British by KYLIE WILSON NOW better known for their achievements in aircraft engineering, England’s Armstrong-Siddeley company spent 40 years creating luxury cars in the 20th century. And although their car manufacturing days are long over, there remains many passionate devotees of the vehicles that were made during this time. Many of them are set to gather from across Australia in Beechworth this month as part of the national Armstrong-Siddeley Car Club annual rally occurring in Beechworth on March 17. Among them will be Beechworth resident Graham Caron, a proud owner of two Armstrong-Siddeley vehicles. He has had an affinity for the vehicles ever since purchasing “a stripped down wreck” of a 1953 model back in 1997, which he spent over a decade restoring into a roadworthy vehicle.
