I'm not much younger than Kerry Schroeder, but I remember being shocked as a kid when my father told me that Armstrong Siddeley were still making those cars in 1960. Compared to my Corgi Mercedes 600 they looked antediluvian.

Well, I would never have had a Rolls Royce down as a "practical" car, but that state one with a complete toolkit *and* spare parts is incredible! To think today where most cars don't even carry a spare wheel, let alone toolkit is even more remarkable.

I love that Bentley Continental and the Armstrong Siddeley . There is something with Brittish luxury cars no German or whatever brand car has , they have majestic presence without a whim of agression , allways sympathetic . Unique !

Unlike my XJ Portfolio, which looks downright aggressive from the front (and no doubt, in your rear view mirror)! However, inside, it reverts to typ; being like a London gentleman’s Club on wheels - with all the hi tech 21st century gadgets. My car does in excess of 155mph - but where can I drive.it like that, one has to keep in mind that if the needle is half way around the clock, it’s already. doing 90mph.

Many British motorcars of the 1950's were indeed stylistically old fashioned if not truly obsolete. But compared to more streamlined models, they were much more elegant, refined, and beautiful.

My 1965 Black/Black Jaguar Mark 10 has every bit of presence as these. And it does not leave an oil stain on the floor like the 'missing' Rolls Royce from the stable! Of course the 'Royals' used the DS420 for decades.
