, comfortable ride, and elegant styling, it featured six-cylinder engines with hemispherical combustion chambers and appealed to professionals and government officials seeking reliability, performance, and understated sophistication. In The James Bond novel Diamonds are Forever our hero is picked up from the Ritz Hotel in a chauffeur driven Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire.
This 1956 example presents pleasantly in blue and silver coachwork over a red leather interior and comes from a deceased estate. The stylish motor car features 'suicide' style front doors and harks back to an era of sophisticated motoring when it was more expensive than the Daimler or Jaguar competitors of its day. Although we are told that the car runs it would benefit from some attention to the interior. This low owner example is offered to auction with a V5 registration document and with a little input should result in a lot of head turning motoring. Consigned by Dominic Lake
