Armstrong SIddeley Star Sapphire Interior wanted

[frenchcarman]

I bought this old Armstrong last year but cannot find an interior anywhere for it so if anyone knows of one whatever the condition I would be very interested so I can make a start on the restoration. If anyone has any good interior pictures it would be interesting as well.

not a lot of help, but a few years ago i went to a farm to view a load of minis (all junk), on the same farm there was about 25-30 siddeleys that belonged to one guy, he had a habit of buying them, stripping them / starting the restoration and buying another, in every shed and barn there where part stripped cars and bits.

only a couple had escaped and remained in complete fair order - he was paying to rent space for all these cars and i think had got behind on the rent (certainly the reason that the minis where up for disposal)

all the minis where cleared from the site, so i suspect that the same fate happened to all the other cars

unfortunatley the guy showing us was an utter space cadet and we couldnt get any sense from him, so walked away from the 30-40 minis that where there as it was just going to be too much hassle to move them

See the attached link for pics. My dad has bought and sold a number of cars to these guys over the years.

The owners club would be the first place to start for the interior.

Why not contact the poster of the two examples pictured on Page 177 of the Classics left to die/rotting thread?

By the way: good luck with your project. Should keep you busy for the next decade or so!

Thanks for the link to the pictures and the link for the other two Sapphires. I will follow these up.
