ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY Hurricane 18 HP

 

The restoration of the car was started early 1990, the old paint was removed and a new layer of paint was added in a new colour, off white. Technically the car was completely checked and reconditioned but overhauling the original engine was not necessary. The interior was upgraded with new carpets, the dashboard repainted and the instruments checked. The seats are still in original condition. The hood of the car was renewed.

The brake system is cleaned, checked and the wheel cylinders and brake master cylinder are overhauled, also the brake linings are renewed. Four new tubes are fitted and the front wheel tyres are new. A new Clutch plate is fitted. It has fresh oil and filters and also the petrol pump is revised. The exhaust system is stainless except one silencer that is a plain steel one for a better sound.

This Hurricane is very reliable and a lot of fun to drive. You can travel very comfortable and quiet and it has enough space for luggage to use the car for a holiday.
