Opis

For sale is an exceptionally rare Armstrong Siddeley Hurricane, an exclusive British post-war convertible produced in limited numbers between 1946 and 1953. This elegant two-door Drophead Coupé combines classic British styling with the engineering excellence of the early post-war era. Vehicles of this type are rarely offered on the market, especially in a complete and highly restorable condition.

The Hurricane offered here is an excellent restoration project, largely complete and retaining all major components.

Condition & Mechanical Details

• Engine runs smoothly and evenly

• Gearbox operates correctly and the vehicle moves under its own power

• Braking system is functional but only to a limited extent and is not roadworthy

• Electrical system is present; full functionality has not been tested

• Bodywork shows age-related wear but provides a solid basis for restoration

• Convertible top is present but requires restoration

• Interior is complete, including the original instruments and wooden dashboard

• Vehicle rolls and steers, making loading and transport straightforward

The vehicle is not roadworthy and is explicitly being sold as a restoration project.

The car was imported from England several years ago. It is currently not supplied with registration documents or a registration certificate.

Model History & Highlights

Today, the Armstrong Siddeley Hurricane is a highly sought-after classic because:

• Only approximately 2,600 examples were produced during its seven-year production run

• Many cars have been scrapped or heavily modified over the decades

• It is one of the few luxury British convertibles built during the early post-war period

• It features an elegant flowing body design strongly reminiscent of pre-war coachbuilt automobiles

• Its mechanical components are robust and well suited for restoration

Technical Specifications

• Inline six-cylinder engine

• 2.0-litre (early production models)

• 2.3-litre (later production models, as fitted to this vehicle)

• Output: approximately 70–75 bhp

• Four-speed manual transmission

• High-quality steel chassis with independent front suspension

• Premium wood and leather interior, typical of British luxury automobiles

• Multi-stage folding convertible roof

Following the war, these vehicles were primarily supplied to diplomats, military officers, and affluent private owners, reflecting their exceptionally high level of craftsmanship and equipment.

Why This Vehicle Is Attractive to Collectors

• Extremely rare model with a very low survival rate

• Excellent restoration candidate

• High level of completeness significantly simplifies the restoration process

• Elegant design with excellent appreciation potential once restored

• Spare parts availability is surprisingly good, as the engine and transmission were also used in other Armstrong Siddeley models

• A distinguished British Heritage classic with strong collector appeal

Conclusion

An outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the rarest British post-war classic cars and restore it to your own specifications. The engine runs, the vehicle rolls, steers, and brakes, providing a solid foundation for a comprehensive restoration.
