Description
The Armstrong Siddeley Hurricane 16 was a stylish two-door drophead coupé produced by the British manufacturer Armstrong Siddeley in the late 1940s. It was designed as a more sporting alternative to the brand’s saloon models while maintaining the company’s reputation for luxury and refinement.
Powered by a 2.0-liter inline-six engine, the Hurricane 16 delivered smooth and reliable performance, complemented by Armstrong Siddeley’s signature pre-selector gearbox, which allowed for effortless and precise gear changes. The car was built on the same chassis as the Lancaster saloon, providing a comfortable and well-balanced ride.
The design featured elegant flowing lines, with sweeping front fenders, a distinctive upright grille, and a folding soft-top roof that allowed for open-air driving. The interior was finished to a high standard, with fine leather upholstery and polished wood trim, reinforcing its status as a premium automobile.
The Hurricane 16 was appreciated for its blend of performance, luxury, and craftsmanship. It appealed to discerning buyers seeking a sophisticated yet sporty post-war vehicle. Though produced in limited numbers, it remains a sought-after classic among collectors today.
