Armstrong Siddeley Typhoon

The chassis had independent front suspension using longitudinal torsion bars and a live rear axle with leaf springs.

A Girling hydro-mechanical braking system was fitted, with the front drums hydraulically operated while those at the rear used rod and cable.

The four-seat, two-door body was made of steel and aluminium panels fitted over a wood-and-aluminium frame with a fabric roof.

The remaining one (registered JHP 113) passed into the private ownership of the late Les Clark of Ilkeston in Derbyshire, UK.

The car is painted in midnight blue over grey (originally all black), and was in regular use until the early 1990s.
