A non-affiliated group for owners and enthusiasts of Armstrong Siddeley cars and related marques to share information, tips, photographs, publicity material, forthcoming events, etc.

ASOC AT THE NEC.

These are trying times I know -- but we really do need your help with the ASOC Stand this time around. The team did well last year winning very coveted awards for the Club. This year the team has been depleted somewhat and it is down to me to compete with the excellent efforts so far. So, what do I want from all Siddeley inspired people? Well firstly I want your encouragement, then your ideas. followed by lots of volunteers to help man the Stand from 13th to 15th November, then I want interesting rarely seen cars and finally I need sponsors. Call me on ++44 01452 302 337 or email me at cookef@talktalk.net -- Frank

Sphinx Division (the spares arm of the NZ A/S club) maintains a large stock of new, second-hand and remanufactured parts for postwar Armstrong Siddeleys. Enquiries may be directed to Sphinx by e-mail via Dick Denyer. Sales are restricted to members of ASCC-NZ or to the spares services of affiliated clubs. The annual membership fee would be well worthwhile if you're looking at buying parts. Contact ASCC-NZ at PO Box 5219, Wellington, NZ.

Members are invited to advise the moderator of any events that we can list here.

The pictures in the photo gallery is the Fraser Nash car which languished for years at Heathrow, not the Sphinx racer. I have a fairly detailed video

Re: Armstrong Siddeley Experimental Prototype 550F
From what I have seen, probably on the video footage, the two side-draft carburettors are just bolted straight to the head via only two of the four ports, the
