1947 – Armstrong Siddeley Hurricane 16 HP Cabriolet, Chassis no. 162567

“Full history: sold new in Uruguay” A rare and distinctive British firm, Armstrong Siddeley made its mark in the early 20th century in both the automotive and aeronautical industries. Indeed, it was taken over by Rolls-Royce in 1966, precisely because of its expertise as an aircraft engine manufacturer! The Hurricane was launched in 1946. Fitted with a 2-litre 6-cylinder engine producing 70 ch, a torsion bar suspension system and hydraulically operated brakes on the front wheels, it represented a quantum leap forward compared to pre-war models. Our example was delivered new to Montevideo, in Uruguay, where it remained for some thirty years. It was subsequently imported into Italy, where it was stored for many years, before joining André Lurton’s collection in 2012, which it left in 2020! This Hurricane then found its way into a collection in the south of France. A comprehensive, high-quality restoration was then undertaken. The work included: a complete overhaul of the braking system, a comprehensive service of the powertrain, a new fuel tank, a re-wired electrical system, a fresh coat of paint, treated and restored floor panels, and new chrome fittings… Since its restoration, our example has covered only a few kilometres. In excellent overall condition, this elegant convertible is now being offered at a highly attractive estimate!
