Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire

The Star Sapphire was Armstrong Siddeley's swansong, representing the company's final attempt to compete in the luxury car market. Its distinctive styling featured quad headlamps and the famous Sphinx mascot. Despite excellent build quality and performance, the model couldn't compete commercially and the company ceased car production in 1960.
