My dad had one of those Armstrong Siddleys from before I was born in 1937 till 1956. It was his daily driver and yes it was a gutless wonder. During WW2 he ran it on a cocktail of kerosene(parrafin?) and petrol. He put one tyre over another when a tyre wore out. It had a monstrous flywheel which also served as the cooling fan which meant it regulary boiled in the Australian climate. In 1956 my brother and I sent it off for scrap and put him in a Ruby.
