The true British example of quality and understatement. I always loved the look of the Hurricane ever since I saw one at a certain angle in my "Dumpy Book Of Motors" from 1959 despite the fact I was only 11.
I owned a 1948 Hurricane around 1970, that was the smaller 16 hp engine. Later ones had the 18 hp. Super car, pre-selector box (with a centrifugal clutch), valve radio and engineered rather than built. Last I saw of it was about 15 years ago, the guy I sold it to in 1973 wtill had it. In some ways I wish I still had it.
I got a 48 Lancaster in 1970 I remember the valve radio ... big box under the dash on the firewall Little box on the dash with mechanical cables going to the radio unit My brother still has a very nice Hurricane.

Always think that Armstrong Siddeleys are underrated and overlooked .
Love Drophead Coupes from the late forties and early fifties. I used to own a 1953 XK 120 Drophead many years ago.
It’s absolutely gorgeous
Wow
better sort the seized brakes , before the clutch wears out !
