John Davenport Siddeley, 1st Baron Kenilworth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Siddeley Autocar Company in 1902, after beginning to import Peugeots from France. Siddeley became the manager of the newly-independent company, renaming it Wolseley-Siddeley. Siddeley remained in charge through 1935 and was made en.wikipedia.org /wiki/John_Davenport_Siddeley,_1st_Baron_Kenilworth

The Armstrong Siddeley Owners Club web site During the war period, in 1915, the Siddeley-Deasy Company produced the Siddeley Puma aero engine, and in the same year began the manufacture of aircraft on a large scale. Four years later, the Armstrong-Whitworth and Siddeley-Deasy interests were amalgamated, and the Armstrong-Whitworth Development Company was formed to control Armstrong-Siddeley Motors and Sir W.G. Armstrong-Whitworth Aircraft Ltd. In a few years time, Mr. Siddeley was closely associated with their development, and took part in the Royal Automobile Club's historic 1.000 miles trail in 1900, driving a 6 h.p. www.siddeley.com /people_JDS_herald.html

British Motor Manufacturers 1894-1960, Siddeley-Deasy The Siddeley-Deasy models are best described as the cars available between the demise of Deasy and the start of Armstrong-Siddeley. www.britishmm.co.uk /history.asp?id=813

British Motor Manufacturers 1894-1960, Siddeley Former racing cyclist John Davenport Siddeley assembled modified Peugeots in Coventry and a selection of models was marketed as Siddeley including a single-cylinder car in 1904 that was manufactured by Wolseley. www.britishmm.co.uk /history.asp?id=812

armstrong siddeley history With the return of peacetime things again changed and Siddeley Deasy merged with Sir W. Armstrong's Armstrong Whitworth Development Co. and a subsidiary, Armstrong Siddeley Motors Ltd. was created. The Company was born out of the act of the Siddeley Deasy Company being taken over by the Armstrong Whitworth Development Company. John Davenport Siddeley remained at the helm of The Company until 1935 when A W Aircraft was sold and became part of Hawker Siddeley Aircraft, the Hawker part of the company being based in Surrey and having its origins with both Messrs. www.thoroughbred-cars.com /cars/UK/Armstrong/history.htm

welcome Siddeley left Wolseley for Deasy, and late in 1911 the Siddeley name was dropped to avoid confusion with Siddeley-Deasy (Later Armstrong-Siddeley). Siddeley's first move was to purge the old horizontal engine designs of Austin along with the expensive racing programme. This left only the more modern Siddeley designs, and from then on Wolseley motor cars were sold as Wolseley-Siddeleys. www.grandpasoldcars.com /articles_wolseley.htm

CyberSnippets Siddeley was not amused, but when a journalist described the car in 1912 as "quiet and inscrutable as the sphinx" alluding to the curious bonnet style and the "Silent-Knight" sleeve-valve engine, Siddeley saw an opportunity and the Sphinx became both logo and mascot, continuing until 1960. Ernest Siddeley when asked, said it was not dismantled in the Billiard room, (they did not have one), but Ernest did visit the Marmon factory in the USA in 1919 and was more than aware of American advances in car manufacturing. The top part of the radiator shell was based on the shamrock showing the outline of the shamrock-shaped radiator with an intertwined "DC" for Deasy with the name underneath. www.motorsnippets.com /cars/siddeley/index2.htm

Armstrong Siddeley Armstrong Siddeley's rather staid image was endorsed during the 1930s by a range of six-cylinder cars with ohv engines though a four cylinder 12hp was produced up until 1936. A reminder that Armstrong Siddeley was one of, the country's largest manufacturers of aeroengines came in 1933 when the 5 litre six-cylinder Siddeley Special was announced with Hiduminium aluminium alloy engine. The very week the war in Europe ended, Armstrong Siddeley announced their first postwar models: the Lancaster four-door saloon and the Hurricane drophead coupé, echoing the names of aircraft built by the Hawker Siddeley Group (as it had become in 1935) during the war. www.vea.qc.ca /marques1/armstrong.htm

Siddeley-Deasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Siddeley-Deasy ( Deasy Motor Company before 1912) was a British automobile company based in Coventry in the early 20th century. During World War I, Siddeley-Deasy grew to have 5,000 workers producing ambulances and aircraft engines. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Deasy_Motor_Company

People Rolls-Royce Centenary - A Century Of Innovation In 1932, John Siddeley received a knighthood and in 1937, for his services to the nation, he was made first Baron Kenilworth. By 1920 Armstrong Siddeley was producing the first large two-row air-cooled radial engine, the 400hp Jaguar, possibly the leading commercial and military aero engine of the 1920s. During World War I, the Parkside factory produced aircraft and aero engines under licence, followed by his own development of the 230hp Siddeley Puma, over 4,200 of which were produced for use in light bombers and several record-breaking aircraft. 100.rolls-royce.com /people/index.jsp?id=144

Armstrong Siddeley - British Automotive News After the war there was a shortage of materials, and to maintain supplies Siddeley Deasy merged with the Sir WG Armstrong Whitworth Company and became Armstrong Siddeley Motors in 1919. In 1905 Siddeley Autocar merged with Wolseley and when Herbert Austin resigned from Wolseley in 1906 to set up his own company, Austin, Siddeley became Sales Manager. The first car manufactured under the Armstrong Siddeley name was the 30hp which was sold to the European aristocracy. www.britiskbil.com /index.php?module=pagesetter&func=viewpub&tid=11&pid=13

