Description

The Armstrong Siddeley Lancaster 16 was a luxury automobile produced by the British manufacturer Armstrong Siddeley in the late 1940s. It was named after the famous Avro Lancaster bomber, reflecting the company’s aviation heritage.

Powered by a 2.0-liter or 2.3-liter inline-six engine, the Lancaster 16 offered smooth and refined performance. It featured a pre-selector gearbox, a hallmark of Armstrong Siddeley cars, allowing for effortless gear changes. The car was designed with an emphasis on comfort and quality, featuring a spacious, well-appointed interior with high-quality materials and craftsmanship.

The styling was elegant and understated, with a traditional upright grille, sweeping fenders, and a formal four-door saloon body. Its design was a blend of pre-war influences and post-war modernization, making it a sophisticated choice for discerning buyers.

Although it was not a high-performance vehicle, the Lancaster 16 was appreciated for its reliability, refinement, and build quality. It played a role in re-establishing Armstrong Siddeley as a premier luxury car manufacturer in the post-war era, paving the way for future models like the Whitley and Sapphire.
