Description

The Armstrong Siddeley Lancaster 18 was a luxury saloon produced by the British manufacturer Armstrong Siddeley in the late 1940s. Named after the legendary Avro Lancaster bomber, the car was designed to embody refinement, quality craftsmanship, and the company’s strong engineering heritage.

Powered by a 2.3-liter inline-six engine, the Lancaster 18 offered improved performance over its smaller 16-horsepower counterpart. The engine was paired with Armstrong Siddeley’s signature pre-selector gearbox, allowing for smooth and effortless gear changes, a feature that set the brand apart from many competitors.

The Lancaster 18 featured elegant and formal styling, with a stately grille, sweeping fenders, and a spacious four-door saloon body. The interior was designed for maximum comfort, featuring high-quality wood and leather finishes, reflecting the brand’s focus on luxury and craftsmanship.

This model was well-regarded for its reliability, refined ride quality, and understated elegance, appealing to buyers who sought a sophisticated post-war automobile. While production numbers were relatively limited, the Lancaster 18 remains a cherished classic among collectors, representing Armstrong Siddeley’s commitment to engineering excellence and luxury motoring.
