Description
The Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire Mk II was an evolution of the Sapphire series, designed to offer even greater luxury and refinement. Produced in limited numbers in the late 1950s, it represented the pinnacle of Armstrong Siddeley’s post-war engineering before the company ceased car production.
Powered by a 4.0-liter inline-six engine, the Star Sapphire Mk II provided smooth and effortless performance, with power delivered through either a four-speed manual or an automatic transmission. The car was known for its excellent ride quality, aided by independent front suspension and well-tuned rear leaf springs.
The styling retained the stately elegance of its predecessors, with a large chrome grille, flowing body lines, and a spacious four-door saloon configuration. The interior featured the finest materials, including high-quality leather upholstery, polished wood trim, and generous seating space, creating a comfortable and refined driving environment.
The Star Sapphire Mk II was praised for its build quality, smooth performance, and understated luxury, appealing to a discerning clientele. As one of the last cars produced by Armstrong Siddeley, it holds a special place in British automotive history, remaining a sought-after classic among collectors and enthusiasts.
