Armstrong Siddeley 17hp Gallery
In the early 1930's the motorcar industry was advancing quickly. As a result, the 15hp model began to look outdated despite frequent updates. To address this issue, a new model was introduced in 1934 called the 17hp. It came with an overhead valve engine, improved chassis and suspension, and a range of new body styles.
These new bodies were available in three different chassis lengths: Short Wheelbase (SWB), Standard Wheelbase, and Long Wheelbase (LWB). They included a six-light Saloon, a four-light Sports Saloon, a four-seat two-door Sporting Foursome, a Tourer and Limousine, as well as Landaulet versions, all produced in-house by Burlington. Customers could also buy rolling chassis to take to their preferred coachbuilder and have a body of their own style created.