A Wolseley Chronology Siddeley discontinues the horizontal engine designs of Austin and the cars are now marketed as Wolseley-Siddeleys. The Siddeley name was dropped and the cars are once again known simply as Wolseleys. John Davenport Siddeley is appointed as his replacement. www.users.bigpond.com /jimjarron/wolseley_chronology.html

Irish Times Article - MarqueTime ... ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY In 1909 he moved to the Deasy Motor Company and from 1912 that operation became Siddeley-Deasy. The Siddeley Special that replaced the 30 had the same engine but was available in a range of styles, including a roadster with a short wheel-base which could do 90mph and a long wheel-base limousine that weighed two and a half tons. Siddeley joined Wolseley that year, and for the next four years his cars were Wolseley-Siddeleys. www.ireland.com /newspaper/motoring/2004/1020/772527900MOT20MARQUE.html

My homepage The Armstrong Siddeley name is kept alive by the very active Armstrong Siddeley Owners Club, its members and individual enthusiasts in the UK, and by owners clubs and enthusiasts in many other countries including Australia, New Zealand, Holland and Spain. The Armstrong Siddeley Star Saphire was developed from the 346 Saphire, and incorporated a new 4 litre engine producing 165 b.h.p. In 1935 he merged these two companies with Hawker Aircraft to form the Hawker Siddeley Group, although each member company maintained it's independence. www.tumtumtiddly.co.uk /38044.html?*session*id*key*=*session*id*val*

Imperial Airways - Publications - Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Shortly after 1918 AW took over Siddeley Deasy, at the same time closing down the aircraft, airship and motor car departments at Newcastle, leaving that work to be continued at Coventry. In parallel with AW's aviation activities during the First World War, the Siddeley Deasy Motor Car Company of Coventry had started to build aero-engines and aeroplanes at their Parkside works. Initially it built BE2a, BE2b and BE2c aeroplanes that had been designed by the Royal Aircraft Factory at Farnborough, but soon moved on to build aircraft to its own designs, particularly the FK3 and FK8 which were built in large numbers. www.imperial-airways.com /Publications_armstrong_whitworth.html

Independent, The (London): A thoroughly British kind of perfection At the lower end of the market after the Depression, Armstrong- Siddeley competed directly with Lanchester and the smaller Daimlers, even to sharing with them the pre-selector gearbox that was the earliest (1928) and arguably the most friendly form of automatic transmission ever for the enthusiastic driver. In the 20 years before the outbreak of war in 1939, Armstrong- Siddeley developed more than 20 engines and almost as many derivatives, ranging from the 12 of 1,236cc through the 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 20/25 models to the 30 of 4,960cc, all of six cylinders. At the upper end it again competed with Daimler and was considered by the impoverished aristocracy to be an alternative to the Rolls 20 and its derivatives, of which the chassis alone, without a body, was more than twice the price. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_200408/ai_n12804901

Car of the month In 1919 the Armstrong Whitworth Development Company took over the Siddeley Deasy Company and Armstrong Siddeley Motors Ltd was formed. During the late 1950s, Armstrong Siddeley found it increasingly difficult to compete with other luxury car makers, such as Jaguar and so the last of it cars emerged from the Coventry factory in 1960, the company left to concentrate on its aircraft business. After the Second World War, Armstrong Siddeley was one of the first manufacturers to announce a new vehicle programme. www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk /museum/featurecar

icNewcastle - Armstrong-Siddeley Hurricane Rolls-Royce had developed this alloy for its aero-engines and it was produced by the Siddeley subsidiary High Duty Alloys Ltd. Production ceased in 1960 when parent company Hawker Siddeley merged with Bristol. I was lucky enough to be able to drive a Sapphire in my early days of motoring when a good-natured funeral director kindly allowed me to try out one of his limos to get the hang of the unusual pre-selector transmissions that were fitted to many of these cars. icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk /1700icmotors/classiccars/tm_objectid=15179552&method=full&siteid=50081&headline=armstrong-siddeley-hurricane-name_page.html

Coventry University: Coventry University Technology Park Rationalisation of the aircraft industry by the government at the end of the Second World War produced a merger of Armstrong Siddeley and Bristol Aero Engines. In 1906 the newly formed Deasy Motor Car Manufacturing Company, took over premises formerly occupied by the Eden Car Company. It is fitting that this particular site was selected for the Technology Park and will now continue its great tradition of hosting innovative technological development. www.cutp.co.uk /hist.htm

de Havilland, Hawker de Havilland - History Armstrong Whitworth had been involved in aeronautical engineering, and in 1920, a subsidiary company, Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft, was formed specifically to design and manufacture aircraft and utilise the manufacturing facilities developed during WW1 by Siddeley-Deasy. Two years later it was purchased by Armstrong Siddeley and amalgamated with Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft to form the Hawker Siddeley Aircraft Company. In 1965, the parent UK company, de Havilland Aircraft, was absorbed into the Hawker Siddeley Aircraft Company to created Hawker de Havilland. www.boeing.com.au /History/hdh.html

BHP.htm Halford, starting out on a long and distinguished career in the aero-engine industry, moved to Siddeley-Deasy ( Siddeley) with the assets of BHP. The BHP Co was eventually merged into Siddeley as the design flaws in the original BHP engine proved to be beyond the facilities at BHP to sort out. Up to thirty engines of other makes were originally copied from the Austro-Daimler. www.oldengine.org /members/diesel/Duxford/BHP.htm
