About this car
The Star Sapphire was the last car built by Armstrong Siddeley, the Coventry marque that styled itself as maker of "Cars of Aircraft Quality". Only around 900 were made, which makes this one a rare survivor from the end of the company's story.
It was well equipped for 1959: disc brakes, a three-speed automatic gearbox, speed-hold control, power steering, front and rear heaters and two-speed wipers were all standard. This car is finished in Corinthian Green over Starlight Green, a period-correct pairing.
The page gives no mileage, registration or ownership history, so those details would need confirming with the dealer.
